[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 214624, member: 1233"] I am glad you resolved this. I do think you may have to cut it short to accomodate difficult child. I STRONGLE recommend taking books, video games, pencil and paper, whatever to keep difficult child busy while you eat out. It really makes things easier. We have a LOT of fun with Mad Libs at the table. You can print some out if you google mad libs. Even Thanksgiving ones. we have done it for years with all our kids, and even my parents and my adopted gma (neighbor) used to LOVE them. My folks still do, but adopted gma has moved. anyway, take stuff to keep her busy so she will behave at the restaurant. I am sorry you couldn't find a soup kitchen. The absolute BEST Thanksgiving food I have EVER had was at a dinner for the homeless in Austin. I was volunteering at it with a group of friends. Willie Nelson was lined up to sing! ALL the food came from the big hotels, and it was amazing! Sadly, we actually had to go and FIND the homeless to come and eat with us. We all sat down with them and everyone chatted with everyone. We did have a problem as a couple of offices of snotty business people heard that the fancy hotels were cooking the food. They came in (about 100 of them!) and were just RUDE. They even asked to take the leftover food home, one guy wanted to take a whole turkey! We fed them, but we did gently ask them to behave, and they didn't get a single plate of leftovers - we made sure the homeless had those! Anyway, next year you may be in a better position to arrange to go to a soup kitchen. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
