[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 152692, member: 1161"] Pet peeve of mine as well. When we'd go to restaurants when the kids were smaller, I'd get worried the kids would be bothering someone if they tried to crawl under OUR table, let alone be loud or run around the restaurant. Never allowed it, and my kids behave very well in restaurants now, yep proud of them for that. I still bring stuff for easy child to do, just a case of markers and some paper at least. If we go on a trip in our OWN car I bring an entire backpack of paper, markers, games & toys, video games for the kids. I don't want to hear them whine and be bored on trips, I would never want it on a plane bothering others. It amazes me how clueless some parents are with this. There are parents at the karate dojo that do this. They have their kids in the 6:00 class, then the parents train in the 7:00 class while their kids wait, but don't bring anything for the kids to amuse themselves with for an hour. They usually end up being disruptive until Sensei has to come off the floor and read them the riot act. And the parent STILL doesn't bring anything the next week either. Allowing your child to disrupt other people in situations like this is just rude, and rudeness is my BIG pet peeve. Sometimes you can't help it, like in a plane you may be unable to get your child to calm down even with a movie or crayons, but to not have that along or even try to get them to settle down is unacceptable. Nobody can be that clueless, I think they just don't care how it affects others, as long as they get their meal out or plane ride. [/QUOTE]
