What's your pet peeve?

2) If they're toddlers or older:

- No getting up from the table (nothing is worse than when parents let their kids play around the table or, God forbid, run around)
- No turning around and staring at other customers.
- No whining of any kind.
- No fighting with siblings.
- No throwing food.
- Sit your butt in the chair with legs under the table, and quietly eat your food.

Rule number 2 applies anywhere, whether you're in McDonalds' or a four-star restaurant. The parents must have a trump card up their sleeve to make the kids behave, ie no triple chocolate snickers cake for dessert if you don't behave.

That will all work if you sedate the kid before you go out.

LOL

Just order an extra glass of wine, tell the waiter to put it in this sippy cup, and tell the little tyke it's grape juice.
