My discipline choice for something like this would be to pack the meal up to go after everyone else is done eating, and when that kid is hungry in an hour, offer it then.

We rarely go out to eat, but when we do, we have a chat beforehand about how things are going to work. Then "a look" is all that is usually needed to keep them in line.

LOL<br /><br />but I suppose it would not have been the most tactful. definitely sounds like someone needs as a day off. <br />but honestly -- if they didn't obey the first, second, or 15th time - what makes her think the 36th is going to work?<br />at least change your tactics girl, since clearly, parenting by volume doesn't seem to be working.

HAHAH! So funny. I try really hard (well, I guess I could try harder) not to judge people for their parenting approaches when in public, I try to imagine (like you) that they are single moms, have shitty days, cant cope, whatever, but FREAKING A! It’s not easy to pretend someone’s crazy moment isn’t impacting you when it’s in public. I’m surprised there was no clapping!

In mid-meal. Oh, yes ma'am I have.<br /><br />It's not the kids fault, it's the parents.
