Mom Deserves A Break Today, But Don't WE too?

Ok, I agree that after 9 months of pregnancy and having to watch what we eat to 'feed the baby', new moms (any mom) deserves a night (or two) out to dinner. But…at the risk of sounding like my elders... I have to say: "In my day"... we knew to leave the kids at home until they were trained and/or old enough to display proper “restaurant manners”. The alternative: take them to a 'family oriented' place like McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc... But a 'sit down' restaurant isn't the place for ill behaved children. We are ALL there to experience a 'break' from routine, a night out without having to listen to or talk OVER other people's children. And for those that make the judgment that their children are 'tame enough' for a public outing, it seems they have forgotten that when poor judgment in behavior rears its ugly head, the RESTROOM is the place to deal with it, or else remove the child from the premises. Please.. don't subject us all to your child rearing techniques (or lack thereof) in public.
