i hear what you are saying; however, sometimes it is the easiest thing to do to keep the kids occupied and quiet while waiting for the meal. it can also allow the parents some time to chat while the kids are occupied. i also note that in my kids case we do not allow them any time on the DS from bedtime sunday night until after school is over on friday - so in some ways going out for dinner can cut into thier DS time.
i was in the mall in Red Deer a few days ago and saw some local rube wandering in the mall with his country music blaring from his iPod and he was not wearing headphones - sort of like how one would tote a "ghetto blaster" back in tha day....i found this local "radio rahim" entertaining.....
