If you'll look at the context of my post, it was the argument that people SHOULDN'T take their kids to those generic restaurants, because doing so perpetuates said restaurants. Instead, the idea was, if you take them to good, non-cookie cutter restaurants (i.e. "NoTable costs the same as Earls"), maybe you'll see more NoTables out in the suburbs. Do you see where I'm coming from given that context?

That's why I get a kick out the presumed sophistication of the adults-only mindset. It's actually very parochial.

Sure, parochial. Whatever. Whatever it is, your progeny are none of my business and I'd prefer you refrain from inflicting them on me. Your freedom to swing your arms about ends (if not before) at the point where they'll come into contact with my head, and so on. Any expectation that others should have to put up with your kid's poor behaviour is beyond impolite. It's certainly selfish.
