so, here's what you're saying. "my kids were behaving like wild beasts, because, hey, all the other kids behave like wild beasts, so i am reasonably certain that is appropriate behavior for children. they had the audacity to ask me to--gasp--parent my children and i got angry." hello, you are the mother of kids to whom you have done a grave disservice. i don't blame them, i blame you. you aren't, in my opinion, much of a parent. "kid friendly" doesn't mean "let them behave like barbarians." the people in the restaurant who don't have kids in attendance are entitled to a peaceful meal. i do agree the children should be fed as quickly as possible, that is why i always turned in kid's orders first. the restaurant is a little wrong, but you are a LOT wrong. they don't need you and your poorly trained youngsters, trust me.
