I think the point that was trying to be made is that the parents should take control. I'm nots aying to sit your child down for 20 hours and not say a word. Find other ways to entertain them in the mean time. If they need to tire themselves out, let them run around...but only if it is an appropriate time/place. Also, children should not be allowed to run around in a food court at a mall with no supervision. Its ridiculous. Its selfish on the parents part that shopping is so important for them that they leave their children alone especially when these kids are doing things to harm each other and other people around. Like I said before, there is a play area in the malls...use it.
Butterfly...yes the person was concerned about their meal that night...Christmas is very important and it wasn't much to ask to have a nice dinner. Yes, it was a family event, but NOT at the buffet! I believe there was an area for these kids to run around. I understand about the plane. Kids should not be allowed to run up and down for hours at a time. Its rude.
Where Im from, children are not allowed to run crazy in all places. There is a common courtesy from parents that in a restaurant they should keep them occupied. The rules are not set by the restaurants, etc. They are set by the PARENTS.
Charlene...well said!
