Anyways, I'm think ppl is taking things out of proportion now.
Given the challenge that is to cope with the toddler in an restaurant I think most parents only choice is to take their children to tot-friendly stablishments where there are areas to play and climb. Unfortunately these places lack in the nutritional department and quite frankly, there are not the ideal place for a family christmas lunch.
I'm sorry for any family that took their little ones to a venue that was advertised as family -venue only to find lack of tolerance and flexibility from the adult customers.
As far as I'm aware, toddlers run and jum and do toddler things. Eating in a restaurant can be a very unpleasant experience for the child, the parents and the rest of the customers given that tots haven't mastered the skills of waiting and sitting. ANd given their short attention spams you can only keep them entertained for so long.
To expect a tod to behave like an adult is unrealistic and will surely have a terrible effect on that child's sense of self-worth.
I'm just guessing.
