When my first child was a baby, my husband and I had no problems taking her out to dinner with us. I mean, we never took her to fancy restaurants, but we didn't think twice about taking her to some of the family restaurants near our home. I don't remember us having major issues and, for the most part, we'd leave her in her car seat while she slept and we had dinner like two normal adults. But as she got older and we had another child, we started cutting down on our eating out practice in order to avoid meltdowns and tantrums–which we all know is super mortifying for both parents and other patrons.
Well two days ago, we wrote a post about a waiter who had given a discount to a family for having well-behaved kids… and a whole discussion about kids in restaurants ensued. So we figured it was a great topic for our very first ever MamásLatinas Google Hangout.
Do you take your kids out to dinner with you? What do you do if they misbehave? Have you ever said something to bratty ill-behaved kids at a restaurant when their parents didn't do anything to control them? What do you think about the waiter who gave the family a discount?
Some of our answers may surprise you! Check them out in our first Google Hangout:
