Taking children to a fancy restaurant?

I've gone to "fancy" restaurants where young children were present. I've seen well behaved and unruly children. The well behaved children's parents had plenty of diversions available for the kids,between toys,snacks and attention given. The parents paid a lot of attention to the kids and when the kids started to get too loud,bored,etc,they excused themselves and left before they interfered with other diners.

I've also seen parents who are not prepared and expect the young child(ren) to behave regardless.Children are not little adults,they cannot be expected to wait for food or keep quiet till the adult are done socializing.

Make sure your son has a good nap before and will not needing to sleep(nap or bed time) while at the restaurant. Make sure to give him a good meal before going.And bring plenty of entertainment he likes and enjoys.

Be prepared to leave if/when your son has had enough.Do't make others suffer just so you can stick around.

Please be kind and considerate of the fellow diners.

Happy Birthday to your Grandmother :)

A one year old is not as bad if they are not very needy. But I think that you should go to the birthday party. You just need to find a trustworthy babysitter. Or actually suggest paying the teens of the family to babysit the little ones together. Order Pizza and buy Redbox. That way they can bond together

listen, it's her 91st birthday. i think she wants to spend it with her family and not have you stay home just because of your kid. i say you go, for her sake. if the kid starts acting up, just take him outside and calm him down. and this is all on the speculation that he WILL act up, who knows maybe he won't, he isn't my kid so i don't know. Regardless of if it's your kid or someone elses, there will always be something to nitpick about wherever you are, so it's not like your giving those people an issue. don't worry about them, just go to her birthday dinner. cause, as sad as this sounds, she may not have alot of those left. she's 91. the life expectancy nowadays is like 80. be there while you're able to, cause if she passes you'll only regret not having gone.

Well hopefully they have a private area for you why don't you ask? I know How noisy kids can get on your nerves my grands live with us they are 4 months 4 years old and 9 When they act up we take them outside to quiet, them down I do know my husband will get away for coffee at macdonaldsover low and behold there are kids there inning and crying we pick up and go .
