You're missing the point. I'd try and explain it to you further, but you're apparently one of those people who doesn't believe parenting actually involves anything other than showing up.SpidermanTuba said:Embarassed by what? It was the restaurant that served a FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD a long island ice tea. Are you suggesting that a mother should know more about alcoholic beverages than a damn waitress? Where is that in the parenting books "Chapter 5 - How to make sure restaurants don't serve your children alcohol drinks"
I think it's reasonable to expect that. I also think it's reasonable to expect that a mom keeps a closer eye on what her 5 year old child ingests. Like, say, any eye, whatsoever. Obviously she didn't even look to see what her kid was drinking. Long Islands look nothing like apple juice. They're cloudy, sometimes multiple colors. You seem to be willing to give the mom a free pass, even though she didn't even look to see what her own kid was drinking. Keep your "it's not my fault I'm not watching them" kids away from me. I don't want to be responsible when they drown themselves in my toilet because you were too busy signing affidavits to accompany them to the bathroom.SpidermanTuba said:I think that a family walking into a familiy restaurant has a reasonable expectation that their pre-school aged children will not be served alcoholic beverages. You apparently do not think it is reasonable to expect that. I'll make sure never to take my kids to any restaurant you might happen operate.
