In reply to Cindy. That's very thoughtful of you to not want to disturb others in public. Thank you for taking the time to read the article. Also, I appreciate you commenting. That's certainly a valid view-point, and you are not alone in that perspective.

Back in the day we thought of others enjoying their restaurant time. Our children knew our expectations. We packed coloring activities, wicky-stix molding activity and a few snacks to tide them over until the food came.
There were a few times we left due to our children being tired near melt down. To us it was most important not to steal other patrons peace.
Imagine saving up to go out on a date with your wife, even hiring a sitter then having someone else’s kiddos take the calm out of the atmosphere.
Maybe a solution is drive through until they get eight on up.
If you were on a date with your wife you’d enjoy a quiet time out. Unless you take her to McDonalds; everyone allows kids to be noisy there.

I so thank you Michael in sharing this!
Had not realized that I was a Subjective as a parent an an adult so no wonder I lost my way as a woman of God along the way! Old traditions especially those of us who grew up under those oppressed WW II parents that were affected by WWII in Europe and Asia where many became so afraid of being rat ted out by neighbours and family. I am beginning to see this now and as a child I must say it was sheer terror if one mis-stepped from subjective identity – wow!
Definitely need to take this into the courts of heaven for forgivenness of judgemental issues and withdraw those judgements as well foregive those “who did not know what they have done” .
When I was a little gal before attending kintergarden my reading material (though I could not read the images were something else) was the images from all those who died and housed in concentration camps, the mass graves, the stravation images, the Jews and Hitler’s Officials, Tanks, devastions, and others as we received weekly papers written in the european language, was my visual learning! I still see those images clearly in my heart and spirit!
The paper/newsletter was about 12″ x 18″shiny finish and in Sepia Tone (brown & cream) color and about a dozen pages more or less. When mom found out that I studied that paper week in and week out she band it from our home! Actually got a spanking for sneaking it and studying it just before it was band.
My goodness the Lord is opening much that need repentance, foregiveness and healing/overcoming.

Super encouraging! It is so hard to step back in those moments and maintain a healthy perspective. Also, I have noticed that the people doing the shaming are so often projecting their own identity-shaping experiences as the standard of goodness or success onto people who are completely different, have different values and live in totally different situations. And many times it just feels like they are trying to reinforce their own identity at the expense of showing others respect and dignity. Thank you for your vulnerability and insight on this topic!
