I have a problem with these children's parents who sat in a different room while the kids(not toddlers) tore around the restaurant. It is unacceptable behavior. Bad manners are bad manners no matter what. You teach your children by example. As the child gets bigger so do the problems if not corrected. I never said I expected the children to be little robots and sit quietly at the table, I do expect the parent to curb the children's behavior when it becomes out of hand. It is not up to the restaurant staff to raise your child, it is not up to me to raise your child either.
Whoa there...
