We love seeing families with small children in restaurants. Sometimes it can be a problem. We went to the Dan"l Webster inn in Sandwich for Thanksgiving when we lived on the Cape. Boys were 8 and 5 at the time. An elderly couple were about to be seated next to us when they saw the boys and asked for a different table. None were available. This couple finished there dinner prior to us and stopped to say how wonderful the boys were. No surprise to us as the boys enjoyed dressing up and going for dinner. It's all in the parenting.
You can't spoil a child. You can create a brat. I tell everyone my wife tried and they were not spoiled. Today, both good men.
I am a retired workaholic and a continuing aquaholic.
