My wife and I go out to dinner around 7PM and we will almost every time see a young couple with little kids. Not all the time but some times the kids are acting up/cranky and the parents let them. What I don't get is why don't the parents get baby sitters? Why are the kids not in bed by that time? We always got baby sitters when our kids were little. Not only that but our kids were ready for bed by 7PM. They had an active day and they were tired. We see kids in restaurants well past 8:30PM and they are cranky. 30yrs ago if I didn't have the extra bucks for a baby sitter we didn't go out. But I suppose times have changed!

When we are being seated we look around to see who will be next to us. If there are little kids we ask to be moved to a different table.
