Unfortunately, their past experiences will probably result in them raising entitled little brats.

My sister-in-law lost one, Sarah, to SIDS 22 years ago and the girl she had after that was brought up no different than the other children. With all due respect to thier college degrees and everything else they possess I think they are lazy people who can't be bother to spend the quality time with the two kids teaching the the rules. I am surprised that they haven't been asked to leave a restaurant.

Reading ahead of my post Specialist mentioned children who were challenged intellectually, these kids weren't though right? My opinon would be substantially different if that were so.

That being said, several years ago Bev and I would eat in a restaurant in E.B. many mornings out of the week. Another couple would come in many of those same mornings. They had a son whose name was Timmy. The help and everyone else nicknamed him talking Timmy. This kid never shut up. After his parents stopped replying to his incessant chatter and questions he would wander, was allowed to by parents, from table to table annoying the chit out of everyone. One fo the customers was a little old lady, cranky at times, retired old school, school teacher. After several months the retired teacher went over to the parents and spoke to them. No one ever found out what she said. The kid never bothered anyone after that. Never did thank the woman.
