Parents of the World: Your iPhone is not a pacifier. Your iPad is not a blankie. If you can\u2019t figure out that your little thing keeps talking because it is unhappy because it\u2019s being made to sit through the loud movie you\u2019ve been dying to see (and DISTURBING EVERYONE IN THE THEATER), you aren\u2019t fit to be a parent. And if I see another portable DVD player while I\u2019m eating at a nice restaurant, I\u2019m going to up-end your table. I\u2019m sorry you chose to burden yourselves with a small thing that cries, screams, and wiggles a lot, but that was your choice and now you have to make some sacrifices. And sacrifices mean that if you can\u2019t get a babysitter, you may not be able to go to that new Thai place that opened up last month. Bringing the ankle-biter and sticking a DVD in front of it doesn\u2019t make your child any more pleasant to be around \u2013 and having to listen to the DVD play is NOT what I\u2019m looking for while I\u2019m trying to eat with my friend. If your kid is at that stage where they don\u2019t enjoy eating out, guess what? Too. Damn. Bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
