As the mom of not only the furry and feathered types, but also the "skin" type, I am appalled when people allow their children to disrupt a nice meal too!!! Helen never got that far in a restaurant. One or the other of us always took her outside if she got too agitated. It gave us indigestion too!! Thankfully, she learned about proper behavior at an early age, so she didn't disrupt too many meals!!!

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I've certainly experienced the exact same thing, and like you, it infuriated me!!!
