What if they took their black-n-one-sugar in a sippy cup?

I fucking HATE those goddammed things!! When I see a kid, usually waaaaay too old to have one anyway, toting around one of those things I just want to slap it out of their mouth. And then slap the stupid parent who is the enabler of such ridiculous inventions.
How'd any of US ever survive without those things?

That, and I also despise the very name, "sippy cup". My 4 y/o nephew STILL drinks out of "sippy cups", which I think is ridiculous. How can kyds ever learn how to drink out of a glass like a normal human being?

The best answer here is not prohibition of select items ordered, but rather to either CONTAIN the child by crating it in a pac n play, SECURE it in a baybee carrier or high chair, and/or TEACH it from a very early age to keep it's fucking hands to itself.

Why can't these stupid people see that regardless of what is on the table, that it's all a potential hazard to the kyd as well as the others who are seated with it? Salt and pepper shakers in the cluthes of a toddler can become dangerous projectiles, eating utensils in the talons of a kyd can poke out an eyeball(his or someone else's) Ketchup/sauce bottles can be broken and people can be cut, hot food/soup/side dishes can be pulled off into laps, and miniature butters and jellies in the paws of a small child can become choking hazards. The best answer here is not prohibition of select items ordered, but rather to either CONTAIN the child by crating it in a pac n play, SECURE it in a baybee carrier or high chair, and/or TEACH it from a very early age to keep it's fucking hands to itself.

I waited tables for years and I cannot even tell you how many times I dealt with moomies and their overprotective, drama queen bullshit. I kid you not - sometimes just walking with a coffee pot several feet away from the table, I would see the moomy dramatically shield her baby from me, as if I was some mean, bad monster coming to dump scalding coffee on her fucking kid.
Oh, and this is on a slightly related note, I forgot to mention how much I hated people who came in assuming that we provided crayons and coloring books for their brats. So, you're pretty much saying that you cannot or will not control your kids for the 15 minutes that it takes your food to come to the table. I am so sick of the catering to kids and their useless parents that goes on these days. The parents would always be so annoyed with us for not having crayons. Why do you just assume that everyone is going to have what you want for your brats? So many times they would demand I bring them pens and paper from the manager's office. Unfortunately, near the time I left that place and moved on to better things, the restaurant started providing crayons and coloring books. Ridiculous that a company has to waste money on this crap. Bring your own if you want it!
