I completely agree. Completely. I am a mom of two children and I know it's tough following through. I know it's tough to know what to do in a possible melt down situation. I know it's infuriating to deal with cranky, complaining, snotty little beasts that I really do love with every inch of my heart. Here's my secret to maintaining a somewhat peaceful family: Eating out is a privilege. And it's not just eating out. Toys are a privilege, dessert is a privilege, favorite foods are privileges, getting your way is a privilege. Parents, can we please tune in a realize that giving our kids whatever they want, whenever they want it is not doing anyone any favors, especially our children. Someday they'll grow up and have to buy their own privileges and those little children need to understand that you really can't always get what you want.
