'Make a Complaint Monday': Where Are YOUR Children?

I went to lunch with my friend today and had quite an experience.  We were watching our girls play in the playplace when a little boy started being REALLY, well out of control.  He was running everywhere, fighting with my friend's little girl and running UP the slide.  Well, one time when he decided to run UP the slide, another child came DOWN and they COLLIDED!  He immediately started crying and dripping blood everywhere.  His foot had gotten cut somehow.  While he exited to find his family, WHERE IS HIS FAMILY, leaving a trail of blood behind him, my friend and I tried to corral the other children AWAY from the blood.  You could tell the little girl felt horrible, but her fault?!  HECK NO!!!!!

My complaint, WHERE ARE YOUR CHILDREN!  Please, please watch them.  No matter where you are!  Don't let them go play unless you're done eating too and can watch them.  To top off the story, the dad of this boy came running in afterwards asking ME what part of the SLIDE had cut his boy.  I told him it wasn't the equipment, that HIS boy was climbing up the slide when a little girl came down.  He was not happy about that....I think trying to blame it on EVERYTHING else BUT himself!  TAKE RESPONSIBILITY PEOPLE!  The restaurant took my friend and I's info in case they have a complaint.  I am HAPPY to take the restaurant's side on this occassion.

agree agree agree...I was so judgmental before I had kids....and I'm still judgmental now. Watched a mom at the park yesterday who kept screaming at her kids from a distance to be nice as they pushed other kids, but she never bothered to stop playing on her phone and walk over. And her kids never bothered to stop pushing. Figures.
