Should expensive restaurants prevent parents from bringing babies and toddlers when they come to dine, I have experienced an evening when a young couple had obviously planned a special evening looked like he was going to propose only to be seated next to a couple with a crying baby and a toddler throwing a tantrum, I believe if you can afford a $400 meal you can afford a baby sitter don’t ruin every one else’s night

I agree if they can afford a very expensive meal they can afford a babysitter for a few hours. I do find parents of young child very inconsiderate of other people's enjoyment and generally never think about their rudeness, inappropriateness or the inconvenience they cause others. A bit of forward planning and thought would improve social interactions for sure.
