Me too. Once or twice with my kids was more than enough. They would ask but I could tell they weren’t serious.
We have four kids, all grown now. They were expected to act well in public. Generally they did. When they were young, they ate messy as toddlers do. We made sure to leave a commensurate tip. They never were allowed to yell or leave their chairs and run around.
When we were kids, we had to behave——to go to A & W & EAT INSIDE THE CAR !!!!
