I haven't posted in a while but felt I needed to after that appalling video of Alf! God almighty Ashley, he's THREE! He is an infant!
If you think him sitting on his own quite a distance from his parents in a busy restaurant is "living his best life" there's something mentally wrong with you. Why would a three year old not want to be near his parents?! My partner's family member has a two and a half year old and she'll start to whine and eventually cry if her Mum suddenly goes out of her sight and she's a very independent and strong willed child!
Even if for some reason Alf wanted to sit away from them, it's dangerous Ashley!! You tell him no because it's not safe. There are bad people in this world unfortunately and they can snatch children in a blink of an eye! All it takes is a single minute of you being distracted! Not to mention he could fall off his chair or potentially choke and you're far enough away you won't be able to act quickly enough!
Plonking him there is also basically expecting the underpaid staff to watch him for you which isn't their job. And to say you both did it for "peace" and to connect?! Absolutely unbelievable. If you want to connect without kids get a babysitter (or NNB!) Or yknow, maybe don't have kids if you're going to do this!!
I guess it's terrible us horrid trolls care about the welfare of your children![Woman shrugging :woman_shrugging: 🤷♀️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f937-2640.png)
