  Speaker 1: I'm a mom of four kids and my mom also
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: works in food service, and I always think I wouldn't

  Speaker 1: want no one else to clean up, you know, make
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a mess and have my mom cleaned it up.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: So I make sure my kids and myself are always
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: cleaning up.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: And just a shout out to our favorite server, Jay
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: at the Prince Spaghetti House.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: He loves when we come because I am cleaning the table.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have to do with things.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: That's great.

  Speaker 7: Let's go to Ashley Online too. Ashley, you're on the air.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Hi, good morning. So the worst is when you know
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: the little kids are not only coloring on the real
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: menus because they're all done with their kid menu coloring pages.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: They're now coloring on the table and they're dumping the
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: salt and pepper into the candle holder, and they're just
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: making a mess and the parents are just smiling, not
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: even trying to pick anything out.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen it right. It's horrible.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like gentle gentle parent parenting or something. Something like that.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That wasn't like a parenting issue.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: What's leg to kids? It sounds I know, Oh my god,
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I tried my mac.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Off new allergy allergic to this segment, tar my mic Off.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: You're hearing me through Mikey's.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: It's a pure form of birth control.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: I was out at a restaurant in Oxford this weekend
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: and there was a little boy running circles around the restaurant,
• 1:30
  Speaker 8: and there was a musician playing guitar and singing, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: this boy was running and dancing and throwing toys. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: it turns out he's the line cook's son.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, to watch out for those line cooks.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: And their kids. I don't think my kids have run
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: around the restaurant.
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: It's more just them, you know, kind of not staying
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: still and moving around.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we have to make a clear difference.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And now I want to say I'm not a parent,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: but we had to take a a clear distance between
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: kids that are being kids in bad parenting, those are
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: two completely different things.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Well, bad parenting would would be not doing anything.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Exactly misbehaving right, Like like that person said that, you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: people are the kids are coloring and they're dumping out
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: salt and pepper and the parents are laughing like that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that's just bad parenting.
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and then from the other side of that as
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: as a parent of young children, and at least it
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: can identify with this too. It's like, sometimes you have days, man,
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: with the kids are just they drive you absolutely insane,
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: and they catch you in a moment where like you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: you've had enough for that day, for that weekend, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: you're just you have a bad moment you're supposed to do.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so true. It's so true. Nothing's perfect.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You're not going to be perfect as a parent every
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: single time you go out, right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: But yeah, and I see listen, I see all the
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: talk backs about you know, not giving kids devices and
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: that whole argument. I understand that that there should be
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: some you know, interpersonal communication and connection we try.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, the device thing.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I totally get what they're saying in the point where
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you have to teach your kids how to self soothe
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and to calm themselves down. But like your point, some
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: days you just want to go out to dinner, you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: bring the kids along, you don't have a babysitter, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you're gonna put an iPad in front of them because
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you and your wife want to talk.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, right, and that's just the way it is.
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: And I want to eat my food exactly, my burger, right, yeah,
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: my triple burger.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Swing crew. What a great topic.
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: I agree that if you have children you have to
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: take them out to restaurants, that you are responsible to
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: take them out if they are not capable of staying,
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: and maybe even leave the restaurant altogether. However, I want
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: to know what is going through parents' heads when they
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: are taking a toddler out to dinner at nine o'clock
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: at night and expecting them not to be throwing tantrums?
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: Why aren't they in bed?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's well again, okay, nine o'clock seems late
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: for us as Americans.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a cultural thing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: If you're from a different country, they eat dinner at
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like ten o'clock at night. And in Europe all the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: kids are out at dinner at nine ten o'clock a night.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh my god, this is so weird. This
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: would never happen in the States.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I'm so guilty of.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Why aren't they in bed after like eight o'clock? If
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I see you out, you know, I know.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, yeah, I agree, Like don't don't do that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you see kids out at like ten o'clock
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: at like Chili's or something, and I'm like, I'm there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I'm like it's late for me, Like when like that's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: why they're fussy. They're probably tired or whatever at the restaurant.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: My eyes just talk for me in that's situation.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Let's go to Darena, Hampshire. Stephanie, good morning, thank you
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: for joining. You're on the air.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Hi, good morning morning. So I have like everything that
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: you guys are saying about, like parents not like letting
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: their children just like do whatever. I had like a
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: really great experience. I went to a restaurant. It was
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: like a vegan restaurant, so you don't really normally you
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: don't see children there. But there was a family of
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: four small children and they I think probably the oldest
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: one was about eight years old, but she was having
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: a fit about not having her own plate, and the
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: mom was talking to her very gently, saying, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: you're going to be sharing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: This is what we're doing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: And you know, I finished up my meal and everything
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: and I left, but her the mom took the child outside,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: and like I had to stand there for a couple
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: of minutes and was just telling her, like in a
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: soft voice, like listen, you know you're you're a big girl.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: You can't do that kind of stuff. And like I
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: appreciated that. I thought that was like a really great
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: like parenting moment just because she wasn't allowing her child
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: to freak out in the restaurant, but also was like
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: a good teaching moment too, And I thought that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Was really awesome. It sounds like it she sounds like
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the perfect mom she was.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Doing it, and I'm assuming they went back in and
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: enjoyed their meal. And but like I thought that was
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: really like a good outtake, and like I don't have
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: children in my own, but like that's something that I
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: would do if I had my own children.
• 5:59
  Speaker 9: And I don't know.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: I just thought it was like really refreshing to see that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: It's a great call.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Stephanie. Thank you for your input on that. That was
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: really good. Yeah, that she was able to see that
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: from that parrot.
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: It's not easy when it comes out to taking out
• 6:12
  Speaker 10: children to restaurants or supermarkets or anywhere. I'm very like
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: old fashioned, old school, Like I'm a nineties girl, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: so back then when we had to go out with
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: our parents, we just had to deal with it and
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: we understood with a look. So that's the same education
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: I'm giving my kids. Yeah, we take out books, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: take all the toys that fit in their backpacks.
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: Now, Mikey, obviously your dad has passed on. I never
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: met your dad, but I feel like I know Frankie
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: talk about him, but he seems like the type of
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: dad that would give the look.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's hard headed Italian. He would give you a.
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: Look and you'd shut your mouth very quickly.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: You want the look to work. It doesn't always work,
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I rified of my parents.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Really.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I just think it was that generation, like we just
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: we knew that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I still get the look.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I still.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Probably deserved the look. Oh my god.
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: Guy.
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: So I was out to dinner one night in a
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: restaurant and there's an Indian restaurant and the family was
• 7:20
  Speaker 11: having a party there as well. The kids were running
• 7:23
  Speaker 11: riot and when I was in dinner, shoe landed on
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: my plate.
