"Thing is, when I pay for a \"nice\" \"high-end\" meal, I want to relax and enjoy it. If I'm full-time monitoring my kid's behaviour, then I cant. If I'm leaping up to take the kid to the porch to blow off steam, I'm losing the flow of the meal. Since not full-time monitoring my kid's behaviour makes it likely that folks at other tables cant relax and enjoy their meals, I cant have the kid present and not monitor. Therefore the kid stays home on these occasions, which makes my life easier, if more expensive. \n"
