It's good for their upbringing to make choices on their own though. God forbid parenting requires some time. Lol some of y'all crack me up.Is being extremely time-inefficient part of giving your kids some choices

I hope mods asked if he wanted to be banned before they did it anyway.
Just sort of seems a silly thing to get worked up about. Kids are kids, no point getting upset about it.No, he/she is not now. OP still has kids ordering for themselves and now hes got one less place to bitch about it.
My 3 year old is an extremely picky eater and knows exactly what she wants, my 2 year old is pretty cool with everything but fish and my 12 year old is all about that vegan life.
Kids aren't as stupid as you think they are. Try to order for them and see how fast it backfires.
I tried that once with my youngest son and he immediately spit it out and gave me a what the fuck fam face.I just call fish chicken and my kids will usually eat it if they dip it in ketchup.

That was brilliant sir. I tip my hat to you :)Scene: OP at a restaurant
Time: Evening
OP is sitting at the table, patiently waiting for a waiter to come by. He feels the stale breadsticks they left him. "What terrible service" he thinks to himself, eyeing what appears to be a unit of people with little kids. The waiter stops by this table first, ignoring the OP.
Waiter: Hello welcome to Fudd Ruckers! Are you guys ready to order!
The OP watches as the family orders one by one, many of them still daring to browse through the menus. In unabated breath, the OP says, audible to himself and anyone a foot from him:
OP: Man I sure wish I got service! I don't even have kids, don't have time for that!
OP takes a crunch out of a stale breadstick, mindfully chewing at his piece. He bit the piece with the most seasoning, his favorite. He discarded the rest of the breadstick in the basket, along with the other half-bitten breadsticks. He didn't have time to finish any of them. The family is almost done ordering, and they get to the last two children.
Waiter: And what do you little dudes want to get?
Boy: Uhm. Uhhm. Uhmm.
Girl: Uhhhhhhhh I want... um I want...I want..
Father: Come on Jimmy and Jane, tell the happy man what you want
Boy: Can I, can I, can I, can I, can I...he motions to a picture in the menu. At this point OP has had enough.
OP: Speaking slightly higher- Order for your damn kid
Seemingly nobody heard him.
Girl: Can I get uhm...a burger......
OP: THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME.
Nobody heard OP despite raising his voice by 2 decimals. This was a restaurant after all.
Waiter: Take your time guys ;)
OP: THIS IS A TRAVESTY
The breadsticks trembled under the OPs time-saving argument.
Boy: Ok can I uhmm but can you uhmm Burger?
OP: FOR FUCKS SAKE
In a fit of anger OP stands up with such force that the breadstakes launch off the table. He marches over to the table with the family, his dinner ruined.
OP: ORDER FOR YOUR KIDS. STOP WASTING MY TIME. THIS IS MY TIME. MINE. YOU STUPID KIDS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. YOU'RE STUPID. AND YOU'RE KIDS. WAITER I DEMAND YOU SERVICE ME NOW, I'M A PAYING CUSTOMER WHO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT!!
And everyone started clapping. They stood up, and started clapping for the OP. Atleast, that's how the OP saw it as the police came and placed him in handcuffs for disturbing the peace.
Officer: You have the right to re-
OP: THE KIDS! THE KIDS WOULDN'T ORDER! IT WAS THE KIDS FAULT NOT ME! THEY'RE A TIME WASTER!
OP got banned for this thread lmao what a weird thing to complain about
i can't imagine how this inconveniences you in any way
Or you could just present them with Paragon and Renegade options.
That's exactly where my head went. I work in the industry and I feel OP's pain, but no matter what parents do it will always suck to have kids at a table. Always.
if that's what you want to eat might as well just make it at home though
Are you the person who goes to a bar and orders a glass of milk?
wtf lol hahahhahYou take them to restaurants? I thought you parents just slapped them in the face with slices of cheese.
Some parents like to foster independence early so their kids can make their own decisions twenty years later. Not a big deal, and a minor annoyance at best.Is being extremely time-inefficient part of giving your kids some choices
Ahh yeah if they catch you lying then you're done for. lol.I tried that once with my youngest son and he immediately spit it out and gave me a what the fuck fam face.
It is actually. A restaurant isn't a bank, you aren't there to conduct business. You're there to eat and relax. If you need to eat quick, get take out.Is being extremely time-inefficient part of giving your kids some choices
Is there a reason so much toxicity towards kids pops up on this board every so often? Why do you even give a fuck about parents that let their kids pick what they want to eat?
