Kids don’t really want to be in places like that. They’re not built for kids, the vibe is wrong, it’s boring. That’s why they play up - out of boredom. I understand why they need to be on a plane - that’s a means to an end. But theres no need to have kids in a restaurant, especially ones that renowned for being hideously naughty. Sophie’s kids have a father, they have aunts and uncles and a grandma and a stepfather and until recently, a nanny - could she not find anyone to take care of them for one night? If I was going for a nice meal, I want to be with grownups, or at least kids who can behave. Those kids running around is my idea of hell. It’s not fair on the people at the restaurant, the staff or the kids. It’s just incredibly selfish.
