I am so glad that Indiana still has a law that doesn't allow people under 21 in bars. While I feel bad that older kids can't go out to eat with parents because I would love to take my DD out with us because she is 19, but it does keep misbehaving kids out. I keep seeing posts where people want to bring toddlers to bars and I always think why? There are plenty of restaurants that kids would love, why would you take them to a bar where they will be bored?
Another thing I hate is when people say you have to take kids out to eat so they learn to behave. No, you teach them how to behave at home and then they know how to behave when they go out. We always ate at the table, where you stayed in your seat, kept your hands to yourself, used inside voices and good manners. If you learned to do this at home, you can take your kids to a restaurant. You also can't take a child out when they are tired. If they are tired, get carry-out and take it back with you. It really isn't the rocket science people seen to make it out to be.
