One of the hottest threads in quite a while was our discussion a couple of weeks ago about who is responsible for the way kids behave in restaurants. The story in today's Sunday M section in The CA contains some of your comments, plus some insight from restaurateurs and other folks who deal with this issue a lot. (Be sure to check out Dining with Monkeys, Stacey Greenberg's hilarious blog about eating out with her kids, who are WAY better behaved than the monkeys in the picture.) My bottom line -- most people try to teach their kids to behave in restaurants, and we all probably need to cut kids a little more slack.

Did you see the story last week about the family from Boston who got kicked of an airplane because their daughter wouldn't get in her seat? What do you think -- justified, or an overreaction on the airline's part?
