Letters to the Editor, June 13

Thanks Mr. Moeller for your valuable opinion. Too bad you were never a kid.

A parent deserves a night out once in a while. Sometimes you can get a babysitter, other times you can't.

What can you do? Enjoy a little time away from life at a decent dinner or a movie, go to the theater or sit at home and stew in miserableness?

I've taken my son, now 16-months old, out to eat and I feel awful when he starts to act up. I don't really know what to do. I can't really discipline him too much. He doesn't know what's going on.

I hate not being able to control those types of situations, but that's just me, I'm a control freak.

But Charles Moeller, of Wichita Falls, whoever you are, pipe down. So you had a crappy meal adjacent to two parents who didn't want to make their night out about jerking a knot in their kids' tales.

Get over it. I can't believe you actually wrote a letter to the editor expressing your unhappiness.

Politics, sports, local heroics - all three topics are popular in letters to the ed, but you chose to go ranting about the state of parenting at a local eatery.

Maybe next time you can complain to the manager and get a free discount from the restaurant for not having police-parenting policies in place.

Would you rather have kids screaming at a restaurant, or some knuckleheads running around at 2 a.m. doing God knows what?

Your choice.
