We have officially decided that eating out with two young children under the age of 4 can be as much, if not more work, than eating at home. The service can take too long. The kid's menus can be below mediocre. And then we get home and the kids are going to bed late. We're hoping that as our children get older and learn social/table manners it might get easier. Although I still don't know if they'll eat the food as well as they do at home. As nice as it is to not have to cook, or do the dishes, it's still so much work. Making them stay in their seats while we wait for the appetizer. Then they won't eat that and we have to make them sit in their seats while they wait for their food. And on and on.
Maybe from now on we'll save the eating out for when it's just me and the hubs. That is relaxing.
(We were able to eat out with some family tonight. It was a fun time, but in reflection we just realized how much work eating out can be. We still like doing it, and had a good time tonight. It's just still a lot of work.)
