You know that feeling when you enter a restaurant and suddenly realize that all eyes are on you? Except you aren’t a celebrity and no one wants your autograph. You just have kids. Everyone wants you to take that stroller, turn around, and march back out the door before you ruin everybody else’s meal.

And you’re like— oh hell, no. Parents and kids are allowed to eat dinner out too!!!! And then your kids start climbing on the booths and throwing french fries on the floor and you’re like, ummm…if I bury my head in my purse and tip more than the meal cost, do you think they’ll let me come back?

I haven’t been very shy about the disaster that can ensue when taking my kids out to eat. Luckily, I’m not the only one because many of you have shared your finest dining moments on #averageparentproblems. I’ve compiled my favorites as a nice reminder that I am not alone in this whole average parenting thing.
