No, that’s not OK. Anywhere. It shows how they are entitled & don’t respect anyone else. Clean after your kids.

My kids are messy eaters but we certaInly do not let them throw their food. We also explain to them that what might be acceptable at home is not acceptable in a restaurant. Nothing major, stuff like reaching across a table, being too loud.

There’s a big difference between kids being a bit messy and a kid throwing food around for fun. The image shown is certainly the latter. It strikes me as odd that there are parents who would even want to encourage this behaviour. I’ve seen grown adults throw take out rubbish out if their car windows and I feel that this is the same mentality, “someone else will clean it up for me”. Really unkind.

Goodness! Your kids, your mess, clean up pls!! Even if my kids drop a spoon of rice, we always clean it up or any spills even. Leave the tissues with the used dishes to be thrown away.

  I used to clean up a mess my kids made. I still wipe down the table if I or anyone else has made a mess. It’s common courtesy. This is what happens when people aren’t made to take responsibility for their actions

Definitely not something that should be left. You’d hope they don’t leave it in their home like that but who knows.

As someone that has children and used to work in hospitality, it is extremely rude to leave a mess like that,that your children made, without attempting to clean it up. It is not the main part of a hospitality workers job to clean up messes like this. Yes they are there to bus tables and sweep up little bits of food but in all honesty they don’t get paid enough to be cleaning up almost whole meals from the floor. As an adult, at least pretend you are trying to clean up before you leave, if you aren’t going to do it for real.

This story is a reprint because someone is to bored and has no news

They should be making the effort to stop their kids from throwing the food and to clean up after them. I remember when I was a kid going out for family dinners and my 2 toddler sisters were shocking at dropping food everywhere, it was embarrassing even I would be picking up after them.

Parents picking up after themselves will create good habits in their children.

The number of people that do this and worse, ugh!!

Love how they say ‘takes one minute to sweep up stop being a sook’ …if it was so easy why are the parents not doing it lol. I hope they don’t do this when they go to people’s houses

I do baby led weaning so my 10min ti old does make a lot of mess but I alswaua try to clean everything up and bring wipes with me

Some people are so entitled, what’s wrong with the conscience and normal sense of responsibility ?!

This is unacceptable you dont let your children create and leave there mess like this

If the kids threw the food then yes an attempt to clean it up should have been made. Even if it’s not a perfect clean at least it’s a clean.

Parents need to take responsibility of their children where ever they are. Yes kids can be messy but you as a parent can control the amount of mess they make when out at restaurants, cafes or on planes. Ive always cleaned up if my kids made a mess, but most of the time my kids were neat eaters.

I taught my children better than that and wherever we go we are welcome because my children are well mannered and respectful of all, But remember you cant tell where the top is unless you can see the bottom. Nice little piggies belong on the FARM

This is not ok. Its disrespectful and rude. Yes, kids can be messy but as a parent you should be trying to minimise the mess they make and picking up after them,

My pet hate is the way everyone, adults and children, do not pick up after themselves and expect others to clean up their messes. What happened to the adage of ‘What you take into a venue, you take out again’, and put the rubbish in your own bin at home. The armies of people paid to clean up after you, and ‘Clean Up Australia’ one day a year is all wrong in my book. Everyone should be responsible for their own and their children’s mess and rubbish, not expect somebody else to clean up after you.
