A woman recently wrote into Oprah’s magazine, O, looking for advice on a topic that I found interesting. Basically, she and her family have a favorite restaurant and it just opened a section within the restaurant that is especially for families. The woman likes to go out to eat with her kids but apparently she doesn’t want to go out to eat in a room with everyone else’s kids.

She thinks the restaurant is wrong for implementing this room for families. What do you think? I can tell you what the expert, Faith Salie, at O thinks.

Salie simply told the woman that the restaurant is allowed to have this policy-whether it’s right or wrong. It’s their restaurant; they make the rules. And Salie pointed out that probably every parent at the restaurant thinks that their own child is fabulous even though others might not agree. Salie’s solution-which I thought was great-was to keep that favorite restaurant for date nights so she and her husband can enjoy their dinner…for two.
