Far from receiving sympathy or causing outrage against the restaurant, the mother’s video elicited an avalanche of critical comments, ranging from informative feedback to insults and claims that she was, in their opinion, “yet another entitled Karen.”
“Unpopular opinion? Your kids need to be able to stay at the table to take them to a restaurant. If they haven’t mastered that yet they are not ready to go to a restaurant,” one user wrote.

One particular viewer, claiming to be a former waitress, explained how a kid not being able to remain in their seat is not a minor annoyance, but a serious safety hazard that could put both the kid and others in danger.
“Did you bring him coloring books etc at all?” the waitress asked. “It’s not up to us to dodge your kid when working.”
“If he is not able to stay seated, don’t bring him to the restaurant,” another wrote. “Go to restaurants with play areas for children or so.”
The restaurant issued a statement, explaining that the mother left on her own after feeling offended

A representative of the restaurant—the restaurant’s owner’s child—addressed the controversy in an interview with local media. According to them, it wasn’t a matter of the kid being loud or annoying other customers, but of safety.
