I don't, read above
No, you said you don't eat out at all.
Which is completely different from avoiding the sorts of places kids are most likely to eat.
Like I said, your loss.

They probably wouldn't hear me over all the screaming childrenDouble bonus: no-one has to listen to your moaning while they are eating...
Very considerate of you
I don't eat out.
Main reason among others, is other people's annoying children.
Not my loss at all, as it's something I don't enjoy.
No, that's just one reason.But you'd enjoy eating out if it wasn't for kids?
So maybe avoid Harvester-type restaurants, or maybe go out a bit later?
I wouldn't dream of going to a Harvester type anyway, dreadful places with crap food
We also have family and friends round more and everyone is more relaxed and sociable than if you're going out.
I don't, but there's nothing stopping people taking their kids into anywhere.So, come on then, because I'm intrigued.
What sorts of restaurants do you go that kids are a problem?
Because we eat out a fair bit, and we can easily identify restaurants more likely to have kids than others.
It's not a super-power.
I've always wondered if that's a cultural thing? Indian people love entertaining and the more the merrier but I find only two of our white friends will regularly attend, the others always make excuses, so much so I've given up asking. Yet many of the same people are keen on entertaining people at home but only one couple at a time. Also I'm surprised at how formal some of them are, they're very casual and informal when we go out somewhere but if invited round to their hoouses, it's all starched collars and please 'parse' the port.I'm the complete opposite, any sort of social gathering in someone's house has me reaching for the book of excuses.
I need to be 'out', any form of house party/meal has me pacing around their house like a caged animal.
My friends find it funny when we sometimes go round to their houses prior to going out.
I will wear out their carpet looking outside for the taxi.

No not that, although I'm sure Indians do like curryBecause he likes curry?
Oh Dear...
You could always go into the garden, assuming your host has one.I've tried to analyse my dislike of house-based events, and I can only put it down to the fact that I feel 'cheated'.
Cheated in the sense that I want to be out and about, not house-bound.
I agree harvester and other chain food is disgusting, worse than café food.. play gym food is rank as well...No, that's just one reason.

Have you been round to the MIL then, it's very droll listening to the mother hen regaling tales of her partying with Mick jagger et al in the seventies or how she attended her friends wedding who also happens to be a London starlet... With the rest of the muppets guffawing away, me and the wife just roll our eyes, I wolf my food down and go in the sitting room with the kids and keep out of the way...Also I'm surprised at how formal some of them are, it's all starched collars and please 'parse' the port.
