I lost a friend after she and her husband made fun of me for saying I got stressed taking my 3 kids out to eat. Two of my three were toddlers at the time, and one had autism. Dining out was a nightmare due to sensory overload, picky eating, a child climbing under the table and crying, etc. I was a single parent so there wasn't another adult there to help manage the situation.

I vented on FB thinking other parents might relate. Instead, this "friend" ripped apart my parenting with her husband and bragged about how they've never had any issues taking their kids out to dinner.
