Not a parent but I read this and have my personal opinions, curious what others think about it.

The author admits to have let their kids, who are 2yo and 4yo roam free in restaurants to the point they have ended up in the kitchen, that right there tells you how responsible of a parent she is and how good of an approach hers is.

That's wild lol, I'd be way too embarrassed.

I'm, honestly, surprised (and thankful) those kids weren't kidnapped by now, due to this "parent" refusing to parent.

When your little brother's hand gets snatched by some wanker at a Tesco fruit isle, while your mum is at the fish counter, and tries to take him, you can tell me I'm being irrational. Until then, you have nothing to say.

Do people not have the experience of peeking into the restaurant kitchen growing up?

One year I was on an elementary school trip at this restaurant that did a little historical show along with the meal, with a lot of crowd interaction, and I got caught up in acting out my role and went into the kitchen at which point I was immediately told that was off-limits, and I never did it again.

Not the same thing as letting a 2-year-old into a kitchen though. But I definitely explored and learned what was appropriate and what wasn't as I grew up.
