To have walked out of the restaurant

I had been at a play area with my kids and when we went to sit down it was a booth. My kids immediately started bickering about who’s food was whose and which drink belonged to who and I’m trying to get them to just shuffle down a bit so I can sit down. They weren’t listening to me at all. Eventually I was going to blow and stepped outside.

So you just left them kicking off with other people having to deal? If theyre misbehaving then parent them or take them home.

They are 5 and 3.

Did the kids leave with you? If not who kept an eye on them? How old are the kids?

You left them behind?

You mean you walked out and left your bickering kids alone in the restaurant? No that's obviously not okay.
