Should I attempt it?

Brewster

MH asked if I wanted to go out to dinner and I definitely do.  I want to go to Cheesecake Factory and get a salad.  Noah did not nap today and will likely be a bear in a restaurant.  It seems like that place always takes so long.  *But* this could also be my last meal out for awhile.  It's worth it, right?

Can you go early, like 5 or so?  It shouldn't be too crowded then and then N may not be in melt down mode yet.  But, yes, you should go.  Let your H take N outside if he is being a bear.

I would get a sitter and have a nice dinner with H.

We would go around 5:30.  I think we are going to go for it.

If you can go early, I'd do it. ?Or get a sitter. ?Otherwise, I'd get takeout. ?We went out a little too late a few weeks ago with the boys, and the food took forever to get there. ?It was so not worth it.

lsufan

5:30 will probably still be early enough that it won't be too crowded, right?

Yes! Do it! Maybe just bring extra toys or something special as a "surprise" and i'm sure he'll be fine!

If we went early enough, it wasn't too bad. ?I'd do it.

I'd do takeout and bring it home.

OR you could feed Noah and put him to bed and eat Chesecake Factory at home w/ YH after he's asleep.

We often have take out from non-take out places after the kids go to bed?

Do it!! But I agree try to go early. Have fun.

After all that he slept through the entire meal on the booth.  LOL
