Kids are fat enough without stuffing their gobs while in the car. Get out
and walk their fat asses to a table.

Most newer seats are perforated for comfort's sake. This makes for a lot of
trouble when stuff is spilled on them. God help you if one of those
ankle-biters spills milk on the seats. The smell never goes away.

Actually, my son has Autism, and is quite a challenge to control. Giving
him food or drink while in the vehicle helps calm him and provides us with
some leverage to offer him rewards for improved behavior. My 2-year old
daughter is typical, and my wife is attractive and full of patience for
dealing with people who are insensitive and boorish about our situation.
She would forgive you instantly for your crass assumptions and smarmy
comments.

I on the other hand would be more likely to break your nose if you said
those things to my face.

Unlikely - I think you rather enjoyed it. I hope you'll rethink these kind
of comments in the future.

Are you capable of answering a question without coming across like a judgmental
prick? If so, please do so.

No excuses for the unsavory comments directed to your wife and children, but
I doubt anyone really intended any personal insults warranting fisticuffs.
All in all, this is a remarkably civil group of folks. That said, you did
invite some light-hearted spouse and progeny bashing with an opening line
like, "I am cursed with children, who's mother insists on feeding them and
giving them fluids on occasion." Boys will be boys, and you can't have a
high expectation of civil behavior in such an impersonal forum.

Please re-read thread genius.

A rather innocuous question about seats inspired you to comment on the physical
attributes of someone's children. THAT is being judgmental. Do you know the man?
His wife? His children? What made you feel qualified to call his kids fat asses
because they may have something to eat in the car? Did you ever eat in the car?
Do you have a fat ass? See how much we don't know about each other yet are so
quick to throw out rather nasty comments?

My calling you a prick because you acted like a prick was being observant, not
judgmental.

Get the difference.

No go behave yourself.
