Restaurant refuses to sing happy bday to 6 yr old

I think the real question here is this: What kind of parents in their right mind would take a six year old boy out to a nice dinner on his birthday???

It's easy to say the boy is spoiled, but after the whiny OP... I'd say that the parents take the cake on that one. If all the kid wanted was tacos and dog food... why not invite all his friends over, spend 15 minutes cooking up the tacos, another 5 for some margaritas for the adults, and then let the kids play xbox or with their toys. Then a whole house full of his friends would have sang Happy Birthday.

To say that this incident put a damper on the boy's birthday is ridiculous. He's 6!!! If you handed him a piece of candy or a new toy, ten minutes later... I can almost promise you that he wouldn't even remember.

Instead of deflecting blame, or disputing who at the restaurant was in the wrong... why don't the parents take some responsibility for this?? Perhaps they'll learn something for next year.
