Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 70s. We have friends who are in their 40s, with two kids (6 and 4). We have gone out to lunches with the four of them, and it’s always been a bad experience. The kids tear through the restaurant and scream. It’s becoming very embarrassing. The next time they invite us, we don’t want to be in a restaurant again. We don’t want to go to their place because the wife is a hoarder and there is only one room we can sit in -- and besides, the kids still run and scream in their own home. They can come to our place, but they still tear around.
