The kid probably would have been better off at home with a babysitter. She probably would have been happier watching that DVD on the TV at home, wearing comfortable clothes and munching on pizza and popcorn.

However, it can be very difficult to find a reliable babysitter, especially on a weekend night. Perhaps the parents couldn't find someone, or their babysitter bailed at the last minute, so they had to bring their daughter along or not go out at all. At least they gave her a quiet activity (I assume the DVD player had headphones?) to keep her entertained.

What I cannot stand, is when parents bring ill-behaved small children to nice restaurants and then let them run around shrieking like little maniacs while pretending not to notice that their "little angels" are disrupting other diners.
