Chuck E. Cheese’s: Where a Kid Can Watch Mom Rumble

|

Why do I feel like Paul Kix today? “Look, I read the New York Times this morning!” Only in my case, it’s the Wall Street Journal. Check out this story about how common it is for parents to come to blows in Chuck E. Cheese’s (owned by Irving-based CEC Entertainment, as I’m sure you know). This is why I’ve for years had a “No Chuck E. Cheese’s” policy. When kids have birthday parties there and invite my spawn, I explain to both invitee and inviter that Daddy don’t do Chuck E. Cheese’s. The noise, the lights, the games, the general amped-up atmosphere — it’s not good for kids. It frazzles their little brains. And now we know it has the same effect on parents, too.
