However allowing said children run around unrestrained, scream like little banshees, and kick the back of their booths repeatedly is definitely not. In such cases, I think the management is well within their rights to ask that family to leave. <br /><br />BTW, I would like to see a ban on cell phone usage in restaurants. I go to restaurants to enjoy a meal and engage my husband or friend in pleasant conversation. I do not go to listen to loud mouth diners discussing business, the ex-spouse's bad habits, politics, or other unpleasant topics with people who aren't even there. The only people who should have a cell on in a restaurant is a doctor or other emergency services people, like EMTs.crownringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18091550580924650465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-38898757598325845352011-08-10T11:22:31.043-05:002011-08-10T11:22:31.043-05:00I think so many parents are afraid to discipline t...I think so many parents are afraid to discipline their own children and the child seems to call the shots.<br />Every kid has an occasional meltdown but take the kids to family oriented restaurants and if they misbehave, remove them...leave. Some kids need to know their parents mean business.<br />If a restaurant bans kids though, I probably wouldn't go there. Probably too hoity toity for my budget anyway.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-30187557995401233282011-08-10T08:51:26.554-05:002011-08-10T08:51:26.554-05:00I am happy to hear that a restaurant is able to ma...I am happy to hear that a restaurant is able to make its own decisions that may or may not affect its business. I think they should be allowed to do the same thing for smoking. I personally hate smoking and wouldn't go into a restaurant if I knew I had a non-smoking option. The same should be said for kids, or teens, or where does the distinction end. In the end, the market will determine the success of their decision.jrchaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858326373606903797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-71091537000403288542011-08-10T08:21:00.839-05:002011-08-10T08:21:00.839-05:00I think it's a reflection on the parents. We ...I think it's a reflection on the parents. We took our kids to restaurants when they were young and we taught them how to behave. I only recall one incident where one of our kids was really unruly.<br /><br />My opinion is parents should be responsible enough to discipline their children. And, if they are getting out of hand to remove them from the situation, respecting the other diners. I do <b>not</b> approve of restaurants banning all children under a certain age and would probably boycott such a restaurant.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035489123868573312noreply@blogger.com
