sometimes I wonder if it's the kids that piss me off or the inconsiderate parents who are more worried about "their right" to be in establishment rather then everyone elses desire to not be bothered.

my kids both got smacked once pretty good. both then knew "the look" meant shut the hell up or we will leave right now. food or no food. I had to leave once with the older boy. he went to bed hungry and got the point.

I'm not a huge fan of spanking. growing up my ass busted more wooden spoons then I care to remember.

i still think parents should be considerate enough to realize their child is the problem in the establishment, not the other people looking at them.

Culture of entitlement: Everyone is now firmly convinced that they're entitled to certain things, forgetting that perks come with responsibilities. Everyone is now an overgrown 3 year old.

I love the "but some parents consider the move discriminatory, and potentially a violation of rights for certain special needs kids." - A restaurant can serve or not serve whomever they choose.

Hell, I HAVE a kid and I'd go there to eat (obviously without the kid )

There is no discrimination. They're banning ALL children below age 6. It's a very inclusive exclusion.

me too. me and wifey had a nice fight about this many years ago. her niece used to wander to other peoples tables and climb around or talk to them, thye all thought it was cute and did nothing about it. I felt otherwise. if I am out at eating I dont want your kids bothering me while I eat, even if at a fast food type place. her SIL is kinda useless as a parent which explains why her and her brother are fuckups and are like wannabe ghetto wiggers

Well, sort of... They can't say, "Keep yer autistic kid at home," but it seems a huge stretch to say that a simple "screaming won't be tolerated" sign falls under the umbrella of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

And banning kids altogether sure doesn't either, unless kids are now a protected disability class. I'd totally respect a place that says "no kids." I can take my son there when he's old enough. No big deal.
