Noise Prompts Pennsylvania Restaurant to Ban Kids Under 6 - FoxNews.com



Well, I guess it's their business and if they want to do this they should be able to. Thoughts or comments?

I agree. I especially like the 2 last lines - "children might be the center of their parents' universe, as it should be. But he says they're not the center of everyone else's universe too."

Business should be allowed to sink or swim based on the customers they attract. But then again, I'm the only ex-smoker I know that does not agree with any of the smoking bans.

As a fairly new father, its fine with me. Not everyone wants to hear my little girl - whether she is laughing OR crying. Heck, we avoid "nice" restaurants unless she is having a really good day, anyway!

I wish more Restaurants would do this as well.

Your not the only one Kitty. I know of many ex-smokers who disagree with smoking bans in businesses. The owner of the business should be able to decide what is best for their own business.

Yeah, no big deal. If you have enough clients to support your target market, go for it. Just don't ban sidearms, right???

I love children or I wouldn't work in the school system. That being said, If I'm out to a nice restaurant and someone elses kids are fighting, running around or throwing a temper tantrum, a responsible parent should remove that child from the situation. However, we don't live in a perfect world. One of my kids threw a fit one time and I was out of there in a flash. They learned PDQ that mom's not messing around!

The problem is a lot of Parents do not know what it means to be a Parent...

Im of the few that is ok with that. There house their rules, There are other places to eat.

No, they can have their no firearms sign. I will not eat there and they will loose my business. If enough of the target market leave, they change or die. I can always find another place to eat.

If it wasn't for the parents of today that would rather be their child's "best friends" instead of their parents, this type of thing wouldn't be near as necessary.

My parents were of the "old school" (dad born 1908, mom 1914), and LONG before I had reached the age of 6, I knew better than to act up in public.

If I was sitting in a public place and needed a "reminder", my dad would give me a light pinch to the top of my thigh.
If I didn't take heed, the pinch got stronger until I did.
I knew better than to make any noise, cuz I knew I would be going outside and a good spankin' was coming next.
So I did the wise thing and behaved myself.

Now you know another one. Heck, on some level I want to start again just to **** off the anti-smoking contingent. But that urge is thankfully fleeting and not very strong.

As a parent of two under age 6, I wholeheartedly concur. We went out Saturday night for dinner and were reminded why it had been so long since the last time.
Difficult to enforce strictly since many parents will lie about the age of their children, but not really my problem.

 

[Dogman]

If the food is good I'd go. As others have said, too many people that are parents, shouldn't be. It's as if as long as the kids aren't bothering the parents or bleeding, the parents don't care how obnoxious the kids are being.

This is the best news ever, I hate whiny kids so much, I wish all places had that rule.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Kitty and 88GT, I am sitting here polluting the environment for you right now and enjoying the hell out of it.

If this is successful for these guys, you can bet that more independents will follow. The chain places, don't see that happening. It's not PC enough for the chain places, you may offend someone.

Well, you just have one more for me - and Thanks!

First off this is just plain W R O N G, I took my son everywhere I went. Parents need to teach their kids how to act civilize when in public. Kids should eat with there parents, the tablet is where the family all gather together. Maybe I'm just a bit old fashion

 

[sadclownwp]

I would not mind restaurants that allowed crying children, as long as you could punch the parents for not taking there children outside where they belong. But there have been times that I have let a waitress or manager know that the longer I hear children cry or whine, the smaller tips get, in hopes they would do something. I am happy to say that 2 out of 5 times, a Parent was asked to take there kid outside.
