This is bullstuff, why would they want to ban children from restaurants?

Not all children act up you know.

Not all kids are bad, Just most!

I wouldn't care, i don't let little kids ruin my dining experience

If they want a certain atmosphere, they can't have any kids acting up, and can't be asking people to calm them down or leave.

Restaurants are not public services. As private businesses, they have the right to be exclusive.

of course this isn't directly related to the exact issue of whether they should. but I'm not sure what to think of it.

i greatly support this.
in fact forget >=6, ban >=12yos

i cant even count the number of times i am being seated and i have to request not to be near loving kids.

I pretty much agree with some of this, I don't mind children around the restaurant, but what loving bugs me when they don't shut the forget up, when they're screaming/talking loudly.

You're just saying that because you're not a kid.
How would you like to be mature and not idiotic and be kicked out because you're 12?

My parents never had to do this because everywhere we go the kids we see act maturely; your hometown/city/whatever must have the stuff forgeted out of it.

lol if i had said forget kids =>11 you wouldnt be so upset. buyt look at you crying like the 12yo you are.

you arent a citizen yet. you are just the pet of a parent somewhere. your place is to deal with it.

No because my sister is 10 and I care about her, plus

Yep, I sure am crying!
My post doesn't even look like I am crying, what the forget.

I'm the youngest one an I'm 14 so I don't really care. Plus were usually in the smoking area (if they have one) If not then he usually try to stay away from sitting by other people.

If you want to have a loving family dinner, take them to a family restaurant

I agree with the ban

[Skip]

I agree with this.

If they're fancy restaurants, I can understand that.
Who wants to pay ~50 dollars per person to sit through an hour of listening to an undisciplined toddler scream?
Hell, even in less "fancy" restaurants nobody would want to deal with them.

I agree with this.
