How are you going to do this?

The manager would do it. If you are disruptive enough, you'd get
kicked out. It happens.


I would like to see it happen. We would sit, eat our meal and pay our
check.

As I said (and you seem to have snipped)
Some adults need to learn tolerance just as much as some children need to
learn what is tolerable.

You're the epitome of Entitlemoo. Inconvenience the entire universe
because you have an uncontrollable brat. Nice.

You know ... you really should learn to read ...

Who said anything about "disruptive enough"??? You obviously have a
low tolerance for noise in a Family restaurant.

Uhm no. Her child has a disability. That you judge her as an
uncontrollable brat speaks volumes about you.

ah ... s'ok.
I can see we are having a battle of wits w/ an unarmed person.
BTDT.

Then KEEP your little ****-stains at Chuck E. Cheese. But nooooo - you
don't HAVE to.

LOL And sometimes it can be. What most people do not understand is the
parent with the screaming kid is praying that the wait staff will bring the
check RIGHT NOW. We get out of the habit of all eating at the table from
time to time, and when we do the kids do awful eating out. The more we eat
at the table the better they do eating out.


Yeah, the way I see it, there are family restaurants. If someone
doesn't want to deal with noisy kids, then stay home.

Nan

No they go to enjoy your extended udder and enjoy a "Happy Ending".

I will never forget getting a hairy eyeball for nursing my baby in a
*Friendly's* for heaven's sake. Come on! No one goes there for the cusisine!

You shouldn't even be allowed ON the bus you ill-mannered cow.

I don't know if the waiter had lost a bet or what, but one night we were
at
Dixie Cafe (a definite family-style restaurant) and every single table in
one section had a child below the age of 3, many of them with older
preschoolers as well-and this was a section which was sort of separated
from
the main seating area. Actually, it sort of reminded me of
smoking/non-smoking, except that it was more like "crying/non-crying". And
it was great! No glares about toddlers being toddlers, sure there was some
fussiness at various times, but every family knew that they could be next,
so no problems there, breastfeeding perfectly fine, and lots of toddlers
entertaining each other between tables.

Meanwhile, in the other section, the other diners were pretty well
separated
from baby/toddler land, so presumably they could enjoy their meal, too.

I have had this happen too .. but it really bugs me. It's too "back of the
bus" for me. If I feel as though the seat we are shown isn't appropriate
for some reason (it seems that I always end up getting seated right under
the a/c or under a speaker. I have a hearing issue and neither one works for
me) I'll look around and request to be seated in the most appropriate
place.

Learn to control your little retard.

My daughter has a disability and not a disability that everyone can see. If
she has issues in a public area, I will remove her from that public area if
it benefits her. I'm not going to remove her from an area that she is
legally permitted to be in for any other reason, even if that means she is
"disrupting" someone else. Some adults need to learn tolerance just as much
as some children need to learn what is tolerable.

I can see your brat’s retardation is hereditary.

Okay. I need to ask. I don't watch TV, so I don't see the ads; and I
keep kosher, so I don't eat at Fridays.

They don't *really* have a *Happy Ending* sundae, do they? Do they,
ummmmm, ahhhhh, know what a "happy ending" in the adult world?

Barbara (with an admittedly dirty mind)



They do. It is a happy ending to a meal. And I, for one, can kinda guess
what it is but have never heard the expression.

This has happened to me without complaint. I like it actually. My kids are
really well behaved in restaurants because they like them. The know how to
behave and if they can't, we leave. That said, on a recent vacation trip, it
was restaurant or nothing after a long car ride with two tired yet revved up
kids. They were still well behaved, yet it took more effort on our part. And
it was a bit of a relief to know if they slipped a little, we'd only be
bothering the family with the yammering 18mo next door.

Now some people have spoken to unsatisfacoty seating, well a restaurant that
seats ANYONE in that kind of seating is a restaurant that I would not return
to with my hard earned money.

Really, more restaurants should do this - have a family section.

I phoned a restaurant recently that we had never been to before to ask of
children were welcome. The host or whatever did not really know what I
meant. He said we have things on the menu that children might find appealing
yadda yadda. I said no that's not what I mean. Do children and families
frequent the restaurant enough that this is the kind of place where other
patrons expect it? Or are the patrons looking for their relaxed, quiet,
romantic dinner? He paused for a minute and said "No one has ever asked me
that before." He then tried to very graciously tell me it was really the
latter without telling me we were unwelcome. And thanked me profusely for my
concern....

I think that some people assume that everywhere is appropriate for their
children if *they* want to go.
