    I'm thinking there is an Aussie around here they may want to refuse to serve too.

    As a mother of a 16 month old I agree with this. I would not be upset if a restaurant did not allow my child, I would go elsewhere. He is pretty well behaved, but as anyone knows, a 16 month old can be quite unpredicable in the behavior department. My husband and I chose our restaurants carefully and go to ones that are more family friendly when he is with us. There is a time and place for everything and that time and place doesn't always involve children, and unruly ones at that.

    Probably. You might fall under the category of children?

    Well... Some restaurants are more appropriate for families than others. I don't think I'd take young children to Charlie Trotter's or Les Nomades. But at the same time there are good choices for families with kids -- most of the Lettuce Entertain You spots, the Cheesecake Factory or most of the restaurants on Navy Pier. I'd be disappointed if I didn't see families with children having fun at a place like that.

    Some ideas..............

    Cages For Children.
    These are especially handy if you'd like that quiet night out or perhaps that two week holiday in the Carribean. They are also good for those yuppies on a Sunday morning while sucking down orange juice and croissants and reading the obituaries.




    The Portable Baby Cage.
    Made especially for your own little Prince or Princess, and ready to be thrown onto the back of your pickup. Good for those Saturday afternoon booze parties or wife swap meets.




    Rope, Chain and Barbed Wire Leash's
    No more chasing playful children around parks or in the supermarket.
    Good energy saver for parents.






    Restaurants With Light-Wells
    Somewhere to put your children whilst you enjoy your wine and nibblies in peace. Yes Legislation should require all restaurants to have at least one.


    Failing that....well you could always just adopt them out.

    For you parents wanting a night out without kids around.. now that Casey Anthony's getting out of jail this weekend, she'll probably be available for babysitting!

    In my much younger days, there were several occasions where a child was screeching or having a real tantrum - and it reminded me that I hadn't taken my birth control pill that day....

    Jack and Jill went up the hill
    To fetch a pail of water
    Jill forgot to take the pill
    And now she's got a daughter.
