Nothing worse than having some brat screaming all through the meal - would happily go to his restaurant

What ???? You would forego eating dinner with one hand while the baby vomits on your shoulder ????

Naw....I took em in as soon as they could open their eyes. I figured "Why should I care? I'm taking my wife and daughter to dinner. What business is it of theirs?"
It's my family you know. If the other diners don't like that, then they can go elsewhere.

I just saw in the news that the restruant right across the street from this guy's place has a big sign outside saying< " CHILDREN 6 AND UNDER WELCOME!" I think this will be very interesting!

Good news David.
I'm waiting for Mr. Posh Restauranteur across the road to go broke, or else lose so much business that he'll change his mind quick smart.
Serves him right. Our children are the future, how dare he treat them that way.

My mom and dad took my whole family out to dinner for their anniversary. A friend from church had told my mom about a local restaurant that had a playroom set up for kids. It was a nice restaurant and it really did have a playroom at the ready. My youngest nieces were probably 4 or 5 at the time. My mom had brought new crayons and coloring books for them, but the playroom was set up with lots of neat things. They loved it, we could see them from our table, and the whole thing turned out great. Some are just more family-friendly than others.

There are family-friendly restaurants. And the one restaurant owner who has banned kids will have a more adult clientele that will appreciate the quiet.


A friend of mine posted this on Facebook - he works in a car dealership and parents can REALLY show a lack of parenting there - he doesn't know who the original quote came from, but I think it applies here:

Your children may be the centre of your universe but they ain't the centre of THE universe.
