If they're not sitting in their seat and being kept in check by their parents, they're being disruptive to me.

I've seen wait staff have to dodge children or almost trip over them. I'm not a parent, but it should not be that hard to keep your children in their seats. If you can't, take them outside for a break.

Exactly. The "kids will be kids" statement is bullshite to me. Kids can be disciplined and taught how to act.

I always chuckle when I hear people say "kids will be kids". "Yet at some of the chinese take out places I go, the kids are sitting unsupervised, doing homework, and being quiet while the parents work.

we have a local burger place that has a little play area set up for kids right beside the bar/patio area

its awesome

mom and dad can sit, drink, relax while the kids play with other kids away from everyone, but still in eyesight

That's because when they're done with their homework, they have a shift from 5-11pm washing dishes.

Lots of legit places have this going on.


It's a sign of quality in the kitchen.

I can't think of very many. I'm sure the parents take them home and find "creative" ways of disciplining them though.

I loved a lot of things about Germany, but one was definitely the de facto "kids are meant to be seen and not heard" policy. People would tell parents to take their screaming brats home in a second. And that goes for restaurant staff and other patrons.

Chuck E. Cheese is going to start selling alcohol, so expect this to worsen there.

Drunk, entitled, douchebag parents with their silly little spawns running around. No thanks.

Sounds like those parents don't care if/when their kids get molested.

What kind of restaurant we talking about? I generally let my kids be mobile (not intrusive) at places like Chic Fil A or a non-busy Jason's. If the restaurant has a waiter/waitress, my kids are in their seats.

Give the kids all the sugar packets from your table. Let their parents deal with the fall out.

frick off. I have to deal with my kids all damn day, so when I go out to eat, they're going to be your problem, not mine. Put your fat face back in your never-ending breadsticks and salads and shut up.
