Restaurant bans kids under 6 years old

With a 7month old, I support this.

I can't stand it when parents, simply don't parent. No one likes to hear kids cry or screaming in a tantrum. Nip it in the butt and do your job.

Absolutely but do you let yours get away with it?

I deal with it when it occurs. It has only occurred in a restaurant once and I promptly removed him from the establishment kicking and screaming. We sat out in the car until he could rejoin society. I didn't hit him, I didn't yell at him, I simply told him we weren't going back in until he stopped fussing and behaved himself.

He is 8 years old now and he is very well behaved in restaurants...has been for years.
 
Fantastic. A restaurant owner has the right to refuse service to anyone for pretty much any reason. They're taking a huge risk at losing more customers than they'll get or keep, but IMO it's worth it... ESPECIALLY now that it's on the news and being spread on the web.

All children misbehave from time to time. 🙄

You're right, and when they misbehave in a restaurant and are screaming, you don't just sit there and let them scream and throw a fit. You take them to the bathroom/car/parking lot/[insert other spot here] and show some consideration for others.

EDIT: I see you did remove your kid from a restaurant when he/she misbehaved. That's good but many don't and I am sure this guy got fed up.

The story of a good parent. Too bad it's not as common as it should be.

That's what? 😛
 
I wish they would do this at more places. Or at the very least start it by 9pm.
Why kind of shithead parent takes their kids out late at night? I was in a joint a few weeks ago at 11 and there were kids running around loose. Coulda snatched one of the little fuckers and I bet no one would have missed them for 30 minutes or more.

Agreed, but to expect kids to always be on their best behavior is idiotic and it seems like too many here post some of the most anti-kid shit I've ever read. I swear, the anti-kid sentiment here is almost as bad as the anti-woman sentiment.

That sounds kinda creepy like you have done it before. 😛

If people would act responsibly when their kids act up this would never be an issue. If your kid starts throwing a fit, take them out of the restaurant. Dinner is over until you can shut them up. If you can't shut them up, dinner is just over period. It's the people who are content let their kid scream in the highchair while they finish their meal or spend ten minutes unsuccessfully trying to quiet them while sitting at the table who have ruined it for the rest.

This.

If only parents took steps to discipline their children this type of rule would not be necessary. Unfortunately that is the society we live in now, and so I support the owners decision.
 
I think it's a great idea. MORE restaurants should adopt such a policy.
If you want to take your kids out to dinner...go to HomeTown Buffet...leave your kids with a babysitter if you want to go to a nicer restaurant...😛
If parents would control their kids...or if the parents would take the child out of the restaurant when the baby starts screaming...kids wouldn't be such a problem in a public setting...unfortunately, it seems like MOST people ignore their children, "Oh, they're just being children." or tune out their baby when it starts to make a loud fuss..."Babies cry. Get over it."
I don't want to hear a screaming baby when I'm at a restaurant. If yours starts to fuss, (yes, they all do that from time to time.) simply take it outside, or to the car, or the bathroom when it happens. Do NOT let your children run around the restaurant, playing on the chairs and tables, raising hell while others are trying to eat.
