    Well then get your shit together.
    Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in a shit museum, I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together.
    Get your shit together

    A claim of ageism has reared its ugly head and I have this to say: children have not reached the age of majority and don't have all of the rights of adults. Even adults are expected to conform to certain behavioral expectations in some settings.

    Are adults just as likely to behave badly as children? Potentially, sure.

    As it stands, I am now boycotting movie theaters because of their inability to police cellphone use during movies. I just don't give a fuck any longer - my movie watching at home is almost theater quality, and without the annoyance of other people whipping out their cellphones and blinding the darkness with that goddamned bright light. Who needs it? Not me...

    Nothing worse than going to a restaurant where you're paying 200$ for a meal and drinks for the 2 of you and get seated to some stupid brat being annoying . The absolute ignorance of parents astounds me, Mc'ds is for your drooling mouth breathing kind or some other garbage chain ( ricky's/chili's/etc)

    People need to get used to stuff like this, After all, We now live in a world where children are " protected " from there own parents thus they cant be raised right. Nowadays every 3 years old know if you dont get your own way just call DCF and tell em daddy hits you. You cant expect good manners from a kid thats never had an ass wiping and if you claim to be your a lair.

    i think a business should be able to serve who they want to, but this isn't any different than banning gays, blacks or people with long hair.

    it's about 1000x harder to ask a family with a shitty kid to leave than to just ban them outright. nobody is singled out this way and it gives parents an excuse to dump off the kid for the night or just eat somewhere else

    That's entirely anecdotal.

    I've got anecdotes from very expensive restaurants where the wait staff didn't want to say ANYTHING because some super obnoxious parents refuse to actually parent their children and the kids not only knew they were off the leash, but had no leash to begin with.

    I also remember a time when the wife and I went to someplace nice as a very rare treat. A family reunion was going on and they had several young children there including a baby who was colicky. Because the adults wanted to reconnect and talk, they totally ignored the kids and the baby was being treated as an annoyance. This made for a really crappy dining experience and I really resented it. I don't resent their desire to reconnect, but they chose a totally inappropriate venue. And if they were going to ignore the children, they should have just gotten a babysitter, let everyone see the kids and then go to dinner.

    I've NEVER had a persistent issue with my kids at restaurants or amusements parks because I follow through. If I say, "if you act up, we're leaving", they KNOW I mean it and yes, after dropping what is a LOT of money for a disabled vet, we've left Disneyland or left a restaurant before even ordering because a kid was starting to act up. I've got 4 grown kids now and if anything, they are more critical of the behavior of children in public spaces than I am. But then, we didn't ignore our kids when we went out with them. If they weren't going to be part of the evening, we left them home. If we couldn't afford that, we didn't go.

    The idea that rich means better isn't always born out, tho. If that was the case, we wouldn't have phrases like "rich asshole" or affluenza. Kids get it when adults aren't willing to hold them to account.

    Good parents are good parents and bad parents are bad parents.

    And since you can't tell by how someone is dressed or how much money they do or don't have if they have any sense of decency or propriety regarding how to behave in a public setting, I'm for this rule.

    I feel like this is just clarifying the obvious.

    If you wouldn't advertise or describe the place as a "Family Restaurant", maybe question whether taking children there is the right choice.

    Imagine it would be illegal to outright ban people under a certain age. As the article stated, kick out parents of unruly children. Not ban children altogether.

    Also, the people saying they’ve had their meal “ruined” by kids are being overly dramatic. I’ve worked in restaurants for 19 years now and can maybe count 5 times in which kids were truly out of control and annoying other guests. Get over yourselves.
    A business can set an age limit as part of their business practices. If you disagree, take your money elsewhere.

    Children are all too often accompanied by parents who tune out their screeching.

If children (or anyone) is too disruptive, you’re asked to leave... or even have adult only hours. Just don’t ban children completely.
    Why?

    Why must people inflict their spawn on others?

    If a lot of these businesses pop up, maybe take the hint: control your offspring people.

    Classy? Not even. I just don't want to listen to their screeching. When the parents can impose good behavior on their children, then we can talk.

    At work, if a kid is doing a spot on banshee impersonation, I talk quieter to the parent. Until they tell their kid to hush. I'm not raising my voice, I'm smiling a customer service smile and speaking softly. When their kid hushes, I thank them, and continue on.

    So a restaurant can refuse service to children but a baker can't refuse service to a gay couple?
