I ask to be moved right away and in 98% of the cases I AM moved. I'm 1000% behind a kid-free seating section on any plane and would happily pay premium dollar in order to get away from them.

Quite difficult really, you cannot control a screaming kid, if it wants to scream then scream it shall. No matter how angry you get or how much you plead with the kid it's gonna scream all the louder.
But no-one likes a screaming kid, so if you know your kid gets like that on a regular basis then I don't think it's fair to annoy everyone else that's try to have a nice meal.
But here's a question. What happens if someone takes their well behaved kid to the restaurant, and for some reason on that night it decides to scream the place down? The restaurant ask you to leave? Without paying for your food? (If so then I would finish my meal and then kick my kid under the table really hard)

why does it suck?
if your child is well behaved and not screaming they seem perfectly welcome.
Was out eating last week and at a big table next to us was about 10 adults and 5-6 children and they were rolling all over the floor, running around, shouting. God, it was so annoying.
There are plenty of very well behaved kids. But of course you can't just expect a child to be quiet and listen when you get to a restaurant if you allow your child to step all over you when you are at home.

Training for the stealth invasion of Poland?
Its frustrating that places even need to bring in rules like this, whatever happened to common courtesy? Not that we take our newborn out to eat often, but if we've been in a restaurant and she started crying, then the wife is straight up and taking her outside so that we dont disturb other diners, its not rocket science. The fact that there are so many inconsiderate bellends out there that think its ok to let their children sit there and scream the place down just points to how low our society is sinking.
One wonders how many people who are pro this have actually tried to handler a toddler that is trying to experiment with boundaries. Personally knowing what toddlers are like I'd save myself the hassle and the looks of other people and go somewhere where they would not be so bored. As for kids screaming in general - yep I got kids - nope I don't really like it - but I would also like to ban loud iPods, loud conversations, people watching movies at high volume on planes etc. In short I want peace and quiet wherever I go - never get it mind.

I'm fully behind the restaurant. Badly behaved children will ruin the atmosphere for other customers. Also it's good to see that the owner hasn't just blanket banned children; only unruly ones.

That's not what the catholic priest said

Nice to see you are personally pro-active towards the standards you expect from others.
Toddlers are another thing. You can't really control them and ask them to behave. It's the 6+ ones not behaving that annoy me.
As for planes you can't really make a rule that you can't bring unruly kids on a plane. What are they going to do to prevent it? Emergency land the plane and kick them off? Inspect them and do tests before boarding?

Same thing as with any other animal, Valium.
The wife does it as she is both better with the little one than I am, and usually its because the little one requires feeding, which means the wife getting her baps out as mine do not suffice.
See post eleven. Sorry but I really can't stand it when peeps double post!
If I took my kids to a restaurant and they started screaming, I'd be suitably embarrassed enough to take them outside, worst case scenario I end up taking them home, I certainly wouldn't let them ruin other people's meals. Besides, if you want to go to a restaurant, you'd get a babysitter so you can at least enjoy yourself.
Yeah Tefal! Hang your head in shame!

What they need is a good slap, tell you what in the 70's when I was a kid you where taught if you start screaming the place down or played up you got a smack. Soon learnt what you could and could not do.
Kids get it to easy these days, I remember the first time I swore at my father, talk about being bounced around four walls, never did it again until I was well into my teens.
There is no discipline these days, same as when I was in school, did something wrong you got the dap, kids know they can get away with anything these days grrrrr.
