Restaurant Bans Kids:

[Ravi]

Because no one wants a scene ravi. Sheez. Any parent that would allow their screaming kids to misbehave in public is unlikely to leave quietly themselves.

My children have almost always behaved in restaurants however once or twice when they were tired or sick, we've had to ask for our meals packed up. Many people don't do that. Hence - the ban.

Yes, but why punish everyone for the actions of some?

it is the American way.
Like ALL Muslims are evil.
all non christians are evil, etc.

I hit someone real good with that one and got negged.

Let me guess: manifold!

Sometimes disciplining your child is the hardest thing to do as a parent. But you do them the greatest disservice of all if you repeatedly fail to do so.

And it can be done with out beating the shit out of them.

Indeed. For example, our youngest recently forfeited her dessert because she didn't eat any of her dinner. Having to watch her older sister eat a bowl of ice cream while she got none sent her over the cliff into a serious melt-down. But it had to be done.

Having raised 4 of my own, and additional 2 for quite a few years...I feel your pain.

I think at some point all of my boys have had to be escorted out to the car to wait while the family enjoyed a nice meal in a restaurant.

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. And not one of the tables we passed with said son screaming and thrashing gave us dirty looks, any of those times, lol. In fact, we all but got a standing ovation.

I have also left full shopping carts standing in the middle of stores when a child has gotten out of hand (and I was the sole adult in our party).

It's just one of those things we have to do...kids don't learn how to act in public if you never take them places. But when you do, be prepared to remove them from the premises if their behavior is inappropriate, or they never learn what behavior is inappropriate.

Nope, guess again.

Allie? Jeesh, I hope not.

Me. I'm tired of usc's ridiculous and unsubstantiated drivel.

Why not just ask them to leave if they act up?

What is wrong with people....

That's just not working these days, it often leads to loud confrontations between parents and staff with the old "how dare you" refrain.
I also disagree we older adults are less tolerant and kids no more or less reigned in, some parents have been quite lapse in teaching or controlling their child's social manners. I have seen kids allowed to do, in public, behavior that I, my brothers and any other kids I grew up with would have been taken outside and spanked for. Thank you Dr Spock for a whole generation of fucked up parents and fucked up kids.

You are correct, kids may hate things like a set bed time, discipline, having to eat healthy foods etc etc but children really don't know what is good for them.

Most places these days, if you make your kid wait alone in the car as punishment you'll be arrested for child endangerment.



Maybe we should just make kids illegal! There fine in the womb but once they are born they are nothing but an irritation, .

sigh....this is bullshit. It is easy enough to discipline your kids with out taking them outside and spanking them. Any parent that says otherwise is a weak little idiot.

That said, I would like a restaurant that bans Republicans.

I guess you think Dr Spock was right, even though he's been completely debunked. Oh and I said "would have" but it wasn't always necessary, most often the threat of punishment was enough to gain compliance. Your "bull shit" doesn't hold water.

 

[Ringel05]

Spanking is only one tool in parent's discipline arsenal, the one of last resort which is the way my parents used it on us and my siblings used it on their children.

I have no idea what Dr. Spock is all about, but if he's anti-spanking, so what. Spanking is for losers.

I think it's ironic that ravi would like to see restaurants ban Republicans. Every restaurant owner I know IS A REPUBLICAN.

 

[High_Gravity]

How would you ban a Republican from a dining establishment?

 

[chanel]

Those liberals are so damn liberal aren't they???

 

[Ravi]

Interesting. I have the opposite experience.

My point though, is Republicans usually smell bad and talk in loud voices and are quite annoying in restaurants. And I won't even mention bars!

 

[Ravi]

Require patrons wear deodorant.

If you say so........... uniformed judgment duly noted and just as duly dismissed.

Not so. First, after 2 or 3 you are not doing anything but hitting them out of anger. you cant just whip them and send them to there room. Oh, and Dr. Spok was a fucktard. Wonder if he had kids.
