Seems like more restaurants are tired of screaming kids

https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/restaurant-menu-screaming-children-booted

Quote:
“Children must be seated at all time[s], not left to run around the restaurant,” the note began, as the restaurant can be a "very dangerous place" with the staff carrying hot plates.

“We will not be held responsible for your children if they are hurt in the restaurant because they are not being looked after,” it continued. “Children are the sole responsibility of their guardian whilst in our restaurant.”

Detailing that kids must be accompanied to the restroom – and that little ones under 8 will be served with melamine plates and bowls, as the establishment’s porcelain plates are “served hot” – restaurant management elaborates that though they “love children in the restaurant,” kids who are “crying or screaming” can create a tense, stressful atmosphere for other diners.

“Customers do not come to listen to screaming children, we ask in the most politest [sic] way possible, please if your child is crying/screaming please take them out of the restaurant until they've calmed down,” the memo goes on. “I really do not want to upset anyone, but we have had complaints in the past. You have to understand people do not come out to listen to crying/screaming children.”

“Unfortunately, if a child cannot be stopped from disturbing other diners we will unfortunately have to ask you to leave the restaurant, which we would really hate to do,” the notice finishes. “I know it would offend and we'd hate that too!”
Bravo! The problem is not the child. Its the parents that don't care if their little Egbert ruins everyone elses peace and quiet. When our daughter was little, we gave her a little room but if she kept on or started to wail, we took her home out of consideration for everyone else. She was not the perfect angel and tantrums were address with measures not so subtle and as such happened rarely if ever.
