KIDS SECTION IN RESTAURANTS???

[trx#9]

I'm thinking it would be a good law. Now that there's no smoking sections anymore. I think it would be a great idea, especially in bar and grills. Nothing like relaxing in a bar-n-grill drinking a cocktail or beer with a baby screaming in your ear. I also love when they crawl up on the booth next to you and start grabbing your hair with there parents acting like its cute!  
Just wanted to know what everyone thought or if had a interesting story or experience to share?

[Fox17]

sounds like you had a bad experience.

Ok im lyin, but I agree with you, that irritates me to no end. If your kid cant behave dont take him/her out.

[1FasterBlaster]

  It's a good idea for people that want privacy. I tell my Daughter not to bother people when their eating. Some parents can't control their kids.

Seems like everytime i go out. I see babies in restaurants after 10:00pm. Give me a break!

i'm all for a special kids section for families.  i use to go to a bar and the kids would play tag running around the place grabbing your table as they swung themselves around the corner.  it was irritating and like trx stated the parents thought nothing of letting them run loose.

or when you go to eat a nice dinner and someone has an infant screaming.  i know it's not the childs fault.  however, the problem is when the parent doesn't get up and take the child out side and take them for a walk or sing to them.  they leave them there to sit and scream.

or ppl w/ toddlers that don't have the attention span to deal w/ a long adult dinner.  and the parents don't bring crayons or other things to keep them entertained quietly.  so they stand up on the chairs, or slide under the table and sneak off only to come up next to or under your table like a dog begging for food.

or if you're in a bar and the parents get all pissy b/c you are using bar language in front of their kids.  i wouldn't use that language at mc donald's or at chucky cheese.  but it's bar language cause hint we're in a BAR.  DUH?  so the parents are ready to swing at ppl for behaving like an adult in an adult situation.  rather than seeing that they brought their kids into an adult situation.

or parents that sit and get drunk and stay late and the kids are sleeping at the table.  and someone has to drive them home.

i'd be happy to have a family area in restaurants.  even waitors don't like waiting on tables w/ kids.  they have to work harder for fewer tips and the kids a lot of times leave a larger mess.  i shouldn't have to have a chicken nugget on the floor under the table i'm eating at.

OK here it comes. I'm ducking cause I'm about to get blasted.  Please remember I'm using examples of some of my experiences.  I'm not saying all families are like that.  I have also been out to restaurants and gone over and complimented the children and the parents for their behavior.  Duck and cover here it comes!

Couldn't say it better myself!!!!!!!!!
 One day when i have children, I would not appeal to sit in a kids section. I would perfer it, do to if my child gets loud I now that I'm in a section were its exceptable. Then when we get a sitter and my wife and I then can have a peaceful dinner out too.

[Michael Bolton]

just in restaurants? we need to ban them all together! theyre everywhere, in airplanes, grocery stores, in the trunk of my car, etc

ban screaming little children!

[AmericanRobster]

I was at Sonny's here in St. Pete a month ago with my dad and we had to sit next to a screaming kid the whole time. Nobody in the resturant could have a decent conversation. The parents did nothing!!!!

[06 BaNsHeE]

I was at olive garden like at 10 on sunday was when we got there...The whole time theres a cuban family sitting behind me(Im cuban myself)..They had 4 little kids crying for about 1 hour...It was about 11 when they were walking out and there was one of them just standing in my face for about 1 minute until the mom grabs him by his neck or hair I couldnt really tell and her friend or sister w.e. have the nerve to stare at me with a face that looked Like I was trying to sell the little kid crack...There was a family of 3 that complained to the waiter and they were asked to quiet down...I was so pissed of that I wanted to get out of my seat and SLAP that lady about 6 times across her face...UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[bigwake]

hahahaaaa..that reeeely sux! but the idea about kid's section is awesome! one time i was on a plane and this little baby wouldn't stop crying and these kids kept yakin and yaking that some guy shouted as loud as he could : "give that baby some whiskey and shut those damn kids up!"..basically the plane errupted in laughter..except for their parents..hahaa

[GrizzlyGator]

Yeah a kids section would be nice..doubt most places would put one in though..my thought on this as with any other discussion involving kids or any other rule/law breaker is this...we seem to always want to do something to the kids not the dagum parents or the rule/law breaker who are really responsible IE: NOT wearing helmets, riding machines that are way to big for them, acting up in resteraunts etc., what happens in all these cases THE MAN comes and trys to run our lives..making laws cutting out our liberties and such, then were all punished for somebody Else's lack of _________!     

[AintSkeered]

And, a loud, rude drunkards section. Spanish-speaking section. New Yorker section. Etc,,

[VForcedave]

I think a Redneck section would be good as well. Keep those people away from me.

[trx#9]

I heard there's a beach now that enforcing a adult only section. I think I was up north in one of the great lakes.

[Joedirt]

Most people have the common sense to know if you go into an "Alehouse or Bar and Grill" there will be Children in there during the day. After 8-9 PM Children usually are not allowed around the bar. However if you feel compelled to use Bar language around children regardless...You have issues.

I do think that some parents treat the Restaurant as a damn daycare..and they let the kids run loose with no regard for anyone else. They should be asked to leave.

In my years of Bartending , I have turned at least 10 couples away from my bar for trying to prop the baby on a stool in a carseat @ a SMOKING Bar.....I have little patience for that.

[HARRY-SACS]

If you got kids you go to chucky cheese, not the sizzler. Most these people know that there kids are terrors are they still take them out anyways. It seems like people are getting more and more disrespective, only thinking of themselves.

I punched a dude right in the face for lettin his kid stare at me.

LMFAO

[LINK500]

Maybe all you people that don't have kids should be sterilized and dropped on an island somewere
so that all you people can stop crying so much. You all sound like a bunch of cry babies yourselves
All of you that don't have kids don't know what you are talking about till that day you are blessed
with your own kids. The most well behaved kid will act up from time to time and it is not always the parents fault.

Here's one of those nonchalant patents.

[LINK500]

Maybe we should start the sterilization with you TRX. This tread seams like it turned into a bash on any parents that take thier kids out to dinner with them, thats all.

[qt314nfla]

Spoken like a true breeder.  No need for sterilization I wouldn't damage the world w/ my offspring.  I have enough common decency to the reast of the planet to not procreate.  Besides it'd probably be Tyrone's crack baby anyway.  They I'd have to go on Springer to find my baby daddy.

It's a bar you moron.  If you don't want me talking like that in an adult atmosphere then don't bring your kids there.  I wouldn't go to chuck e. cheese or any other child oriented place and speak that way.  Besides isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.  I know the type of language that is used around children in different circles.

Oh, and it's a blessing if you want them.  If you don't then it's called an abortion or adoption.  Duck and cover the breeders are about to spray me w/ their special sauce.  Not everyone wants children.  Some of us just enjoy being aunts and uncles.

LOL Classy...

[East Coast Dirty Girls]

well, i have kids and I WANT A SECTION I CAN SEND THE YOUNGINGS TO!   

Hell, my kids are pretty well behaved....they know they act up i will whoop some arse....however, if you are at a bar where people are drinking like that....you need not bring them.  I must admit, my oldest knows how to throw darts better than most people (lol) but when it comes to the adult scene and kids the best bet is to get at sitter.  "specially if you are drinking"  HOWEVER......like i said....i want a section to send the kids to eat by them selves on the OTHER side of the restaurant at ALL eating establishments....hell, i would tip big for that!
