Good for the owner.

When my son was a baby/young child and had a crying jag or a meltdown in public, he was removed from the store or restaurant and taken outside until he calmed down. Most times that worked too.

Never had a problem with this. My son learned very early on that I don't put up with bullshiat. If you teach your kids from day 1 that temper tantrums will not be tolerated you'll save yourself a lot of headaches in the future.

Never understood those parents that tried to cure a kids tantrum with a cookie. A piece of wood takes care of that real quick and then you don't have to deal with it anymore and they get to understand what a boundary is.

I like this guy. Anybody wants to complain that he bans unruly children, don't frequent there. Problem solved for everyone.

"Screaming children will not be tolerated"

-My parents had this rule in force years ago.

I used to wait tables for many years in South Tampa.

I was amazed that children would sit there, SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS, drowning out all conversation, and the moms would pretend that nothing is wrong. They would just politely give me their order, and I'd be like WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU THERE IS A SCREAMING BABY AT YOUR TABLE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.

They'd usually smile and ask what I recommended.

And like I told an ex-girlfriend the other day, once you have kids, you are no longer interesting to other human beings. So enjoy it.

Marley: "I've never seen a restaurant say, don't bring your screaming kids in here," said Ashley Heflin, who is a mom of two. "You can't help it if your kids scream."

Anyone here want to give some parenting tips to Ashley?

Yes. "Here is a book on how to deal with challenging children. When they act up, whack 'em with the book."

Note to Moms everywhere: If your idiot offspring decides it wants to start screaming in a public place, remove it immediately.

We dont think it's cute or funny. Get the rat out of our space.

Excellent.

Discriminating against kids isn't fair. Discriminating against evil little monsters that don't STFU while big people are eating is fantastic.

Note to parents everywhere: Nobody else in the whole world really, really gives a shiat about your kid. We might pretend to be interested (just to be polite), but you're the only ones who really give a shiat.

EXACTLY!

I've suggested, at times, that the owner of a screaming little piece of sperm spawn shove the little bastige back up where he came from and let him cook a little more. He obviously wasn't done.

I would've said "super glue and duct tape".

This is what I posted in the redlit thread:

PacManDreaming: Fark needs a SUPERHERO tag. There is one restaurant in particular that I've only been to once in the last 20 years because of constantly screaming kids. And I wouldn't have gone that one time, if I had been driving. I know kids cry and scream sometimes, but 30 straight minutes of it is too frog-damned much.

Friskya: Note to parents everywhere: Nobody else in the whole world really, really gives a shiat about your kid. We might pretend to be interested (just to be polite), but you're the only ones who really give a shiat.

Utter truth. And quit posting photos of your moron kids as your profile pic on Facebook too, that's so stupid. No one wants to see your idiot children, really. We pretend we want to but that's because we have to.

I took my son out to lunch with me the day before school started and we went to a place that has great sandwiches but it usually filled with middle aged office workers because it's right across from the base. I got some weird looks from the weight staff but I didn't think much of it as we were leaving I was thanked for bringing a well behaved child in for lunch. I'm guessing they had something happen in the recent past with a kid.

He is good when we go out to dinner because he wants to be there and he knows misbehaving means he immediately leaves and doesn't finish the experience. He'll occasionally need a "inside voice or we are leaving now."
Unfortunately he's trying to test his Kindergarten teacher to see how consistent she's going to be and if he should listen to her or not. It ticks me off because he wouldn't pull this things if I was but I only know about it hours later when he gets home. Today I made a five year old fold laundry and brush the dog with no TV and early bedtime. I guess my point is kids are a work in progress and each new situation has it's own challenges.

I know this and I still can't stand when a bunch of women are out to lunch and one brings a kid and then completely ignored them while the kid yells to get their attention. Lady either start paying attention to your kid or when she's 12 that nice 40 year old man on the internet will. I was trying to "read" in a local coffee shop the other day with a ４ year old yelling "見て 見てmama" for 45 minutes.OK really it's a hang out for all the Japanese born wives from base and they sit there in gossip loudly in Japanese thinking no one can understand and I use the time to pretend to read and practice my conversational listening skills, but still...

Anyway I totally understand both sides but still support a restaurant owner's right to ask people to leave if their kids are being little shiats.

Actually one of my kids if they started to throw fits in a public place like a supermarket or mall what worked best was to keep walking and ignore her. The second she'd realize I was leaving her there and didn't give a crap no matter how many times she'd pound her head into the floor she'd stop. My pediatrician was an old guy in his early 70s and his advice was "Well if she hits herself head hard enough she'll stop because she hurts and if she hits her head too hard she'll pass out. Either way problem solved."

Restaurants though I always carried her out to the car and then sat on the hood while she screamed away in her car seat.

Only one kid out of the three wasn't a limit pusher as a small child. I'm assuming her late teens are going to be hell to make up for it.

My mother still tells me endless tales of how I would freak out in restaurants and movie theaters, and how they would have to leave in embarrassment. I'm proud of them for being so humiliated and polite in dealing with my baby self.

I still freak out in restaurants and movie theaters, though.

Awesome. That's all I have to say about this.

FTA: "I've never seen a restaurant say, don't bring your screaming kids in here," said Ashley Heflin, who is a mom of two. "You can't help it if your kids scream."

You've never seen a restaurant do that because it was probably a restaurant that is used to having screaming kids and parents with screaming kids, so they didn't want to drive away their customers. However, there are other places that kids need to behave to be accepted.

Goddamn if I ever screamed for more than 30 seconds in a place, I was out the door so fast my head was spinning. That's not even taking into account what would happen when I got home for my rude behavior....

No, you can't stop all screaming, but a child screaming for more than a minute is a major disruption. You are not the center of the universe and your child is not "special". If your child is causing a disruption, remove the offending offspring so that everyone's experience is not ruined.

SpaceyCat: "I've never seen a restaurant say, don't bring your screaming kids in here," said Ashley Heflin, who is a mom of two. "You can't help it if your kids scream."

Yeah, I just wanted to say to this, "No biatch, but you CAN take your kid outside to spare the rest of us."

When a hostess at a "family" restaurant asked us if we wanted smoking or non-smoking sections (before the bans), we always requested the "No Screaming" section" :)

Gofly: smoking or non-smoking sections

Brings up an interesting point. How long until this guy is told that he has to serve people with screaming children?

"I've never seen a restaurant say, don't bring your screaming kids in here," said Ashley Heflin, who is a mom of two. "You can't help it if your kids scream."

Yes, you can. Try parenting. It really works.

actualhuman: Damn that MAObama! amiright?

No.

I was in a restaurant this weekend and kid at the next table was going through his "mine" phase, screaming "DAT'S MY DRINK! DAT'S MIIIIINE!!!!!". His Dad calmly worked him out of it with a series of taking the drink away when he screamed and giving it back when he toned it down.
