If they can't manage their children and keep them from bothering other people around them, they should be asked to leave.

Yes. I think that people with children should have the manners to not take them into certain restaurants. Some restaurants are more family oriented, but some places are where adults go to relax and have a nice meal. Its really annoying for that nice meal to be compromised by a kid screaming the entire time.
Those parents should foot the bill for every meal they ruin.

I cannot stand screaming kids period. In a movie theater, they ruin that with all that bawling! I am not blaming the children, I am blaming the stupid, lazy parents who think their child is "just being a child." Shut that brat up! I had three boys that had to accompany me on occasions and they were taught how to behave; how to use indoor voice vs. outside voice, etc. Bri, you need to train that kid - there are some places kids do not want to be at and all that brawling is letting you know. For the other person saying Applebee's or Chili's is okay too - it is not! People are trying to enjoy their meal - shut that kid up or stay home!

I'm sure the screaming children ruin dinner for childless people, but for anyone who has children, they probably don't mind so much. I imagine at one point, their children were the screaming ones, so they probably just sit there and think, "Jeez--I remember those days!" and thank God that their kids are older now. Sometimes you just can't control your kids no matter what you do.
However, if I were at a *nice* restaurant ($50 a plate vs. Denny's) yes, it would probably ruin my dinner. I don't believe children belong at restaurants like that. At least, not young children.

Misbehaving children in any situation is distracting. And yes, it can ruin a nice dinner. But, don't you think that it is the parents
fault for not teaching the children how to behave in public? I do.
The parents should make their apologies and ask for a take home plate for their meals and take the children home.

Yes they do. I do not like children and prefer not to be around them at all. Sometimes at restaurants if I am about to be seated next to a table with children I will even asked to be moved.

I think so. Plus then they start to yell and carry on and get everyone around them looking at them like i can not believe you have kids. It is like if you are in a store and people are yelling at there 2 year old child and they do not know what they did in the first place. That breaks my heart to see that today... Some people do not need to have kids or be around kids...

i have a 7yo boy and whenever we go out to restaurant we never have to worry about his behavior. Right from the start he quickly learned how to behave. He knows what will happen if he doesn't, and no I don't wait until we get home either.
when ever we go out without my son we always sit away from people with other kids. The whole time out crap doesn't work, and parents give in to their kids just to shut them up. These are the kind of people who depend on the government and schools to raise their kids. They grow up to have no morals, and expect everything to be handed to them.

I don't enjoy my children playing up in restaraunts and frankly it's embarrassing and annoying for us if they bother other patrons.
For that reason, we only go to family restaraunts with playgrounds.
They get bored in pompus places and it's not fair on them.
Why should they get into trouble for being children?
So avoidance is the best bet. My husband and I haven't been into a proper restaraunt with the children in years.

I used to wait tables, and I hated when people would let their children get unruly. It drove me insane! It does ruin dinner, completely. When I was younger, we weren't supposed to make a lot of noise at the table. We could talk and enjoy the conversation, but you were not to raise your voice. *lol*
