I do if they're properly cooked.
Finally someone grew a pair!!!! I hate parents who will not control their crumb crunchers
Can’t stand screaming kids. Hooray for this restaurant!
I have nothing against children, however there have been a few times a nice lunch or dinner out has been ruined by a two or three year old screeching the entire time. Parents seem to have an ability to tune them out, but others do not.
I do not blame the childen, they do what they do. I do blame thoughtless parents.
Having said that, I am not sure a sign is necessary (although I support the owners of the restaurants the right to such a policy).
That's not what it says, Ashley ... but civilized people don't have to be told not to enter an establishment (except an emergency medical establishment) with a screaming child.
"I've never seen a restaurant say, don't bring your screaming kids in here," said mother-of-two Ashley Heflin. "You can't help it if your kids scream."
First off lady - it is their restaurant, their rules. You know, part of that liberty and freedom thing we're supposed to live under here in America.
Second of all, yes, you can "help it" if your kids scream. It is called parenting: administering discipline, teaching acceptable behaviors. You know, taking some responsibility for that person you are going to unleash on the world in a few years.
I had four children, 2 girls and 2 boys, all 2 or 3 years apart. The problem isn’t screaming children. The problem is parents permitting it. When my oldest son came to visit, one of his three kids (the 2 year old) was having a fit and wouldn’t walk across a hotel lobby to the beach. I interrupted my son’s negotiations with the child and simply picked the child up and carried him across the lobby to the beach. When I picked him up, I simply told him “Be quiet, your going to the beach whether you like it or not and if you keep screaming, I’ll throw you in the ocean”. He shut up after a few steps. When my son asked how I did that, I simply told him that you never negotiate with children.

Then you're an unfit parent and guilty of disturbing the peace/creating a disturbance.
Should I call Child protective services or a cop?
Parents with unruly kids are almost always liberals. The upbringing is based on daycare and/or parents who can’t say no to them.
I have 2 young children and I wholeheartedly support this restaurant’s policy.
Sure, children cry and they act up. But it’s up to the parents to do something about it. Trouble is, most parents now don’t want to discipline their children and they are too selfish to have any consideration for other diners and take the misbehaving children out of the restaurant.
Admittedly, I don’t have children of my own, but I go by the way I was raised. When I was a child, my family seldom went anywhere. For the most part it was because Mom and Dad couldn’t afford it. But my folks also recognized that there are situations where children of a certain age should not go. They don’t have the capacity to behave well in public. The other thing is that when I was a child, if I got out of line, a little corporal punishment went a long way to keep me from misbehaving in the future. Today, even looking cross-eyed at your child is considered child abuse, and there is this attitude that the children basically should raise themselves. Beyond providing the basic necessities of life, these parents won’t teach their children what they need to function in the world. The result is that they breed selfish, inconsiderate children.
So, parents, how about this? If your child can’t handle a particular public situation, leave the child at home with a babysitter. If you can’t find a babysitter, don’t go at all.
I think the epidemic of screaming, undisciplined children began when women stopped being women and men, ....well.....
I have witnessed children racing through restaurants, attacking other people, knocking them over, and the asshole libtard parents look the other way and say nothing. If you don’t like the sign don’t go!

The crux of the problem.
"You can't help it if your kids scream."
My daughter was hell-on-wheels in general. However the only time she tried to act up in a restaurant I told her to shut up or I would take her out and sit in the car while her mother and brother had breakfast. She screamed and yelled and got dragged out to the car. After 2 minutes she said she'd stop and we went back in and never had trouble again. It's not a difficult problem to handle if you aren't a coward. Letting your kids push you around is a recipe for disaster.
However, I'm waiting for the restaurant that "says no" to loud adults.
I always ask for the no baby section. They laugh, until they bring is a screaming rug rat and I leave.

I can’t help it if I fart. But, I do have some control of that situation.
All my kids and grand kids understand Papa's STFU look....they don't get a second opportunity to ignore it....their respect is genetic.
