This is on parents starting with Boomers and continuing through succeeding generations who never taught their children manners. These same parents act oblivious when their little brats are interfering with others’ enjoyment of a meal or a movie or even shopping.
I don’t vacation much in the USA b/c there are no “adults only” places you can go. I am forced to go to other countries if I want to actually relax without loud unruly and undisciplined brats underfoot.
An expensive restaurant that doesn’t allow kids? They should ALL be that way. Most kids are too young to appreciate fine dining anyway so why should others pay for the bad parenting?
I so agree, after dozens of disrupted restaurant meals with my spoiled brat grands!
This is not true at all. It has nothing to do with age. There are plenty of 10 year old noisy brats, and plenty of loud obnoxious adults.
Parents are responsible for their children and should be asked to leave if their children are disturbing other diners after 1 warning. One policy might be a deposit for families bringing children that would be applied to the meal or forfeit if they were asked to leave. That would weed out the ones who don’t belong there.
