Actually, it’s the parents of these unruly children that need to be banned.
Growing up, not that we had many meals out, but whenever we were out in public, we behaved, if we knew what was good for us.
It has become a spare the rod, spoil the child world. Parents now want to be “friends” with their children instead of parents.....or parent, another problem.
Exactly right. And, when I was a kid, parents wouldn’t allow their screaming child to remain in the restaurant. They would take them outside, away from everyone else, until the crying subsided so as not to interupt everyone else.
“It has become a spare the rod, spoil the child world. Parents now want to be “friends” with their children instead of parents.....or parent, another problem.”
To a point. There are just some bad seeds out there, and even a super parent can’t make the kid behave. How do you reconcile a parent who raises three kids, two are successful and were model kids, the other an out of control drug addict. Obviously they were doing something right and the assumption being they used the same general approach to all three kids. Sometimes kids just have no desire to behave or listen to their parents.
Amen.
