Lol, she threatened to call the cops because your buddy wanted to move to a table away from her bratty kids? Ah man, if I didn't think she'd smash it against the wall, I'd have dialed 911 and handed her my cell.

A sign like this makes me want to eat there. I am a parent and I am amazed at how many totally unruly children go to restaurants now.
Kids being loud in Chuck E Chees on the other hand, is expected.

Is this one of those "Brer Rabbit" things? "Please, oh please, don't take your badly parented, ill-behaving kids somewhere else".
To: xsmommy
Discipline based in this philosophy had another advantage: one behaved when Mom/Dad weren't even along on the outing. Who can forget Mom yelling as I went out the door, "Remember who you are!!!"
To: imskylark
My kids are constantly getting compliments, and my wife and I are usually left shrugging our shoulders because the monsters we see at home are nothing like the angels that they pretend to be in public. Both of ours should go into acting, because every foray into the outside world is an Oscar winning performance.

Wow...I hope your daughter doesn't follow your example and grow up to be an idiot.
Nobody said that children should NEVER be loud...they said they should have public manners. That would cover probably 10% of their awake time, right?
If she's loud and throws things, then I would recommend you limit the amount of time you spend in restaurants with her until she has more control, or hang out at Mickey D's.
That wasn't so tough, huh?

I
have a friend who pinches My mama was a first grade teacher for years. Her preferred method, short of the paddle (which was kept handy) was the two tendons on the back of the neck between her thumb and fingers. And know what? She was beloved by her students.

As if we needed more ammo to make the case that ours is the absolute worst generation of "mothers" in American history.
"How dare they (those evil property owners) ask that I keep my child's behavior under control. The day-care center I've dumped him/her in since the age of six weeks doesn't teach good behavior. And, until the taxpayer funds behavior training for my kids I shouldn't be expected to have well-behaved kids."

Personal responsibility ... what a novel concept? :)
I have two boys, 8 and 11, and if I see them sitting there perfectly quiet and still, even in public, I'd probably get a little worried and check their foreheads for a fever. Kids are going to be kids, I think there is an element in this country that doesn't have any patience for that concept and expects kids to be little adults sitting there seen and not heard. But again, in my book there's a difference between kids being kids and kids being out of control. Parents can't stop kids from being kids. But they absolutely CAN stop their kids from being out of control, and I don't think it's an unfair expectation to expect them to do so.

Kids being loud in Chuck E Chees on the other hand, is expected. True. But I suspect many parents neglect to teach that such behavior is NOT acceptable at other places.

Could be they are still looking for a girl as wonderful as mom.

Please, no one is extending this to 1 year olds and you know it. Babies aren't disciplined and no one expects them to be.

My friend has 1 year old grandchildren (twins).
They are learning sign language. It is amazing what they can already understand.

Do you understand the difference between discipline and punishment?

"That wasn't so tough, huh?"
This thread has moved to a level of irony that has gotten very amusing.

Discipline a 1 year old? You're mad. And I have 4 kids, 27, 25, 13, and 11, plus two grandchildren who are 2 and 9 months so I know damned well that I know whereof I speak. The best you can do with a 1 year old is hand smacking. Any discipline beyond that is well beyond their ability to understand.

Uh, yes, I think you should discipline her. One-year-old is not too young to be taught the concept of boundaries of behavior. We introduced our two kids to the concept of "no" at about that stage.

New sign:
"Unruly children will be given a free ride inside the pastry blender followed by a one hour tour in the oven!
Frosting will be provided at the end of the tour...

I've often thought that adults are too respectful of bratty children. When allow children to go on and on like brats, we are really tolerating the parents and their either poor control or their concept that it is "civilized" to carry on in public.
When I was kid, adults would actually tell me to behave or pipe down if I was acting up. I think we need to get over that absurd boundary that we cannot correct an unruly child in public (within limits, of course, no screaming, certainly no touching, but if the child is screaming words, he/she can probably understand an adult saying, "please stop screaming.")
