Why isn't there a NO kids section in restaurants?

Question

It is annoying when you go out to eat and have to put up with screaming annoying kids. you can't even enjoy a good meal. Since they got rid of the smoking sections in resteraunts, put the kids section back there and have a door to close it off from the rest of the resteraunt that way we can enjoy a meal out.

its not fair to us people that don't have kids to have to put up with the noise of other people's kids.

Answer 1

Just face it.  Anyone who has children thinks they are all high and mighty because of it.  

Its a difficult job THEY CHOOSE to do.  

I agree with the poster 100%.  We should not have to be inconvinanced because Jonny "Yells" Alot won't shut the h**l up.  I don't really care for any of their lame excuses either when I confront them.  Yes they are kids, Yes you can't do much about it sometimes, BUT WHY IS THAT MY PROBLEM!!!!!!

Answer 2

I think smokers and people who use loud profanity are just as rude as people with unruly kids..

and most restaraunts DO have a kid free section..  its called the BAR!!

Answer 3

like lots said, it's the parents' responsibility. i am so with you, though. nothing makes me angrier than listening to to a bunch of bratty kids throwing fits.

Answer 4

I'm with you on this! It sucks when all you want to do is enjoy a nice meal and some parents can't control their kids.

Answer 5

Becaue unless it is a small babies, the adults should be responsible for maintaining there children.

Not just noise, but messing with things {like stuff allover applebee's walls} I just ate out with my friend and her dad a couple nights ago and this little kid started messing with some k**b at this mexican rstaurent, my friends dad said "if i were that kids parent i'd beat his a#&"

so really, the parents are responsible.

ask them to control their kids, or ask to move.

But as othes said, you were a kid once, too.

and wow, i just read how your not going to move, because the kids/parents w kids should have to? wow.

it's YOUR problem, not theirs.

Answer 6

Kids need to eat too!  

I'm sorry that my children aren't as perfect as you.

Answer 7

Uhhhhh cause people are cool and let us scream and be happy. Thats too bad for you

Answer 8

Man you really DO hate kids.... I kinda agree I think you should be able to go over and slap the parents when they don't even try to stop the little buger eaters from annoying people trying to enjoy a meal :)

Answer 9

Listen your just going to have to accept that children are noisy. Family's aren't always willing to move so that you can enjoy your dinner. Why not stop being so stubborn and move yourself?

Answer 10

you were a kid once too, you know.

since you feel so strongly about it, why not confront the parents?  because you're too scared to speak your mind?  oh, okay.  bye.

Answer 11

wow it must suck being so hateful

Answer 12

not trying to sound mean but how do you think the people with the screaming kids feel when people are always rolling their eyes at them or saying nasty things loud enough for them to hear. they got rid of smoking because it's bad for peoples health, screaming kids are just annoying.

Answer 13

I don't hate children, but I do agree something should be done about disruptive patrons, whether they be children or adults.  There is nothing more horrible than saving money up out of your budget, hiring a sitter for an evening away from the children, sitting down to a nice meal....then having it ruined because of someone else's behavior!  When it is children, it is really the parents fault. It's not always just kids either.  I've sat next to adults who were 10 times worse than kids;  cussing, being rude, being extremely loud and obnoxious, talking loudly on cell phones, etc.   It ruins your evening.  Society as a whole has forgotten their manners.

I personally think the establishments should take on a more proactive role to address rudeness in their establishment.  There should be signs up that say "Loud obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated from children or adults.  As a courtesy to our patrons, those disrupting the dining experience of others will be asked to leave."  They kick people out of theaters for being rude...why not restaurants?  I'm not talking about McDonald's mind you, where you expect children to be.  I'm talking about sit down, nice restaurants.

Answer 14

Sounds like you really hate children,but kids are not the only ones who have no manners when they go to a resteraunt.I have seen some adults who can really be obnoxoious big kids.They do things like wrestle at the table,pick their nose,leave food all over the floor and act  like 1 year olds.I have to girls of my own and if someone asked me to make them be quiet i would ask that person to go jump in a lake.Kids are not little adults they are still learning so dont discriminate against little kids when some adults act even worse.

Answer 15

Kids are humans too. They are part of the family and have every right to eat

Answer 16

The problem with confronting the parents is that, if the parent is doing nothing to correct the situation, then he/she probably thinks little Maddysinn or Kaylebbe is perfect, and that no one has the right to even insinuate otherwise.

I was no perfect angel when I was little, and my parents knew it.  We didn't go out to eat all that often.  When we did, my parents MADE SURE I sat in my chair, ate my food, and behaved.

It seems like so many parents just can't be inconvenienced by such things, like it's their right to take their kids out to eat every week, no matter what their childrens' behavior.

Answer 17

you were a kid once too, you know!!!

I am sure people thought the samething about you, How can we shut that little brat up?

GET OVER IT!!! Kids have too eat as well, and there nothing you can do about it..

Answer 18

Life is not fair. I know it is annoying, but it is the way it is. Perhaps you can ask for another table further from the distraction in these cases?

Answer 19

Kids are a part of our society they can't just be segregated out, i understand it's annoying but if you don't like it why don't YOU leave the restaurant and go to one more frequented by adults, it's not fair to them to have to get harassed by people for their children being normal children, they have just as much right to be there as you do, stop being such a n**i
