RB'S QUESTION OF THE DAY: March 4, 2013: In the news recently, I've heard some restaurants are asking families with unruly children to leave...
In the news recently, I've heard some restaurants are asking families with unruly children to leave; and I saw today where some malls have now posted signs saying something similar. What do you think about this? Do you think it's the right thing to do??
If not, what do you think should be requested of parents who let their children greatly misbehave in business establishments???
First of all, I think parents who take their children to a place that is not child-oriented, i.e. has nothing to interest children, expect a great deal of their children to behave for the duration, yet I see many people who do this, and I think it's unfair to the kids.
As for asking the family to leave, I'm not sure. Perhaps it might teach "some" to pick better venues to bring their children to and to teach their children how to behave in other surroundings, but expecting "all" parents to be wise enough to "get the message" and "act accordingly" is pretty lame cause some parents quite simply shouldn't be parents, and those people are exactly the people who will get ticked off rather than learn. So I don't know what the best answer is, but I can see where it's not beyond reason to try to assure all customers have an enjoyable time, including those without children.

How about you?
