a lot of controversy has stired up over a sign put up at a restraunt reading "screaming children will not be tolerated". Do you think its right to put up this sign? should parents and children be asked to leave if the child is loud or should other have to deal with it?

Can you blame them? People call family services at the drop of a hat. I work at a grocery store and I hear people all the time make comments like "someone better step in before she starts beating that kid" toward a woman who yelled at their temper tantrum throwing child to knock it off. Seriously? Just because someone yells at their child doesn't mean they're going to start beating them. My sister got yelled at by a woman at Walmart once for swatting my niece on the bottom because she was pulling stuff off the hangers and throwing it around. Someone called family services on a friend of mine because instead of teaching her daughter words like "wee wee" or "nonny" she taught her daughter the proper words for male and female genitalia. It's ridiculous.

So as not to discriminate they should broaden the rules.....Add these: Parents screaming at or hitting their children will not be tolerated...Phone conversations will not be tolerated...The "F" word and all combinations will not be tolerated...Disgusting Perfume and Cologne will not be tolerated....etc.
When folks go out to dinner, it is a treat. It is to get away from home and enjoy themselves. It is not to listen to what they could have stayed at home to listen to. If someone does not have children with them, it is either because they left them at home with a babysitter so that they could have a night out without them WhooHoo, or they don't have any. In either case, they do not want to hear screaming kids.
When my first child made the mistake of acting up in a restaurant, I took her out and we sat in the car and watch her father finish his meal. She sat there in amazement. When he came out, he had my dinner in a box, but not hers. He gave hers to the owner's dog. She learned her lesson and quickly taught it to her little sister when she came along. Difficult, but well learned lesson.
