Yep. I've literally seen a kid climb a wall at Target with his mom RIGHT THERE. "Oh he's fine." No your kid is trying to reach light fixtures, I'm pretty sure he's not fine.
My husband & I will raise him good.
Target kids are nuts! A kid try scanning items while the cashier was already doing so. Another one almost hit me full on with a cart. While another one stood in front of the candy at line opening & eating the candy.

All kids have good and bad days no matter how they're raised. I don't let mine climb up the walls but sometimes they throw fits in the store too. We just always leave if that happens. Thankfully it's a rare occurrence now.
I'm 26, I do not plan on having kids, I do not want them.
I would come to this restaurant regularly, just for this very reason.
It's not the children I don't like, it's the parenting. Bad children directly reflects bad parenting, No exceptions.
We have to have PhD's to treat people, but any able bodied person can have a child.
Ug, rant over.
I think this is not really a great solution for the problem of quests annoying each other.
Children can be very quiet.
Also how do you define the term children? Is a 16 year old still a child, a 14 year old, a 10 year old?
Is there a policy against adults who behave annoyingly?
There's no such thing as a bad kid it's whoever is raising them. If I had a restaurant I'd shame bad parents idgaf especially the ones too busy on their phones or giving more attention to their new gf/bf. Like they have to learn a lesson.
Serious question, my son is a year and half when we go to a restaurant and he's hungry so he starts to get fussy. I bring snacks and whatever I can to hold him over but he's still getting upset because it isn't enough. What do you expect me to do? He isn't screaming on the top of his lungs the whole time but he lets out some yells. If I pull him out of the high chair he will want to run around every where. Please don't say just stay at home if I know he will be that way. I won't sit at home and never go out to avoid it. I know going out a lot shows him how to act in public. But in those cases what is it that I'm expected to do?
Several options
1)Stay at home until he's old enough to behave himself.
2)Hire a babysitter.
3)Go somewhere where it is expected to have kids acting up.
Or 4) Leave if he starts acting up.

I've got a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old and sometimes they still do that too. Does he like coloring? Or is there a little toy he really likes that you could bring with you? I think it helps if it's something special like he only gets to play with it when you're out. Sometimes those work for us. There's always a game on a cell phone too although that's the last resort for me before just leaving. Sometimes that helps too if they know you'll just walk out and eat at home if it gets too bad. But he might not be able to learn that yet. Hope some of that helps.
#3 from felixo is a great idea of you still want to go out. Let him practice behaving well in public in a place where (hopefully) people will be more understanding if he does act up.
He's never obnoxiously horrible just starts getting a little loud. If it ever got the the point of screaming I would walk out. But I've never took him anywhere really nice. Usually places like Village Inn. I was just curious of what people expected.

That could be a toss up. I wouldn't mind it in that context but perhaps some people would. My grandma used to get a bit impatient with things like that. I used to as well until I had my own. 8-D
I was a caregiver for a while and I took my patient to the store, a kid walked in front of her cart and she almost hit the kid. Seriously no big deal and she went on a 20 min rant about how kids are little shits. I was like calm down lady. Lol so yea, some people are just crazy about that stuff. But yea when he gets fussy and he's not screaming but starting to get crazy I get nervous people think I'm doing a crap job parenting. But I'm trying my best.

I used to get pretty judgmental about that. But now that I've experienced them throwing tantrums in stores and having to walk out with them I get it. I'm trying my best too. It's really all we can do.

And valid point: If an adult is going to act like a child, they get to be treated like a child. They get to leave.
1)Stay at home until he's old enough to behave himself.
2)Hire a babysitter.
3)Go somewhere where it is expected to have kids acting up.
