I agree with you.

Child-free restaurants are a good idea. Not that I hate kids or anything, having been one myself once, and I have two of my own and three grandkids, but geez...other patrons are spending good money for a nice, stress-free meal and screaming, wild savage kids ruin it for everyone.

What bothers me isn't so much that some of these kids are bored to tears and tired and cranky and acting up a little bit.

No....the ones I want to hit over the head are the parents who allow their kids to scream and run loose all over the place. Actually that goes for any public place. And the parents are just oblivious, for petes sake...

Kids can't help being tired and cranky and the parents can't always accommodate their schedules, but they they sure as hell can do something about teaching their rude little urchins some manners.
