HOW is it possible that 75% of American adults believe kids don’t belong inside of a restaurant????

75% of Americans apparently have zero respect for their own families and it shows
When I go out to eat, if I don't want to be around kids I make sure to go to places that are for adults, like a bar that serves food and you have to be 21 to eat there. Other than that, if I go to a diner or a regular restaurant, I fully expect kids to be there, and I don't mind as long as their parents aren't letting them run around yelling and screaming like wild animals. Most of the time, I would rather be around the kids and not the parents.
For me I avoid public spaces and restaurants as much as possible.
I love kids, but my super rare hearing an inner ear issue can't handle the screams of kids, dogs bark or loud sirens.
I don't watch tv anympre because of unpredictable soynds same with music.
I CC most of my YouTube videos will watching.
Generally I don’t mind children in public spaces. That being said it would be nice if babies were not international flights. One time I was on a flight from the US to Amsterdam and a baby screamed the WHOLE TIME!!! The baby was miserable, all the other passengers on the plane were miserable, and the parents were the most miserable. For years I said bringing a baby on a flight like that should be illegal. Now I don’t know but I probably won’t take my kids on an international flight until they understand about their ears popping.
Restaurants should be required to serve real food. Not this poison they serve.
Kids belong in public spaces and their parents should keep their behavior within normal bounds.
This is the result of microwaves TVs and phones families do not eat together as a group anymore as children we were set at a family dining table every day of our lives almost and we were taught to behave from a very young age
I got my cellphone in high school. It wasn't a flagship or anything, just a standard phone. I never understood why when I saw elementary school kids with the latest flagship phone.
Sorry but if people can’t handle kids at restaurants & public spaces, they need to just stay home for the rest of their lives. My kids go with me wherever I go & I do discipline them in public if they are misbehaving. Most parents are afraid to discipline in public because of people filming & claiming they are abusing their child. Not even spanking or raising their voice because of backlash.
So many wet blankets out there. I like the pub style- everyone doing their thing and having a good time.
I don’t go to a restaurant with my wife, to her someone’s kids screaming and crying.
Yes, adult only spaces are just fine. If you want to go to a public place with your child go where they are welcoming. See there we can have the best of both worlds.
You don't take kids in public, they don't learn how to act in public.
I think there are already "adults only sections." I believe they call it a bar or lounge.
Unruly children? I have seen adults in restaurants doing actions that would make the children cry!
My husband and I raised two daughters who were taught early how to behave in public because WE were taught how to behave in public. A baby will make noises that it really can't control, it's just learning how to make noises. When it's a toddler that keeps randomly screaming frequently and the parent does nothing to stop that behavior it's bad parenting. When you allow your 4+ child to yell, scream, run around like a feral puppy it's a serious parenting problem.

People this days are becoming more and more sensitive to all sorts of thing!! BUT DON'T SAY TO ME WHERE I CAN AND CAN NOT TAKE MY KIDS! But we need to know how to handle them!
I’d be ok with that. It would attract all the worst adults into one place and make it easier for me to avoid them. Win-win.
Kids belong in public places, it’s their parents that don’t. Children should not have smart phones. They should only have mobile phone until the age of 16 then they can use smart phones.
I am happy to exclude myself from restaurants.
Kids aren't all that unruly, it is the Karens that are a problem.
There are some adults that shouldn't be out in public.
My baby was one of those naturally happy babies who got complimented everywhere we went. We were living in Germany and were sitting in a restaurant while she was making little cooing noises, not crying, just happily cooing.
A woman who apparently didn’t like kids came and sat right next to us, even though there were plenty of other open tables, and kept giving my baby dirty looks every time she cooed. One of the ladies with me finally gave her a look that basically said, “Go ahead, try that again.” The dirty looks stopped after that. 😂
