Pretty sure my mother had a wooden spoon factory in the attic.. No one ever cared if I went to school with bruises.. 'did you learn your lesson' was all that was asked... My mother sent a letter to the principal of the school.. if I were to act up I should be paddled till I could no longer sit.. she did not have the time to pick me up from detention... we lived 20 miles from school.. many times I made that walk.
There was never a time I can recall throwing a tantrum in public.. if there is.. i'm sure there is a reason I don't remember it.. I was probably unconscious.
A few of our friends have children that truly impress with their manners. Sadly, for every one of those kids, there's a bakers dozen that have me cursing fertility clinics that help those that nature frowned upon have little monsters. Some of these medically-achieved wonder children were apparently so hard to conceive that the parents won't even consider discipline of any sort.
You guys sound like a bunch of ol libs! If you don't like kids go to "adult places" like the bar. Regulating peoples freedom of where they can take the family to dinner is like regulating where they can carry guns right? Pick my healthcare for me to while your at it would ya![]()
Telling a business owner they can't pick and choose who they do business with is a little left sided to me.
Just sayin.

Just sayin, kids now a days have no maners what so ever!! My Niece, she has manners, and if she gets out of line, the parrents " my bro & sis in law" set her straight. WITH OUT contact of any kind!!! All verbal! Other family's yell, scream, etc and it gets them now where!!!!
