Restaurants Banning Children???

Maybe you have heard by now, or maybe this is new to you, but I recently came across an article about a restaurant that has decided to ban children under the age of 6 from their restaurant. I felt that this sort of goes with the article I posted a couple of days ago about how I believe that the best way to teach our children how to behave in public is to put them in the environment and let them learn hands on. If we always leave our children at home when we finally do take them out they are not going to know how to react. Don’t get me wrong, children shouldn’t go everywhere, there is a time and a place, however a restaurant that doesn’t allow children? 

Would you still eat at a restaurant that did not allow children? 

My opinion (and my opinion only) I would absolutely NOT eat at a place that did not allow my children. Even if I’m going out without my children (which doesn’t really happen) I still would not eat at this establishment because of their silly rules. 

I am not sure I completely understand the reasoning behind this rule. I do understand that those without children do not always like to surround themselves with children, but a restaurant? My thought is that many parents with children will probably be offended because they are no longer able to eat at this establishment. Not only are you banning the children, but you are banning the parents of children that can’t get a sitter so that they can go out to dinner.

I guess one restaurant isn’t really going to hurt anything, however I feel like if more restaurants start following in their footsteps it is going to be harder for parents to find a nice place to eat with their children. I hate taking the kids out for fast food all of the time and we love our family time going out to dinner.

There is a law against banning seniors from restaurants, however no law against banning children.

Here is the full article about the Restaurant that banned children if you would like to read it.

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Would you still eat at this establishment? 

Do you think this is a good idea, bad idea? 

What are your thoughts?
