When mine were babies and would not quickly stop crying one of us would take the baby out of the dining aria and calm it down. Once they were a bit older they were expected to be fairly polite at the table, they could play but not be obnoxious, and were never allowed to run around the room. I was was embarrassed and felt responsible if I thought my kids might be bothering someone else.
Restaurant Banning Loud Children

Hello; Ask the parents to get the children under control, If they can not or will not, then ask them to leave and not come back. I do not go to a resturant to put up with uncivilized children. When the children are able to be civil, then take them out in public.
This also applies to childen running thru, riding a bike thru, racing with shopping carts or tossing balls in a store such as a Wal-mart. I have seen all of these things. In a department store, if you are alert, you can get out of the way.
In a resturant it can be a different story. I have asked to be moved away from loud families.
So yeah, ban them if the parents can not control their kids.

this I understand completely. I think if you let your kids run around you should be asked to leave. but if it's just noise and tantrum from a table, i'd be fine with it as long as the parent(s) is trying to calm them
my kids may be loud, either playing with eachother or laughing and such, but I won't let them run around. and if they have a screaming fit i'd handle it. but if they are just having fun and being a little loud at my table, I really don't give a eff if it bothers anyone
and if they make a mess at the table I still won't tip. someone's being paid to clean up so I won't do it. i'll leave the tipping to the snobs with no kids
Hey now, we're not snobs. Don't call us names because YOU can't control your kids.
Also, I understand you can't take a "snobbish" attitude in many places. If there is an arcade in the corner, or you happen to be there on kids eat free night, I'd understand I'm sol.
Hello; Loud is enough to spoil another persons meal. You have your standards of behavior for yourself and your children. With luck I will never be trying to have a meal where you and your family happen to be.
Lmao x2. Loud and bad tipper.
Depends on the restaurant though.

well, don't misunderstand. I don't let my kids get out of hand. the volume has to be within reason. I would not let them get loud enough to where it would bother me if I was someone else.
but I won't stop them from enjoying themselves. they can do their thing, just keep it respectful. there are often loud adults that dine also. it doesn't bother me in the same way if it were kids.
so I meant that if they are keeping it within a reasonable threshold, and it still bothered someone, that is where I couldn't care less. it's a public place where everyone has the right to go and enjoy themselves. i'm not gonna miss out because some people are whiners and expect the public to keep it down for them
and about the tipping part, I don't owe anyone any extra money than what i'm already paying for in the cost of the food, which is already high enough. it's their employer's job to pay them.
but i'd rather not go there. there are threads where we've beaten that horse well beyond it's death. but in case no one notices, it's just me and eddie trolling eachother. don't pay attention to our talks of tipping or lack there of
