Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

Either I have Stepford Children or people really need to get a handle on their kids.

The latter. I was pretty amused by all the complaints of "that's what kids do." Really? Mine don't, at least not when they're out. I have a funny feeling that these same complainers sure didn't get to act like that if they were out when they were kids either.

I thought discriminating was illegal.

How is a sign stating "children of all ages have to behave and use their indoor voices when coming to A Taste of Heaven" discrimination?

my son is generally well behaved when we take him out. THe worst thing he does is stand on the bencha nd try to talk to the people in the next booth, who usually talk back to him.
My wife will not tolerate him acting up and he usually gets one warning and then a trip to the car, he knows she isn't kidding and usually straightens right up. At home he even knows to go to his room on his own when he is having a tantrum.

Because you are allowing in these kids but not these kids

It'd be the same if a guy was being loud and obnoxious and bothering other customers, right?

I don't think requiring a certain level of behavior is discrimination. That's like saying it's discriminatory to throw loud, obnoxious drunks out of a bar while the quiet, friendly drunks can stay as long as they want.

From my experience though those people are allowed in places.

No he isn't, he is allowing all kids. But to be in there they have to behave. Just like in school it is expected in class you have to shut up and behave or you are sent to the office. For this store if you don't shut up and behave you'll be asked to leave.

well, schools and places of business are treated very differently and have different rules.

Now can we have the 'no kid' theater, please?
