The discussion centers around a cafe owner, Dan McCauley, who posted a sign in his establishment aimed at encouraging children to behave appropriately. Many participants express support for the sign, arguing that cafes and restaurants should be quiet spaces where well-behaved children are acceptable, but unruly ones are not. There is a consensus that parents should take their children to more suitable venues if they cannot control their behavior. Some participants share personal anecdotes about disruptive children in public spaces and criticize parents who allow their kids to misbehave without intervention. The conversation also touches on the idea that discipline is essential for children to learn proper behavior in public settings. Overall, the thread reflects a strong sentiment against allowing uncontrolled children in cafes, with many advocating for the right of business owners to set rules regarding child behavior.

Hardly. As kids my brothers, cousins, and I pretty much only ate out at McDonalds. Which is not to say we ate there often, we usually ate at home. But our parents were smart enough to know not to take a half dozen kids under 10 to somewhere nice. I think the only times we ever ate in nice places were religious functions, first communion banquets, a few wedding banquets, etc. And none of us became McChildren. In fact, my grand parents once came to visit and thought I was anorexic. Until we had dinner anyway.
Alas, even that isn't bearable. You still have to be in the same car with them.

Thank God I got a http://www.wimp.com/brats/ .
