In reply to the discussion: Popular Tampa pizza restaurant bans all children [View all]Madam Mossfern
(2,340 posts)23. Totally agree with you
I have four children (now grown). When my husband and I would steal a night out to ourselves, we did not want to see or hear children. Also, we wouldn't take our children to any place where their noise level would be disturbing. Even if your child is very very well behaved, it doesn't guarantee that all children are that way.
Also - it's not fair for the kids to make them sit still and be quiet while they wait for food, or for their parents finish eating.
