I think what the sign is trying to get across is children who run around and create dangers to themselves and others.

The sign is absolutely true. Parents who love their children make sure their children behave in a way that will make them acceptable in the world. They spend the time finding ways to teach their children proper behavior. They aren't lazy, on their cell phones, while their children run around possibility knocking down displays on themselves or others.

It's a back handed snarky sign. Not smart business.

So no one who's loved their kids have ever had them misbehave? I find that impossible to believe. Kids are kids and some will act out on occasion regardless of how much they're loved. It happens.

When that happens I take them out. How else will they learn their behavior is unacceptable in public?

My comment wasn't about what to do when kids misbehave. It's about the fact that the sign says their manners reflect your love for them. Not true at all.

I disagree. Lazy parents don't want to take the time to teach their children manners. Those who love their kids will put forth that effort for they know having manners when dealing with others will only make their children's lives a little easier now and in the furture.

My sentiments exactly!

Would you prefer one that told parents that they will be asked to leave if their children misbehave or that they will be charged a disturbance fee if their children create one.

So when a child misbehaves in public, which will happen, then that means the parent doesn't love the child?

I'm all for teaching manners. That isn't the issue I have with this sign.

Absolutely, why insult every customer with that stupid sign?

Heaven forbid if a parent with a brat for a child gets insulted.

IMO, the sign would be perfectly fine if it didn't include what's in the parentheses. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been disturbed by misbehaving kids in public. That includes flying, which I do often.
