There is a sign in a restaraunt at Lake Tahoe that says.

Unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten.

This one is good, too.

That's cute. Probably a better way to go.

Although, why not a sign that says:

"for the safety of your children and other patrons please do not allow them to go unattended."

LOL! Love that one JigSaw. Santa

Children who are allowed to run amok and misbehave might as well be unattended because in actuality they are.

Free, I truly enjoyed the sign. I even took a picture of it.

This is a cafe in a tourist town. It has an ice cream parlor and serves a bustling crowd. It is so hard for the servers to maneuver through the tables, let alone worry about little ones underfoot.

I have witnessed many more adults acting out/acting obnoxious in public than I have children.

True!!!!!

Very often an adult is blocking part of an aisle standing there chatting,unaware, on their phone impeding what people are there to accomplish. Kids don't have a monopoly on bad store behavior by a long shot. The last time I heard screaming at a store was from an adult.

I had the best behaved children when they were little. When we were invited to someone's house, they would go right over and sit on the sofa, one after another, all four, like ducks in a row.

When we went out to eat, they would sit down at the table or in the booth, and not move around; they would ask me if they needed to use the restroom and I would accompany them.

And I am talking about 3 to 7 year-olds here. I don't remember us ever having to "teach" them these manners, they just behaved that way in public.

They had their rowdy times of course, when playing outside or in the playroom. But never in a public place or at someone's home.

There are many adults walking around seemingly normal with a seething anger waiting for a reason to direct it at a convenient target, other people's children being one.

Try to chill out. If you get hurt by an unruly child, you can always sue.
