Dear Scott and Kelly,
am listening to your commentary regarding the restaurant banning kids - what the issue comes down to whether you are for or against the policy is the right of the private business owner to make the rules - that is part of our American freedom. On the other side of the coin, we have the government trying to regulate what we eat - i.e. - healthy food in restaurants for kids - although the restaurants that are agreeing to do this are doing so "voluntarily" - they are succumbing to enormous pressure being put on them by the government - that is an example of our eroding freedoms - I believe we are not too far from the day that many of these will be gone - many are already gone. As Americans, we need to be attentive to all that is happening in the light of the governing documents that men inspired by God fought and struggled to put in place for us. It is interesting that the restaurant subject has come up today as my husband and I were able to go on a date to an upscale restaurant as our son is away on a missions trip thus we were able to have a date. Although I made the decision not to let the noise of several children - very young and screaming at the top of their lungs ruin our dinner, it was VERY irritating. I'm sorry, while the kids are young, go eat at cheap places that are kid friendly or bring in Chinese or something if you need to have a date. I never took my child to a nice restaurant until the age of six and as soon as he misbehaved, he went to the car to sit until he got himself together. Life is good now - we can trust him in any situation. The truth is that many parents just aren't considerate and allow the child to rule them. O.K. - I've vented now - thanks for listening -
