    Kids in public

    I agree that it's reasonable to expect kids to be more or less controlled in public, but I wouldn't go to a restaurant that had a sign posted warning parents to control their kids. I'd assume the owner was a dick and go somewhere else. I feel the same about no kids at weddings- a boring, restrictive concept dreamed up by boring people who don't know enjoy the little ones of the world. What if women had a lot of children as they used to? Would we all be banned from "adult" places until menopause? Even when I was childless, I understood the distastefulnes of the anti-children adults. Cut parents some slack, none of us were any better when we were babies.
