So he put up the sign. Then things really got ugly.

Below a sign from a restaurant owned by a family member. This family member had plenty of offspring (3 kids), and is also a grandmother.

"I love people who don't have children who tell you how to parent," said Alison Miller, 35, a psychologist, corporate coach and mother of two. "I'd love for him to be responsible for three children for the next year and see if he can control the volume of their voices every minute of the day."

You may not be able to control their volume, but you can control their location. Which means if they cannot behave, remove them from the location and bring them to some where that isn't offending to EVERYONE around them, which means YOUR OWN LIVING SPACE.

"I think that the mothers who allow their kids to run around and scream, that's wrong, but kids scream and there is nothing you can do about it. What are we supposed to do, not enjoy ourselves at a cafe?"

Answer: Yes. You chose to have kids. It's called MAKING SACRIFICES. I choose to not have children so that I don't have to make such sacrifices.

"It's his business; he has the right to put whatever sign he wants on the door," Miller said. "And people have the right to respond to that sign however they want."

Vote with your wallet. You don't like it don't patronize the business. But, "Oh but they make the best blah blah blah..." Too fucking bad. Have some stones and conviction, oh right you don't have any because you cannot get your kids to shut up or behave properly.
