If my daughter can't behave in public, you won't see her at any restaurant whether or not they don't mind if she behaves badly.
The sign mentioned in the article said:

I find it offensive. I would express my offense by not patronizing that establishment. I would not be offended by a sign that said: "We love PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, especially when they're tucked into chairs and behaving." I run into obnoxious adults at cafes and restaurants far more frequenty than obnoxious children.
I'm probably oversensitive. Last week someone at my child's daycare complimented me when I properly disciplined my daughter in front of them. I had a strong desire to say: "F** you. Mind your own F***ng business."
I make sure that my daughter behaves properly. I don't appreciate random people commenting on how I parent or should parent whether it's a compliment or a criticism. Again, I'm probably oversensitive.
