*sniff sniff* And thanks, lurkette. Yes I do.

I'm with ya... sort of. I have two kids. Pretty much grown. My wife and I are amused by kids looking at us like you described, as long as he's not throwing shit, or screaming, or otherwise being a pain in the ass. My wife thinks it's "cute," and that's all it takes to start her down memory lane regarding "when ours were that age."
That said, the whole issue boils down to whether or not the parents maintain proper behavior of their little precious.
OTOH, for those people who just want to go to a place where they don't have to put up with kids, I can sympathize. However, I imagine it's against the law to specify an age limit in a restaurant, as opposed to a bar. The law needs to be changed.
When I see a disgusting snot-nose around, I just tell myself that a human needs to be exposed to pathogens to keep the immune system working properly.
I THINK that might be true. In any case, it's my story and I'm sticking to it, because it makes me feel better.
