[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I support the right of business to be child-free however it would not affect my doing business with them either way.

I live in a odd area of the world because I rarely see a out-of-control kids. There was a little tike running around last Saturday between the tables at the ice cream shop. He made a half a round before dad caught him up and said in a low but firm voice, "ok, that's enough bud. We don't do that here."

Kid went and sat down and ate his ice cream.

Those kinds of kids I have no problem with.

I think if I ran into some of the horror stories other people do I would have a different opinion.

We're in Mississippi, and don't see it often. Our girls both went to etiquette classes starting at 3, and at 5 the class included dining.

We only take them to family friendly places, and they know that there is a smack on the bottom coming if the get out of line.
