As a senior citizen people who inflict their kids on other people are really annoying. I have never said anything but it really irks me. Come to think of it it irked me before I became a senior citizen. The little darlings that let out a ear piercing scream are the worst!!
Always eat at the bar or choose the smoking section where they still exist even if you don’t smoke.
They don’t have smoking sections anymore even in bars. Smoking is all outside the front door of most places.
One restaurant tried to ban children under 18 and keep smoking here in West Virginia but the health department would not let them.
I was staying at a hotel for business last year when a couple with about 5 kids checked in on my floor. Two of the kids were about 4 or 5 years old and they ran up and down the hallway screaming at 10 pm. I got up and told the parents that I had to get up at 4:00 a.m. to go to work and asked them to keep there kids quiet. They acted like it was a totally unreasonable request. They told me that the kids had been cooped up in the car all day and needed to blow off some steam.
I learned early on that if I needed to discuss something with my wife that might cause a shit-storm, the place to do it was over a restaurant table, where she was loathe to make a scene.
Most hotels nowdays have a gym. You should have told them to take them to the gym and put them on a treadmill for 10 minutes and make them run!
Ever lived in China - particularly South China?
Except for the highest end Western-style restaurants, kids are allowed to roam free in restaurants.
You will see them running, playing tag, crawling under tables, doting grandmothers chasing them around trying to get them to eat. I’ve even had them stop at my table and ask what I’m eating or where I’m from.
Examples like yours are reasons I try to avoid groups of people in general.
My parents would have never allowed me or my sister to act like that.
Perhaps even more annoying is the mess they leave on the table and floor.
And stay off my lawn!
Not allowed. The little darling snowflakes are entitled to run loose lord of the flies style, and if you ask the alpha-mom or her beta-male cuckolded partner to keep their feral children under control, they will literally go ape-shit with indignation at the mere thought, and if you’re lucky, you won’t spend a weekend in jail for even suggesting such abuse as “manners” or “discipline”.
Well, quit eating at Chuck E Cheese then.

I hope you’re joking, but if not, more than a little cowardly. Not to mention ruining a good meal. I don’t like to make a scene, either, but in your case, I’d make an exception.
Darned youngins’! (Words spoken by an old geezer, while shaking his fist).
I almost never eat in restaurants where children are present.
Mathew 19:14
I've seen families walk in and the kids pull bikes and cars down off the racks and ride them around the store like it was a playground! It becomes their own personal playspace, and they leave the place trashed for other shoppers and the workers to clean up after them.
I would have lit my kids butts on fire if they ever misbehaved like that in a store, but it seems parental control of their kids is a thing of the past now...
Oh, it’s true. Discussion is aided by tempered speech, plus the cool down time is shorter. Try it sometime. Unless, you know, screaming fits are your thing.
This is how bad it can get
