If your kids might scream, don't go to Olde Salty restaurant in Carolina Beach.
WRAL-TV reports that the restaurant has posted a sign that reads "screaming children will not be tolerated." Crying babies seem to be OK though, at least according to the owner. Watch the video for more details.
So would the sign make you more or less inclined to eat there?

I now believe that without their discipline, I would have probably felt empowered to screw up my life. Thanks to them I never took that route.
I am now in a position of career success to not only thank them regularly for the diligent upbringing they gave me, but I look forward to repaying them by making sure they are as comfortable as possible and well taken care of as seniors.
I guess hindsight really is 20/20. Don't be a lazy lacky, invest the time to discipline your kids. They WILL thank you later.

You can tell yourself whatever you like to justify it but the rest of us know the truth. Why even bother having kids anyway? Really, what's the point of having a kid if you're only going to spend 40 hours a week with them? If your argument is that both parents have to work to make ends meet perhaps you can't afford to have children & shouldn't have had them in the first place?
The fact that restaurants are having to ban misbehaving children speaks loud & clear about what a fantastic job you working moms are doing! Congrats.

If your child is disturbing me, take that thing out. If you want to enjoy a night out, get a babysitter or take advantage of safe haven laws. Why do people feel the need to have a child? It is totally ok to not have children, seriously you people. Lickad GOLO member since June 16, 2010 September 9, 2010 8:04 p.m
I take your comment offensviely because guess what, you used to be a "thing", too. Who cares if you don't want/like kids? In that case, you can leave! Kids are EVERYWHERE, so get used to it, or at least learn to tolerate the situation. And to address your question about the need to have children...most normal human beings possess normal, natural tendencies to procreate. It's human instinct. But if you don't feel that need to procreate, then thank you!

Where do you eat that this is a problem? umop apisdn GOLO member since September 9, 2010 September 9, 2010 9:42 a.m
I've had the displeasure of bumping heads with an annoying "adult" (and I use that term loosely!) in an Applebee's. There's an answer to your question, sir/madame.

Kudos the the Restaurant for this policy. We need many more here in the local Raleigh area as well. This was posted by DaveTonyNC.
Mr. DaveTonyNC, As a parent, let me remind you that though we as parents do indeed teach our children that "hollering and nonsense" isn't tolerated at home, much less out in public, it still happens from time to time! And what about those kids whom are autistic or have some other medical condition that cannot help themselves? Are you discriminating against a human due to a medical condition? Isn't that a form of discrimination due to handicap, which lays ground for a la
