Any parent who has ever taken their kids out to dinner at a fancy restaurant knows how frustrating it can be if their youngsters start screaming, crying, or making a scene in the middle of a quiet dining establishment. While trying to get them to be calm and content, feeling the judgmental glares from the surrounding customers or employees can just make the situation even more stressful. Of course, on the other hand, it is also not so great for the fellow diners, who just want to sit in peace and quiet as they enjoy their meal out. However, should families with children be kicked out of certain restaurants when their kids act out and disturb those around them?
A Mediterranean restaurant in North Wales has been facing a mixed reaction of criticism and praise after their strict list of rules of how children should behave in their establishment was shared on the Internet. While some people commended the restaurant for their policy, others believed their threat of throwing out parents with crying kids to be just too much.

At first, it seemed as if just a normal informative list for diners, providing details about allergy warnings as well as payment options and minimum orders. However, as Hyland kept reading, she came upon a section that read, “Children Welcome.” Sounds nice enough, right? As she read the two lengthy paragraphs that followed, however, she soon learned that it wasn’t just a note, but a list of rules.
