No Children Spaces I read this article this morning. As a parent, I have strict rules about taking my children to places that seem appropriate and where other diners should expect to see children. But what frustrates me is when you read about a child whizzing around on its scooter, and the child is being blamed. That's the parents' fault, not the child.
Personally, I do think here are places children shouldn't go if possible because the level of behaviour expected is unrealistic for them. My children are generally well behaved, but they sometimes shout out. And they don't eat everything and they can only sit quietly drawing in a restaurant for less than an hour, so I certainly have no problem keeping them away from The Ivy and ensuring we stick to Pizza Express or similar. But surely the only way to teach them how to behave in public is to take them out in public?!
