'Family Friendly' does not equal 'allowed to scream as much as they want'

Unfortunately, families dont' seem to understand this. I've witnessed so many children who are allowed to run pell-mell around restaurants, throw food on the floor, shriek like monkeys and generally act like miniature tyrants. I have a hard time believing that the restaurant 'discriminated' against your children because I worked in restaurants for so long...and my general experience was that by the time a manager came to say soemthing to a table about children acting up, the bad behavior had reached the point that other patrons were complaining.
