I've often wished for family/people with no kids sections too, but for completely different reasons. It really irritates me to have people ask to sit somewhere else b/c they don't want to sit by people with children. It actually makes me very sad and angry when a table is about to be seated near us and then they see the kids and ask "Is there someplace else we can sit?"

I would rather sit by other families and not have to endure the dirty looks of people who glare if a child dares to speak a little to loudly or is fidgeting in their chair.

I understand that everyone wants a nice experience when they go out to eat (including me and my family) by I can tell you several times that we have been forced to sit by groups of "young adults" talking loudly, swearing, talking about sexual activities, wearing shirts with f word on them etc., can they get a separate room too??

I also think that kids need to go to restaurants and learn how to properly behave from an early age, otherwise you can't expect them to know how to act.

Lack of parenting is the major issue though as many parents are too busy enjoying their restaurant experience to worry about keeping their kids under control!! Or maybe they let their kids act like that at mealtime at home too??
