Do you agree that certain restaurants should ban children under a certain age?

Reservations soar at restaurant that has BANNED children after losing patience with crying, screaming and misbehaving minors

A North Carolina restaurant's ban on children 5 and younger has seen a spike in diners.

Since banning young children, Caruso's, described as an upscale Italian restaurant in Mooresville, North Carolina, has seen reservations increase from 50 to 80 daily.....

There was one time a girl was reportedly using an iPad with the volume loud and her parents refused to turn it down after waitstaff asked them to, said Yoshi Nunez, the manager of Caruso’s restaurant.
'Finally, we had to ask them to leave. They were upset, but they didn’t seem to care about what the other guests thought,' Nunez told The Washington Post.

I never understood people who bring young children to restaurants and I'm the mother to soon - to - be 7 children.
There is take out for a reason! Little kids get bored at restaurants and isn't right that they disrupt the other paying customers and isn't fair of the parents to expect the young one to sit quietly and still for that long.
I never brought mine out, until they could prove to me that they could stay sitting and behave during a meal. I either left them home with one of their older siblings, while my husband and I dined (on special occasions), or I ordered food to be delivered home for everyone.

I didn't take mine for a few years to a regular restaurant because she had a tendency to turn around and stare at people which is rude...we either went to a fast food restaurant and sat in a side table not frequently used by customers or carried out food. One time while we were sitting on a side area right next to the restrooms I got to overhear drug traffickers persuading my rural neighbor to make another trip down south, I dummied up and acted like I was talking to my daughter while listening with the other ear.
