Agreed. A wailing, crying baby CAN get on my nerves ... especially now, since most of the times I'm out to eat, it's to get away from that exact sound and enjoy adult conversation! BUT ... I also know that sometimes babies will cry for no apparent reason. They're just unhappy in that moment, and unless the parents are ignoring their wails and letting it get out of hand, I'm pretty forgiving. You're exactly right, it's the kids who are walking around, school-age kids acting foolish with no attention being paid from mom and dad that are the real bother. I was at Salvation Army a few weeks ago and this woman was going through the racks, yelling for her four kids probably aged 4-10. Yelling at two of the kids asking where the other two were. Yelling for the two kids not in her sight to come to her. Yelling for the two kids in her sight to go get the other two. Yelling for the two kids in her sight to stop fighting. It never occurred to her to lift her eyes up from what she was doing and get her kids under control. But in these restaurants banning kids 6 and under, by my estimate three of those four kids would be allowed. And I'm CERTAIN would be far more disruptive to a meal than the minute of crying from a baby while mom and dad tried to figure out what was wrong and fix it.
