I dont normally post here but had to get my point across. ..

My son has aspergers and ADHD and is one of these 'problem' children. .. He loves going out for a meal in a cafe for a treat for good behaviour.

Should i have to become a recluse just because people are too narrow minded to understand that sometimes children don't conform to the idea of 'normal' behaviour??

So just because there's something wrong with your kid everyone else has to suffer?
That's not how it works I'm afraid.

You have a problem with it? Get over it.

Soon solves the problem!!

I have also been known to walk up to a screaming child, and say to it, can you scream any louder I cannot hear you, that normally also solves the problem!

Your actions appear to be that of a crazy person and I'm surprised you haven't yet been sectioned.

Or have you just posted this on your social half hour?

Hardly, it should simply be common sense that certain locations and activities are not suitable for certain types of people. Nothing wrong with that.
People pay their good hard-earned money to do certain things, it's hardly fair for their activities to be ruined by those unable or unwilling to act appeopriately.

I think kids should be banned from all cafes, restaurants and pubs - can't they just go in places like MacDonalds, and give the rest of us a break?........;)

Other than that, the only supermarket cafe I would bother with is Waitrose - the others ae usually hot, noisy and crowded.

Years ago whilst working in a shop a work colleague did that very thing to a little brat running around knocking things over. He came rushing past and my workmate just thrust his leg out and the kid went flying. Did the job.

Am i not allowed to spend my hard-earned money and should I have to suffer just because people can't see past their own perfect world?? Take off your rose coloured glasses and accept that its not like that. .. We're talking about a cafe in a supermarket, not the Ritz!!

Your view is a bit extreme, plenty of people in this country have behavioural problems and excluding them from something as mundane as shopping/eating in a cafe would be against their basic human rights to say the least.
I could maybe understand if it was doing something dangerous but apart from getting your foot run over by a wayward trolley or crumbs in your lap I don't see how this example falls into that category.

Reminds me of a wedding I attended some years back. After the formal part of the reception I was chatting with the vicar who conducted the service. There were a number of small children running around and letting off steam after being restrained for the service and formal reception.
Two youngsters ran head-on into each other in front of us and collapsed into a wailing heap. We picked them both up and handed them over to their parents, who led them away.
The vicar turned to me, slowly shaking his head and said:- "You know, at times I think King Herod was a much misunderstood man"
