There was something similar here and it was debated on the BBC radio.
Some parents have no respect for other diners and there is a time and place for kids to 'learn' social skills. Some places do an 'early-bird scheme' take your kids before 6.30pm and they go free etc.
We went for an evening meal with our friends on their anniversary. There was a young couple with a squalling baby clearly embarrassed doing their utmost to settle the baby. The grandparents were there and it dawned us the grandparents were revelling in the baby and the attention (even though it was the wrong sort). Eventually after the baby being taken out into the gardens and the parents taking turns to eat their courses the grandparents relented and paid the bill. The parents were both already outside before the credit card had cleared!
It spoilt everyone evening.
If I went to say- Pizza Hut then I expected kids (and later badly behaved adults- who should know better)
