This is a question First World Problems

Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

No.
Because I don't like children. Why would I got to a child friendly restaurant?

If we go away on holiday, I make a point of booking at adult only hotels. Unfortunately there aren't many adult only restaurants. I don't like children in the same way that some people don't like cats. I don't see why that is so hard to grasp. Children ruin everything. Even parents constantly fucking complain about the fact that their kids wake them up at all hours of the night, and that they take a lot of looking after, and it's hard work, and we want to go for nice food too, blah blah blah... I don't care. If life is so fucking hard for you, then you shouldn't have had kids in the first place. I don't want kids for the reasons described above, therefore I'm not going to have any. I think it's a fairly straightforward idea. Just like, "I don't want to set myself on fire, so I won't".

Just because I have children why should I have to eat somewhere shit?
You not liking children isn't good enough reason, I'm afraid.
You can't ask restaurants to keep out types you don't like.
Personally I don't like to see happy couples eating out in restaurants, celebrating their anniversaries, rubbing my nose in it that they still love each other and haven't ruined their lives by having children.

I'm unclear as to whether your problem in restaurants is with babies or older children. With older children I agree with you - they should be brought up to behave properly in public (and at home). But babies will cry occasionally and it can be mildy irritating for some people. They usually get over it though.

Older children.
Babies are just a meaty blob of nerve endings and instinct. I totally accept that they will cry for no reason at any given time. That is no-one's fault.

And my problem isn't really with the kids either. It's with the parents who don't fucking do anything to rectify the matter.

Also - since when can you not keep out "types you don't like"? I've been to adult only restaurants, pubs, hotels... It's not against the law to want a certain type of clientele.
