You people are going about this the wrong way! It should be no parents that cant control their kids movement! Parents that actually take the time and control their kids, that keep an eye out for their kids and stop a meltdown before it happens, or simply leave or step out until things are under control are being punished because of idiot parents. This is crazy! I have a year and a half old daughter that has never caused any problems in public places, and if I see a problem coming up I.... More
I definately agree with not taking kids to upscale restaurants and only a moron would continue to sit in a movie with a crying child. It's fine with me if airlines want to offer childfree flights. However, those flights should cost more, as first class tickets are more. Such a flight is a luxary and should be treated as such. Having childfree shopping hours is ridiculous. You shop for groceries to buy food, not have an exhilirating experience. I certainly don't let my older kids pull any crap.... More
It is a great idea - my husband and I would definitely go to a kid-free restaurant and/or movie. Kids are great, we have a 9 year old but sometimes adults want time for themselves, nothing wrong with this, it's actually quite healthy. And when we go out with our kid we'd take him to a kid-friendly restaurant. Let adults have adult time, enjoy the company of your spouse, significant other or friends.
Now can we do something about teenagers????
LOVE this idea. I can't tell you how many movies or dinners in restaurants have been ruined by screaming and yelling kids, even throwing food - if I knew of any child-proof restaurants or movie theaters in the area, my husband and I would go there immediately. Perhaps if more parents had better control over their kids, then we wouldn't need to have this - when I was a child and we went out anywhere, we behaved impeccably because if we didn't, we knew we wouldn't get taken out again - but....

Thank you for admitting, as a parent, that you too would enjoy child free settings. That warms the cockles of my little childfree heart :-) I am childfree by choice. I love kids, when they are other people's! I love my nieces and nephews and delight in spoiling them rotten (what else are Aunt's for!?) I like spending time with my friend's children as well. And I looooove babies. I am first in line for a chance to snuggle a baby, and have spent hour after hour with a newborn niece or.... More
I agree with the author. I love kids and have my own, but would never consider taking them to a evening movie or a upscale restaurant. The truly sad thing is that they exist, because parents are either thoughtless, careless, and competely lacking in common sense.
of course there are some of us that raise their children proper, teaching how to behave in public.
Consider the cycle of life and the demographic bullies on the block: the Boomers. 50s: Everything childhood dominates. 60s: Everything coming of age and rebelling dominates. 70s: Everything single and swinging dominates. 80s: Everything children dominates. 90s: Everything about planning and saving for children's futures dominates. Now? I'm beginning to think that many people in their late-50s and 60s (and their disposable income) have the same attitude about kids and raising kids that they once.... More
This is absolute nonsense and I cannot believe that this can even be considered!
