Okay I know I am going to catch hell for this, but I sort of like the idea of a place other than a bar where children are not allowed...Now I am not a person who hates children, but I am a person who believes there are just some situations that are for ADULTS ONLY. I would never go to a restaurant that was obviously a kid friendly place and expect there would not be hoards of children, but at times I would like to go out with other adults to a nice place and not have to deal with the possibility of the child at the table next to us interrupting our conversation, having a temper tantrum or whining loudly. Moreover, I suppose it is not kids that bother me but the attitude of many parents, that those of us that do not have kids need to be sensitive to their parenting needs...Meaning how other adults are always expected to sympathize with the parent of the screaming 5 month old that arguably should not be out at 9pm, or we are supposed feel bad when we ask to change seats on the plain upon discovering we are sitting next to a toddler, or how we are supposed to put up with having a breast feeding lounge in our lawschool library, or we are supposed to pick up the slack at work for the people who chose to have kids but still want a fast track career...Now again I do not hate children, but I feel just as in some situations people without kids are expected to be considerate to parents they owe the same consideration and should not feel entitled to others making accomodations for their kids or suffering through a meal with a whiney uncontrollable little tike next to them. This is truly how I feel, and so sorry if I offend anyone, but I am not ready for kids and I know this so I do not have them, and I cannot understand the mentality people have that we all should be so understanding and give defference to those who do. |
