Since supposed adults do not discipline their children, business are resorting to excluding unruly children and their childish parents.
Society has become so stupid and bothersome that we’ve stopped going to many places.
Lost me right there.
The parents with their incessant babbytalk is worse than the kids themselves on planes.
LOL! Having as many kids as you do probably affords a unique perspective ;-)
The wife and I go to Sandals Resorts, no kids allowed.
Well free range children and (Wal-Mart orphans) never learn manners or etiquette. Parents are to busy being kids to teach their kids, when I was a child you followed your parent with your hands in your pockets. If you broke it you bought it. Now kids are unattended and playing with the toys in the aisles. That’s why I call them orphans.
It’s not that my kids are bad, and we often do things that are fun. Working at camp is nice. We spent the night on the USS Yorktown. We go hiking at parks and stuff.
However, my dream vacation is my husband’s taking the children to the beach, while I stay home with the pets, a long recorded book, and lots of cleaning supplies.
:D
This included 14 hour flights to and from Japan where we lived 1988-2002. When it got boring they slept or Dad and Mom would walk the aisles with them until they got tired enough to sleep or go back to their sticker books or coloring books or baby dolls or (in my youngest daughter's case) hand tools.
That’s my dream, and I don’t even have kids. When he goes away for awhile, I can finally get the house straightened up ;-)
No problem with children on airplanes. As long as they travel as checked baggage.
Saying that necessary travel with your children wasn’t really any more awful than necessary travel without your children is not at all the same as, “Traveling with kids can be fun ...”.
They say, “A change is as good as a rest.”
This is true!
Not to mention all the other people who may not want to be bothered by other people's children.
I find it’s accurate. A week at the beach with the family is not a rest: it’s taking my regular job on the road. I want my own vacuum cleaner!!!
On the other hand, a week running an archery range at Cub Scout camp is a rest. Might be working all day in the blazing heat, but my children (who are campers or camp staff) are adequately supervised by others.
“Kid Free” or “Quiet?” I want quiet...like a restaurant where you cannot FULLY UNDERSTAND a conversation being held 50 feet from you! I would pay more for a QUIET restaurant. I’m not sure they exist any more.
Sometimes I just need to see something new that makes new images and ideas swirl around in my head - a visit to an art gallery or museum, or a park or other natural place I’ve never seen, will do it.
