The no-kids-allowed movement is spreading

What's the matter with kids today and why doesn't anyone want them around? In June, Malaysia Airlines banned babies from many of their first class cabins, prompting other major airlines to consider similar policies.

Lately, complaints about screaming kids are being taken seriously, not only by airlines, but by hotels, movie theaters, restaurants, and even grocery stores.

I just saw a blog with the original article link from one of pro-life blogs about no kids allowed in some places.

I wonder, what do you think?
 
Areas where it is mostly older people without kids may find this popular.

I don't care for it, as a great many of our family outings involve everybody from almost 90 down to infancy, but we do tend to gather at child friendly locations.
 
Love kids...but not the yelling, screaming or unruly ones! Especially at a nice restaurant that is expensive, all I want to do is enjoy my meal, but not with kids running around screaming or throwing food, etc.
 
I think it might do with bad parenting and a lack of parental responsibility. I already see a few new small restaurants are not allowed 6 and under of the age for kids because it seems the increase rate of misbehaved kids... :(

That's true. The kids in our family are pretty well behaved, and we don't get any complaints.
 
i can understand..there are times i want to be completely away from kids..even well behaved ones. kids dont have to do EVERYTHING their parents do, do they??
 
I know more and more kids are being basically raised in daycare. Less parental involvement. Even school teachers are complaining that more of their time is being spent on things that parents should be doing. This could have a lot to do with it. I know I see more kids being left home without any supervision at younger ages, then when a neighbor complains to the parents about something that happened, then parent will then go on about how they can't be there for their kids and we just have to "suck it up". Some people will say that it's the kids in single parent households that are the worst. Well, I do not agree with that. Most of the real brats or the deadly ones that have been in the news come from 2 parent households.

Too many kids are getting too many things at too young of an age and are being allowed to get away with too much way too early. (Yes, I know, I used "too" more often than I should) There was this big thing and a book out by Hillary Clinton (I think) called "It takes a Village". We need to get back to that kind of thing I think. I remember knowing that if a neighbor said that they would let my parents know what went on, that I knew I was in for some trouble. I remember having a neighbor grounding my brother on his front porch until my father got home for use of profanity. My brother was 12 at the time. He was grounded to his room for 2 weeks after having his mouth washed out with soap. My father would never have known if not for this neighbor. Some people think of that as being a meddling person, but it's not really. If you look at a lot of cultures, they all work together when raising well behaved children and responsible teenagers and adults. We need to get back to that.

Just my 2 cents.
