public places should be open to everybody.
private places are different because they may be a place of sin.
No kids allowed, no me.
why??????
well if it is not fit for kids why would I, an adult go??????
No kids allowed then it is a place of sin as far as I am concerned.

and if you think kids make people behave....obviously you havent been to some of the same places or seen some of the things I have....if some people want to do something they have no problem dragging their kids through the gutter.But yeah...kudos for them...

That must mean that you also refuse to read many threads on AFF.

nicely put in a nutshell. I agree

To me, no kids = relaxation. Sometimes we take family trips and vacations, and other times its just for my husband and me. When its the latter, I appreciate places that are kid-free.

It's so weird that some of you can only think of sinful reasons to have kids out of the picture.

Why do you make so much sense? lol

I think I understand it.

In Paris we were refused service in a high end restaurant because we had a one year old with us. I was surprised but I did understand the policy.

I hate flying but the two times i did because i had to, ended with me wishing they were not only banned , but tossed, on those flights. They were alone and absolutely out of control, the flight attendant was like, oh honey, dont paint your face ,mommy wont be happy ,and a couple of us passengers are going, can we paint their little mugs?

I agree with RandyWayne.

I did get a laugh that some of you twisted my words around. I was trying to be nice and not be lewd about what I meant.But it went over some of your heads.
There is nothing wrong with getting away for a week end. I was questioning the moral effects of banning children. jesus never banned children!!!!!
When the dicsples sent the children away jesus rebuked the 12.
I also noticed that a few of you added words to my statement.
Is it wise to go someplace that bans children????????
It is usaully a place of sin that does that.
A few years ago I went over seas, the children in the Ukraine walked in singe file and said no maam and no sir or put a yes there. They were very polite.
A friend of mine then came to the USA and could not believe how bad our children behave.
Once more I will say that everybody needs time away-like a week end.That is not banning children.

I decided not to read any of the post so that I could say what I wanted and not feel like I was going along with the crowd.

I had a VERY laid back child. From the get go, he was EASY to be with, easy to correct and still to this day, is very respectful.

I started him being around others from the moment he was born. I took him to Camp Meeting at three weeks old. (I would not do that now, but as I young mom, I wanted to show him off)

When Cameron was just past two years old, we went to Camp Meeting. After church one night, we met up with Family and Friends and went to a really nice place to eat. Cameron started acting up, which was unusual. But with all the family and attention, my child became unruly. My husband got up, took him outside. Not realizing that the WHOLE side of the resturant was glass, my husband procedes talk with Cameron and then whipped him. Cameron cried. Raymond comforted him and talked to him some more.

When Raymond walked back into the resturant, an Elderly minister walked up to him and shook his hand. Raymond was a bit confused. The man took Raymond to the side of the resturant and showed him the plate glass window and explained that everyone saw my husband discipline Cameron. He said that not many people would take charge of their child the way that Raymond did.

Raymond and I both decided from before we got married how we wanted out children to act in public. Neither of us wanted to be a grouch when it came to correcting our children. Now...it could have backfired on us and we could have had a hellion on our hands,but honestly, WE PRAYED for Cameron to have a gentle spirit and a good disposition.

Due to having such a good child, I cannot stand when I go out to eat, to church or anywhere else there are children and see them disrespecting their parents or the place that we are at.

So all that being said and I know it is TMI, but I favor having "no children" in places. It gives all the single's a place to go and not have to deal with other parents little people. And BTW parents....PLEASE LEARN TO CORRECT YOUR CHILD AND TEACH THEM HOW TO ACT OUT IN PUBLIC. That way, other people will treat you and your child with respect when they come in contact with you and not run in the opposite direction.
