Child free zones

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19728508

In my opinions there should definitely be child free zones everywhere.

OK, kids are our futures but there are times when you just want to get away from them and have some peace and quiet.

Mind you I do not blame the kids who are unruly, I blame the parents.

What do you think?

Re: Child free zones

Adults should learn to live with young children, especially on planes and trains.
Whatever next, if you don't like children tough, it just shows how intolerant and grumpy you are.

Re: Child free zones

When I had kids I made special note of school holidays so I could take my kids away somewhere. Now they have left home I still make a special note of school holidays so I don't go anywhere during those times.

Re: Child free zones

I don't agree with child free zones on planes or trains. They can be a lot more pleasant than some adults sometimes. I didn't want to sit next to an objectionable, loud mouthed, smelly fat man when I was on a long haul flight, but I had little choice. (No it wasn't my husband). People can always go first class if they wan't to.

Re: Child free zones

Child free zones? TOO RIGHT! Especially on aircraft.

I'd even like to see "Child Free Shopping Days" in supermarkets. I don't "do" shopping (or cooking or anything domestic - I'm married) but on the few occasions that I have had to buy something the way that kids carry on is disgusting.

And many adults are disgusting as well Erinaceous. It's simply a matter of degree. Also being married is no excuse for not doing anything domestic Why should you be exempt from the realities of domestic bliss?

Child free zones would be full of grumpy old people no thank you. I like to see children around.

It was your nose picking and garlic gobbling that started it, Spitfire, but you finished me off when you fell asleep drunk and snoring with your head on my shoulder and arms around me mumbling "mama". That really did it. Did the dentist manage to make a good job of your broken teeth?
