‘I don’t come here to enjoy other people’s children!’ Should pubs and restaurants be kid-free zones?

Children were once banned from most British pubs. Some owners and customers miss ‘the good old days’ – but can they really turn back the clock?

    Yeah, people seem to have forgotten that parenthood is a sacrifice. I’m in no way saying people who have children shouldn’t be allowed in public, but there is a time and place for kids. Personally, I wouldn’t want my kids around a bunch of drunk people, if I were a parent.

    What’s next strip clubs?

      Exactly, I get you have kids and you have a hard time finding sitters and everything, but parents chose to have kids. It’s not some great secret that parenthood takes up time and means sacrificing these things, that’s why I’m choosing not to. I don’t view those as excuses personally, if you are a parent then you need to find someone to watch your kids if you want a night out, that’s the trade off. Not change everywhere you want to go into a “family friendly” place, or you know, go to a family friendly place.

        But then they have to deal with other people’s kids. Yuck. Who wants that?!?!? Yes, I’ve heard parents say that, when in a not kid appropriate place, with their kids.

      Oh, shit, that’s a great idea. Finding a strip club to drink in.

      I wonder if there’s one around here with a good lunch menu lol
