Ohhh i loathe people like this. They muddy the waters on bad parenting so hard.
When you've got ... kids jumping in the pool
This is called being a child. It is normal. The world does not cater to you exclusively, sit the fuck down. You are making it harder for the rest of us to get bad parents to stop letting their kids eat paint in bunnings
Random Woman Has Random Opinion: More at 11!
Rage bait.
This woman will cop plenty of hate on social media.
How daft do you need to be to say these things to the media and let them use your name and photo?
This is a stupid take. The problem is only parents who aren't teaching their kids properly.
A bit of noise from some slightly rowdy children is not a big deal.
Let's not further isolate our society. Parents should feel free to bring their kids along places so they can still socialise.
I say this as someone without children.
There’s a café in Berlin named The Barn which has this philosophy: the doorway has a bollard in the middle to impede the entry of prams.
I guess these people can start their own non family friendly businesses and see how that goes for them?
Who is ready to see the horrific downfall of the country due to crashing birth rates, like South Korea will be demonstrating for us over the next few decades?
It would be nice to have adult only public transport. When I first had to regularly use public transport I thought the high schoolers were noisy shits. Jesus now I use a route that a mob of the younger ones use. The parents are there but they just watch the chaos.
Grrrrrr, get off my lawn, and ferry.
I don't think there needs to be a conflict in public with child and not child places, honestly. also I grew up in NV and CA, pretty much everywhere used to be less child friendly in public when I was a kid. you can walk kids through a casino now, they used to really physically stop you in the 80s-90s
She also cited multiple flights where a child screamed "its head off".
"If I did the same thing, I'd be kicked out of somewhere.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh, Tanya!
You will alert the breeders to the secret quiet places!
No one is trying to trap her into motherhood, give me a break.
What's wrong with having some spaces for adults to enjoy the company of other adults without someone's semen demon around?
We have a declining population that needs more births and here we have hedonists making the world less kid friendly.
choosing not to have kids
There's also the people who wanted to have kids, but weren't able to due to medical/fertility problems. The article mentions "fertility intentions" briefly, but doesn't really explore the psychology of it.
Much as people who are childfree by choice may be irritated by kids, for those who are "childfree by circumstance" it can be painful to put up with other people's when you can't have your own.
Pity her mother didn't feel the same way.
