There Needs to Be More Child-Free Restaurants and Businesses. Here’s How People Responded to This Opinion.

I have a feeling this is going to get some people fired up.

I’m gonna go on the record about this and I only have one thing to say: I don’t think it would be the worst idea in the world if certain businesses decided they wanted to be kid-free zones.

I really don’t understand why people insist on bringing their kids to breweries or even bars. It’s just weird to me. And I don’t think that most customers who are there to have a few beers in what are supposed to be adult establishments really appreciate it, either.

So should there be more child-free businesses?

Are you ready to dive into the responses about this from AskReddit users? Let’s take a look.

1. Oh, boy…

“Do you know the feeling when you’re just sitting at the restaurant with your significant other and the two of you just want to enjoy your food and each other’s company, and out comes running a little kid screaming their head off?

Most of the time the parents don’t bother to properly even address their kids’ behaviors. They just laugh it off at the distance or say “Oh, so cute!” and start filming their lousy kid? Or when you’re visiting the spa at a hotel, just bubbling away in a jacuzzi and in jumps a little kid who starts splattering around?

Or when you’re at the cinema, focused on a really interesting scene and some kid starts talking all over the place “Daddy, look at that!” multiple times throughout the movie.

It should be more normalized for kids not to be taken everywhere. There should be more places for adults who specifically don’t have kids for a reason. The obsession around “kids are cute and should be with everyone 24/7″ is disgusting.”

2. Bad business?

“Its’ just a bad business model. Most people have kids so you’re missing out on like 80% of your potential customers by having a child-free business.

Maybe in a big city. But that especially would never be a good idea in middle America. I live in the south and there’s people who bring their kids to bars, I sh*t you not.”

3. You’re in a dive bar!

“Midwest US. I once got scolded by an angry parent for language in front of their kid… at a dive bar… in a college town… on a game night Friday… while the parent had a beer in hand…

It wasn’t even like a food chain like BWW or anything, like can I not have a place where I can talk how I want?”

4. Tell us how you feel.

“A lot of people are just negative and want to be upset that 100% of the world doesn’t work exactly how they want.

And even if they haven’t experienced it they are upset that other people are living their lives in a way they don’t approve of.”

5. Not a problem.

“My view may be skewed because I love kids, but I honestly don’t see this as a problem either.

I can’t recall a time when an experience was ruined by a wayward child.

Perhaps people who post stuff like this are just extraordinarily sensitive to the presence of small humans in their vicinity.

In which case, I would suggest that perhaps they are too fragile for this world.”

6. Lack of support.

“The reason that there’s not more of these types of places is simply due to lack of support.

Childfree Apartments (I lived in one), beaches, resorts, restaurants exist but they aren’t cheap and you have to support them because they are cutting themselves out of a large money spending portion of consumers.

I see this type of opinion a lot on here and usually it boils down to someone having champagne taste with a tap water budget. If you think a family of four week-long trip to Disney world is expensive look up a few night stay at some of these adult only resorts.

If you aren’t willing to shell out for first class tickets then you wouldn’t be able to afford the price hike for a coach ticket on an adult only flight Malaysia airlines and others have proved people don’t want to deal with the reality of childfree accommodations.”

7. What goes around…

“The people moaning about other peoples kids were the annoying kids when some of us were their age. What goes around comes around.

That said I’d never take mine to a bar and they only go in pubs at lunchtime, if we’re eating, and rarely at that.

And unless you have a thing for Disney movies or matinee PG movies then you’ll never be in the same cinema as them. They ain’t watching Rambo 7 or terminator 15.

Adult only spaces are fine with me, but I have a feeling most people moaning are eating at Pizza Hut or McDonalds and then complaining, rather than being somewhere classy that’s actually aimed at adults.

If you don’t have to dress up to eat there then it’s casual and most likely aimed at families.”

8. Expensive.

“People ask for champagne but can barely afford beer.

These places would not be cheap. Most people have kids, families etc. so this business model would be removing a large demographic.

They could do it by being expensive but that would be out of reach for most people and this is why it isn’t that popular.”

9. I get it.

“As a parent with kids….

I couldn’t agree more. My children shouldn’t be causing you stress, anxiety, or anger while you made plans to go out and enjoy your dinner/movie etc…

I totally get it.”

10. Need some time away.

“I’m a parent that agrees and I know tons of parents that do too. When I get a night away from my kids I don’t want to have to listen to other kids.

When I say kids I mean anyone under 18 because a lot of times in public teenagers are louder or just as loud as toddlers and babies.”

11. Adults are worse.

“Before the pandemic I’ve worked with kids a lot, so I’ve seen my fair share of misbehaving but I can’t recall being at a restaurant, movie, concert or airport with overly misbehaving kids.

Loud adults tends to always be the more immediate problem. Like dude, stop screaming into your phone, it’s not that serious and move out of the middle of the aisle, for crying out loud.”

12. They gotta learn.

“I… don’t think so. Hear me out. How will the kid learn to behave if they are not taken everywhere? You literally have to teach the small human based on your own behavior.

When I was young we’d travel with family friends. A huge group of 15 adults and 20 to 25 kids. (Nieces, nephews and cousins were brought with us.)

We never caused a racket because we were always treated as adults and expected to behave well in public. We all learned how to act and would call out each other in case of sh*tty actions.”

13. Pick your places.

“As a parent who likes to have dinner with my family this is annoying.

People constantly complain about kids making a ruckus in restaurant and hotels. To you and the billion other people that complain about this everyday go visit more upscale restaurants and hotels.

When I want to have a kid free romantic night with my wife I don’t go to Olive Garden or Applebee’s and complain about kids being disruptive. Kids are part of families don’t eat at family restaurants if you don’t want to be around kids being kids.”

How do you feel about this?

A Mom Wants to Know if She’s Wrong to Change the Locks to Keep Her Kids’ Grandma Out of the House

This already sounds like a tricky situation.

Whenever there are grandparents and grandkids involved in any situation, there’s bound to be some drama and some hurt feelings some of the time.

But this woman has a unique situation: she wants to know if she was wrong for changing the locks on her house when her ex-husband gave his mom a key to the house…which sounds kind of weird to begin with…

Let’s take a look at how this whole thing unfolded.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Seems normal enough, the ex-husband would be allowed to have a key to her house for day-to-day stuff.

But then the situation went in a new direction and totally caught her by surprise.

But it seemed to be smoothed over after she had a talk with her unexpected guest.

Photo Credit: Reddit

But then Grandma struck again a month later.

So the woman decided to put her foot down. The grandma didn’t see eye to eye with the woman, so she decided to take some action.

Photo Credit: Reddit

That’s right, she changed the locks on her ex-husband the kids’ grandma.

The next time Granda came over to drop the boys off, she got a bit of a rude awakening.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Ouch. Well, she made a decision and decided to stand by it.

But the ex and Grandma clearly don’t seem to be getting the point.

And the woman clearly has some doubt about whether changing the locks on them was a good idea or not.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Not surprisingly… people are decidedly on mom’s side.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Nope nope nope.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This IS NOT a hotel, ma’am!

Photo Credit: Reddit

What do you think? Is she the *sshole?

Have you ever done something like this with a friend or a family member?

We’d love to hear from you. Thanks!

A Student Wants to Know if He’s Wrong for Bringing a Baby to Class

If you don’t regularly check Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole” forum, you should really check it out.

People post questions on there about things that are happening in their lives and they want to know, as the title implies, they ask Reddit users if they are an a**hole or not.

And this one is from a guy who wanted to know if it was wrong for him to bring a baby to one of his classes.

Let’s take a look at what went down.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Hey, emergencies happen, right?

And you gotta step up to the plate when family members ask you to do something, especially in a pinch.

So this guy did what he thought was right and went to watch the baby.

But the next day, by the time his online class was about to start, the parents weren’t back yet…so he decided to do the class with the baby on his lap.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And, to top it off, he had to give a presentation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The professor said it was all good so he turned on his camera, his baby cousin slept the whole time, and it went off without a hitch.

But then he got his grade…and a comment from his professor.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this guy was pretty confused about the whole thing.

Photo Credit: Reddit

So what did the internet think?

No, she’s not an a**hole.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And, honestly, what’s up with that professor?

Photo Credit: Reddit

Not that bringing a baby to a class is very common… but still… it was SLEEPING.

Photo Credit: Reddit

So what do you think? Was he okay doing this? Or do you think he should’ve figured something else out?

Please share your thoughts with us in the comments! We love to read what you have to say!

Thanks, fam!

Kids Who Absolutely Totally Nailed Their School Pictures

When you’re a parent, you want to have adorable photos that will let you remember the glow of your kid’s childhood once they’re older and crabby and stuff.

Unfortunately, the school photographers can only do so much, and kids have their own agenda (if and when they even realize there is one to be had), and honestly, sometimes humor is better than cute, right?

At least, I hope that’s the attitude these 20 parents managed to find when these school pictures found their way home.

20. He took that freedom and ran with it.

Remember that for the next time.

I told my 9 year old I didn’t care what he did in his Spring School photos. This is what he gave us. from pics

19. How can you not frame this?

Answer: you can’t.

My friend’s boyfriend was not happy about his kindergarten picture. His parents still have it framed in their house 20 years later. from funny

18. No reshoots, please.

You cannot improve upon perfection.

The school offered to re-shoot the photo buty parents declined. from blunderyears

17. Girlfriend knew exactly what she was doing.

She’s making the same face now!

Reagan brought home her school pictures today. Should I ground her or high-five her? #2020

Posted by Sarah Hurley on Friday, September 11, 2020

16. They’d better hope he never commits a crime.

Because that picture will end up on the air.

15. To be fair, no one knows how to smile in 1st grade.

I don’t know what to say about the eyes, though.

Apparently I didn’t know how to smile in first grade from blunderyears

14. Bless her heart.

Great taste in music.

My wife’s school picture with her most prized possession at the time. An Evanescence CD. from blunderyears

13. You can’t be mad about these.

It’s impossible.

Posted by Stronajai Miles on Saturday, November 9, 2019

12. He was just doing what he was told.

This is so funny.

I too was instructed not to blink during my elementary school yearbook photo. from funny

11. Definitely not the kid’s fault.

This one is on the school/photog.

10. She is all of us.

She’ll learn how to smile one day. Probably.

9. I mean, she looks fine.

Bless her heart.

10M, and looking like a middle age mom who’s deciding to grace you with a smile, while still judging you just a little from blunderyears

8. To be fair, she still looks super cute.

Maybe she wants to be a model.

My daughters first ever school photo. She was so excited for days, went in and got mugshot instead. from funny

7. That’s certainly a mood.

I hope he gets a laugh out of it one day.

I’m sure everyone needs a good laugh these days so thanks to my latest mom fail…you’re welcome in advance haha ?Mason…

Posted by Brittany Kinley on Tuesday, November 17, 2020

6. Wooooowwww this is a lot to take in.

I don’t know where to look first.

School photos sometimes in the early 2000s. I really thought I was "Da Bomb". I remember going to Limited Too and thinking those velour pants were a must. from blunderyears

5. And now he’s a meme.

That expression is all the kid, though.

4. The Timberlands. The shirt.

Oh my god the Pee Wee Herman.

Me in the 4th grade ready to go on some sort of tropical safari with my best friend. from blunderyears

3. I have a lot of questions.

Mostly about the egg.

2. He captured the very sweet smile.

I have no idea what he’s looking at, though.

1. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Truly. In my entire life.

My brother’s Pre-k picture. He didn’t know how to smile. from blunderyears

I can only hope one of my kids comes home with an epic photo like this one day.

Because that would truly be a day that me and my hubby would LOL for days.

Check it out!

The youngster is a basketball prodigy and she now has a large following on Instagram with more than 65,000 followers!

You can tune in to her page to see Ramirez do all kinds of wizardry on the basketball court!

It seems like she can do it all, from dribbling to shooting to some tricks that you’ll see in a video at the end of this article.

Her dad Orlando says,

“It became apparent that Karolina was a talented player at 6 years old after playing and practicing basketball since she was 4.

She performs the trick shots by practicing for hours and challenging herself.”

This kid is the REAL deal. Check out these moves!

Her father added,

“It helps her get closer to achieving her goals.

Basketball is simply a platform that will open many paths in her life.”

Tweets That Parents Will Absolutely Understand

I grew up with two sisters and my memory of the early years is a little hazy but I’m fairly sure we were all absolute terrors.

At the time it was easy to look at my parents as killjoys who wanted nothing in this world but to engender my perpetual disappointment, but in retrospect, I think we’re lucky they didn’t sell us to a passing circus or something. Because kids can be…a lot.

To illustrate what I’m talking about, here are ten tweets from parents who know the struggle all too well.

10. Once upon a time…

And they never heard from her again.

9. Tips and tricks

“Clean enough” might as well be the name of my autobiography.

8. Beat the spread

For instance, my patience.

7. Get this bread

He wants to be a part of the upper crust.

6. Clean up your language

How about YOU do that.

5. A simple request

Oh well, guess we’ll try again tomorrow.

4. For the record

Plague be damned, no one can endure this sort of torment.

3. Killing time

Life before the internet was somehow weirder than life before the internet.

2. Coffee break

Come on in, pull up a shirt.

1. Making the rounds

When God opens a window, he also loses a lid.

To the parents out there dealing with the joys and pains of raising a kid, I salute you. From my bed. Where I can nap. Because I don’t have kids. Good luck!

Do you have kids? What’s the experience been like?

A Little Girl Didn’t Move a Single Muscle During a Dance Recital and People Loved It

Legends are not made, they’re born…is that how the saying goes? Or something kind of like that…?

Whatever the case, I think you’ll agree with me very shortly that a 4-year-old girl named Charlie will now forever be remembered for her hilarious and defiant attitude that came out in full force during a dance recital that was thankfully captured on video.

The little girl’s name is Charlie and, as you’ll see in the videos below, she stood motionless and refused to move a single muscle during the recital while wearing a tutu for six whole minutes while her fellow dancers got down to business.

@chubbybeagle

Went to my niece’s outdoor dance recital and witnessed this legend. #dancrecital #legend

♬ original sound – Caleb

Charlie’s mother, Tiffany Cosby, didn’t realize her daughter become TikTok famous until a co-worker told her about it.

Tiffany asked her daughter why she stood motionless during the recital and Charlie replied, “there were a lot of people.” Well, she’s not wrong about that…

At the end of the recital, Charlie finally did give in and she decided to dance just a little bit when she was moved away from being front and center…I guess she just couldn’t resist.

@chubbybeagle

With permission from this icon’s mother, @cosbyt8 , here is the only movement recorded during her 6 minute performance #dancrecital #legend

♬ original sound – Caleb

 

Tiffany said about Charlie,

“We were actually shocked she did dance in the finale.

I honestly think it was because she was in the back row.

She is really animated and outgoing if it’s in a small group of people she knows.”

This kid is a riot!

A Woodworker Made Dozens of Desks for Local Kids Who Are Learning From Home

To all the parents who are dealing with their kids learning from home, we salute you…because it can’t be easy for you OR the kiddos who are pretty much housebound during the pandemic that we’re all living through.

But out of all uncertainty and hard times, we occasionally get wholesome stories about everyday people doing great and generous things for other folks…and here’s a good one for you to enjoy.

A woodworker named Mitch Couch made a desk for his kids to work at while learning from home and he shared a photo of the desk on Instagram and remarked how cheap and easy it was to build.

A local business owner learned about Couch’s work and got in touch with him and asked if he would make more desks to be donated to local schools. Couch immediately said yes and got busy making 35 desks for kids in his community.

A local company in Lemoore, California, where Couch lives called Grocery Outlet generously donated the supplies to help out with this important project.

If you’re interested in building a desk like the one that Couch made for the kids, check out his website HERE for instructions. His website also offers advice on all kinds of DIY building projects.

What a nice act of kindness!

Now we want to hear from you.

Have you seen anything on social media or in the news lately that really warmed your heart?

If so, please share links and tell us about them in the comments. Thanks a lot!
