Childfree seating at restaurants?
Many unparents fantasize about the day when they can walk into a restaurant and ask to be seated in the childfree zone. Well, in North Carolina some childfree activists have stopped dreaming and started taking action. A petition is currently circulating asking upscale restaurants to divy up their space into Romper Room and Dining Room.
The petition reads:
“WE, the childless and childfree people of the United States, hereby request that there be childfree sections set aside in your bars and restaurants immediately. Just as no-smoking sections offer non-smokers the option of dining without being forced to breathe cigarette and/or cigar smoke, we feel there should also be childfree sections where patrons can enjoy their dining experience in a peaceful, relaxing, and relatively quiet environment.”
Amen!
Bella Online (link below) is asking for diners whose meals have been spoiled by spoiled brats to write in with stories about their misadventures. I say take it another step: Start a similar petitions in your own town!
