I think I'd rather have children at our table than some of the trulhy narrow minded adults I am reading in this thread. So then define "people"? So then define "narrow minded"? I hate this refrain "I'd rather have kids because some adult somewhere did X." You see this on Flyertalk all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhMyLard Posted August 4, 2019 #828 Share Posted August 4, 2019 “It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being around anyone bristling with negativity is not a nice experience. I guess it could happen but I don't think I've ever been seated with any youngsters that acted horribly. Problem is the habitual complainers will pick at everything. Anyway, I do suspect some of the comments that seem to vilify all children are coming across in a way not intended. And, I can understand someone preferring a "grown up" experience/discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not liking children : not rude Loudly telling the maitre d "No, I will NOT sit at this table with an ugly, bratty, screaming, nose picking, disease carrying, pants peeing ankle biter" : rude. Clear enough for you? And yes, I do understand that the description could cover some adults, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare babs135 Posted August 5, 2019 #848 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Why are you all 'yelling' at each other?
