You people are crazy, not every one without kids, chooses that. While a joy you forget some done have that option, and therefore that experience. Also, you are bashing those who choose not to. There is common excepted behavior in public, not everyone is ok with a screaming kid even those with kids. Sitting there and doing nothing while your child is running around a restaurant and screaming is not ok you with and without children should always have common consideration for All.

Yes — we parents chose to have kids. We did not however choose to have them with YOU. Therefore, since you were not chosen by us as a parenting partner, your input by definition is ignorant at best and should generally be assumed as un-invited.

well said Meg, just because you've decided to procreate, does not give you or your child the right to disrespect other peoples property..

thank you Josh! Geez just b/c I don't have children I've never been tired or busy? I may not be running around after kids all day but I assure you there are other ways to be busy & tired.

There's a big difference between me choosing to take my kids TO you to put them under your authority and someone coming over to my house telling my kids not to jump off the couch, which we endorse.

I think we're on the same page here.

"Don’t parent my kids. If I haven’t put a stop to what my kid is doing, don’t feel the need. Chances are, he’s probably used to doing that thing because his parents have previously approved of it."
This part should not apply in all places. I don't parent my friends kids I leave them alone and I certainly don't parent a kid in a public place who I have no idea who they are. But, I am a tennis instructor who has taught lots of kids. If I am teaching your child tennis and your kid is out of line or doing something dangerous to other kids (or themselves), you're damn right I'm going to "parent them." I don't care if you have previously approved of it, you're child needs to abide by my rules and obey my authority.

I don't have kids…and DO enjoy my free time. I have a busy schedule because I fill up my time…again…by CHOICE. My husband and I travel, run together, and I am a teacher who puts forth 110% effort into my "job" and love what I do. I take my dog for walks, take my nephews for sleepovers and LOVE to spend as much time with them as I can, I am an avid chef in my kitchen and I am up at 5 a.m. and in bed at 10 every night. It is my choice that I am "busy" and without children. I love my life, and am tired of being bashed for my choice.

that should never be tolerated. especially when it is the mom talking for her baby in a baby voice.

Mmm…sounds okay I guess. But what about the moms that try to make their babies talk to me in a weird voice in the grocery store line?
