The No-Kids-Allowed Movement is Spreading

Oh my goodness.

Obviously a lot of posters on this thread have no kids.

You don't have kids...... then shut your efffing mouth.

Luckily I live a place where families are large with a lot of kids...... so usually everywhere I go it is kid friendly....

which is how it should be everywhere.

Ya... kids are not adults....get over it.

Great.

A morman.

How many wives?

Hahahahahaha

Awesome stereotype my man. Though I grew up Mormon, in no way shape or form do I believe in their religion. In fact, I could pick it apart in about 1 minute.

..... and my kids are very well behaved so usually their mouths are shut. ......but sometimes kids just breakdown ....nothing anyone can do about it.

...of course if my kid was having a breakdown I would remove myself and him from a public venue.

Ahh great!
I can u2u you a list of the supplements we use and a few things we had to do in our own situation as far as getting the behavior under control. With a kid on the spectrum.. spanking doesnt usually work at all. Just more input to process. Mainly it was a matter of sensory overload for us... but required completely changing the way we had previously been doing things. With most autistic kids there are varying degrees of processing issues.. processing of environmental stimulus, interpersonal communication, and etc really effected her behavior. I mean.. acting out, flapping, screaming, OCD like repetitive behaviors, violent tantrums, etc with the overload. We went to a workshop for kids with "profound processing" issues and learned some great stuff.. and also learned our way of life had suddenly changed. You add things in and add things in over the yrs and then they can learn to handle it as they get older. We went from a severely acting out toddler to an 18 yr old in college classes, driving, and by all observations a typical kid with a bright future... with a few differences from the other neurotypicals that she has learned techniques to deal with with a heck of a lot of work on bother our part and hers over the yrs. Problems linger as is the nature of hte beast, but you can equip them with the skills to handle it as they grow into adulthood.. and then cross your fingers!

One thing though, the supplement program can get expensive, but you also dont run into the side effects of things like concerta and other drugs that theyre now using for processing issues. Worth every penny and every vacation we've had to give up IMO. You can also work with your neurologist to refine what supplement combos will benefit you most rather than throwing the kitchen sink at it.. if you have a decent neurologist

Gotta run!

Everything your child does... 90% of it is your fault, I mean comon your the one raising them. I hate when parents say its not their fault when it clearly is every time

As far as restaurants and such go, if you don't want kids around, have dinner later.

That doesnt work anymore.

I've been out to 3AM and still had wonderful parents dragging their kids to shows, movies, diners, restaurants, just sitting on stoops, etc...

Exposure to screaming kids and inconsiderate "parents" has become a 24 hour ordeal.

Who the hell takes their 3 year old to a 2AM R rated horror movie? A lot of people that's who.

I think I'm gonna have to call bullsnip on this one..........

I think you may be embellishing how many times you may have seen this considering I am out non stop during the nights and evenings and actually used to work in a movie theater for a number of years.


I'm not saying you have NEVER seen it but is most certainly NOT A COMMON occurrence

Funny, I never once mentioned my parents beating me or striking me. Maybe you shouldnt assume.

You said "Id invariably choose spanking. You wont kill me, pain is temporary"

They struck you hard enough to cause you pain - you said it, I didnt assume anything.

and spanking is PHYSICAL ABUSE?? Spanking is striking or beating?? Maybe you need to realize the difference. I also suggest getting out and working with kids and people who arent a carbon copy of you and in your unique circumstance.

Absolutely, if an adult hit you hard enought to cause you pain, it would be called assault and it is a crime. If you strike your child then at least own it and call it what it is. You are causing physical pain to an individual who is smaller than you, dependant on you, with no option to leave. So yes it is physical abuse, it is also emotional abuse.

Ya... kids are not adults....get over it.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Glad to see some more common sense on this topic. So tired of the non-parents giving parenting advice.
