I think it is a great Idea. I have two kids, but there are always times when I need to be alone, and a beach definitely sounds like the perfect spot!! I just wish it was closer to me, so I could be one of the many enjoying it!!:D
Okay, I'll pipe down! :p
I have kids, and I LOVE the idea of "child-free" zones!
I have always thought the idea of "child-free" sections in restaurants would be wonderful!
Even if you have kids, you don't necesarily want to be with kids all the time! In fact, you tend to value your "child-free" time all the more.
There are places where smokers can't go, where pets can't go ... what is so wrong about places kids can't go?
Ah I dunno. Some people like time away from their kids, we are all different I suppose. I never did, We included the kids absolutely everywhere we went, which was as a family.....it's the way we were, and how we enjoyed ourselves.
Still.....if ya like ya space away from the kids....then go for it. ;)

Everyone has different 'needs' when it comes to themselves and thier children. My need, and I have this silly idea that I know what is best for me, is not to spend time away from my child- other than my work time.
While I have no problem with a kid-free zone for the reasons stated above, I can't imagine availing myself of it, either. I just happen to like kids. Mine, yours, and those not otherwise classified.
*- I don't do some things because I don't think they are kid appropriate/kid friendly. I wouldn't take Jonah to a wedding, for instance. Or, a funeral. Or, a adult party. I might not go, either, but, I would never insist that he be included.
Cataholic, You sound like me when my children were pre-school age. :)
You couldn't pry me away from them. It wasn't until they were old enough
for grade school that I experienced "withdrawal" symptoms & didn't know
what to do with myself anymore. Getting to know yourself again and doing
things just for yourself is kinda weird at first. :D
Yeah, I think there is/will be a gradual weaning, but, for me (and Jones), it isn't now.
For some stay-at-home mothers, a break from the kids is a great thing. When mine were under 5, I would have loved a few minutes to myself. After they were 5, I was working so I got some quiet time and could enjoy being with them when I was home.
Now that I'm 'senior', I can enjoy others' kids at times. But I would appreciate adult only areas, just as I appreciate the non-smoking areas of restaurants.
My "me time and interests" were everything to do with my children.Quote:
