Pro-Family Places
-
okay.. i'm wide awake now due to the blasted internal body clock that tells me it's friday and i gotta wake up
but anyway, this thing on CNA's morning show came on... about pro-family places..
okay.. i'm all for pro-family places.. but i'm even more for a few "ANTI-family" places
don't get me wrong... i got nothing against them... but the last thing i want if i have a hot date at a nice restaurant with a prospective Mrs Bear, we look into each others' eyes, there is almost an arc of electricity linking us... and a couple of brats start throwing tantrums a couple of tables away...
the moment is lost, and the restaurant will be blacklisted...
sometimes, for the want of everything, you lose everything..
not all companies can be pro-family.. well, McCrap's can be (even if they should not), Popeye's and Chinese restaurants should be, places like fine-dining restaurants should not...
as for pro-family for their staff, i'm all for it within reason... sorta, you must not have a creche for chemical plant or incineration plant workers
what do you guys out there think? -
some places should be pro-family, some should not.
not everyone can tolerate the din created by children.
not everyone can find ppl to take care of their brats while they're out dining. -
united square is suppose to be a very family shopping centre

I remembered mom rebuking me now and then with a very stern look, a warning shake of her forefinger, and the declaration that "Children should be seen, not heard!"
Grandma would also keep shushing me whenever I spoke too loudly in public or started misbehaving because to her generation, you have to be considerate to those around you who don't wish to be disturbed.
Sadly, these values are more or less lost, cause these days, you can hear rowdy children and esp teenagers way before you can even catch a glimpse of them.
It's ok to have a fun time, but well, we should also pay a little consideration to others too.
These days, I feel we need to tone down our volumes a little, esp in places like libraries, cinemas, hospitals and clinics.
Well, it's good that some places are pro-family but hopefully, not ALL! I don't mind families being around, as long as the kids don't misbehave but more often than not, the parents don't seem to know how to control their kids and instil a bit of discipline when they misbehave and throw hissy fits. 
I guess the problem is not whether places ought to be pro-family or not, but the rather, the malady lies in parents who are too lax in disciplining their kids.
Establishments that dare to hang up the "No Children Allowed" sign will be bound to suffer from the bad publicity that will ensue. Besides, it's not ALL children who are the problem and I'd hate to discriminate against the well-behaved kiddos! -

I loved to watch the kids at this YWCA camp I helped out some time back, gather in the hall to watch cartoons! They would all laugh loudly and giggle uncontrollably together, it was sooo endearing to watch!

For me, anywhere boleh
As long as there's places for easy diapers change -
there should be places for just pure dating, special occassions for husband and wife etc.. and also, some places where you go out all together as a family, and have children running around and screaming.. god.. reminds me of myself.. i was the worst of them all.
