[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the replies, but I am an American, and I agree with you. I will say this attitude varies regionally and probably with social class. The posts I read on DCUM are far far more hostile towards children's mere presence than I experienced growing up in a fairly small southern town. I don't understand the need to constantly partition off children from the rest of life. I'm not talking about badly behaved children-- just children period. Sure, there are some events that are not child friendly, but many people on DCUM act like traveling with small kids or having them present at baby showers/funerals/etc is at best highly inconvenient and at worst unacceptable. I just don't get it, and I felt the same way long before I was a parent. Kids are people, too.
