Today I am writing about tolerance in the world. I read an article which spurred on a number of rants and arguements in facebook. The article was about whether children should be taken out to resturants or cafes with their parents. It went on to say that children disrupt others and that people with children should stay home or have coffee and meals at others homes. One comment was that Children should be seen and not heard!
I think the world needs to be more tolerant of others and understand that everyone has a right to go out. Not all children disrupt things. There are so many other things in this world to be concerned about.
I am a believer in discipline for children and that we should all learn to respect others as we grow up. What bothers me about this situation is that parents are being forced to hide from the public because they have children.
The sound of laughter and chatter of young children is a wonderful and innocent beauty. I am not saying that all kids are angels or that some don't need repremanding when they disturb others in cafes etc... What I am saying is that never judge a parent when a child acts out. Never judge until you have walked a mile in someone elses shoes.
More often than not when parents meet up at cafes with children in tow, it is usually one of the only times they get to go out and socialise and have some adult stimulation. In a world of so much pressure is it really necessary to condem parents who take their children out.
To all those selfish people who want to live in a world without children, maybe you should choose to stay home!
