A new survey reported by Fox News found that 75% of adults support some kind of adults-only dining experience in restaurants. Suggestions included child-free sections, restrictions during late-night hours, and quieter environments centered on the dining experience rather than family activity.
Predictably, the outrage machine immediately framed this as another example of society becoming “anti-child.”
But that misses the point entirely.
I don’t think most adults hate children. In fact, many people genuinely enjoy seeing healthy, happy families in public spaces. What people increasingly resent is the modern refusal to parent.
There is a profound difference between a child behaving like a child and a child running wild while adults stare silently into their phones, pretending nothing is happening or don’t care how their children are behaving.
