Petition Started for Child Free Dining
Guest Author - Kim Kenney

UPDATE: Due to harassing emails, the creator of the petition has asked me to remove the link to sign it. Since it is such a worthwhile endeavor, I have left this article in the Married No Kids archive of previous features.

************

Some enterprising child free folks in North Carolina have started an online petition to encourage restaurants to start special “adults only” sections.

The petition reads in part:

“WE, the childless and childfree people of the United States, hereby request that there be childfree sections set aside in your bars and restaurants immediately. Just as no-smoking sections offer non-smokers the option of dining without being forced to breathe cigarette and/or cigar smoke, we feel there should also be childfree sections where patrons can enjoy their dining experience in a peaceful, relaxing, and relatively quiet environment.”

The petition describes the typical child free family as having more disposable income, which means we are more likely to eat in a restaurant, dine out more frequently, and spend more on food and drinks per person than those with children.

The creators of the petition invite anyone to sign the petition, not just those who live in North Carolina. At last count, 699 people have signed it.

**********

Has your dinner out ever been ruined by screaming children? Write me with your story and I will compile a list of your experience for an upcoming Married No Kids article!
