Hmm, going strictly by the behavior I see from parents AND kids in public, I'd actually wager that you're not trying your best. In fact, a lot don't even seem to be trying at all. Largely do not blame the kids though, they're being kids and it's silly to expect them to act like anything else when someone isn't correcting it.Fuming
If I pay extra to have an adults-only space, that should be respected. Family restaurants at 5pm? Not expected to be adults only. Amusement parks, pools, parks, interactive museums? Definitely expect kids. Adults only night at the art museum? Wine tasting? Brewery tour? Doing the big grocery shop at 11pm? IDGAF how much you want to go, get a babysitter or stay home. Sorry but that's what you chose.
Edit: Read the article and a bit confused. The title says "no matter how much they pay" but in the article she writes "unless they pay for a child free experience". Which is it?
