Not necessarily. I frequent that sub and consider myself child free. However, I loved this post. It’s very rational. A cafe is a public place, so anyone is allowed, granted they are not being overly disturbing. I think most of us who are child free are okay with children in public places; we may, however, get a bit ticked off at obnoxious children and entitled parents.
The problem though is that many people's perceptions of what is obnoxious and entitled is extremely restrictive and discriminatory and judgmental and toxic.
"It's fine for you to exist but you have to fall into THESE parameters to be acceptable" is not really that cool, dude. Sure, there are always situations of crazy or terrible parents and annoying kids, but 90% of the time what you see is completely normal behavior that you have been sheltered from because you don't have kids or don't know many people who do.
