So, again, you'd ban yourself?Every time I see Disney adults I’m reminded how Disney needs to ban childless adults. Nobody over 18 should be allowed without a kid.

I'd be totally ok with that.So, again, you'd ban yourself?
The current generation doesn't have enough wealth vs cost of living to have kids.Every time I see Disney adults I’m reminded how Disney needs to ban childless adults. Nobody over 18 should be allowed without a kid.
They don't have money for kids because they spend it all at Disneyland.The current generation doesn't have enough wealth vs cost of living to have kids.
In fact as much as I dislike the idea of it, at the end of the day it's smart for Disney to focus on selling nostalgia and overpriced merchandise to 30 year olds without kids. It's a demographic shift.
People aren't having kids of their own but will drop cash to buy a limited edition bucket to "relive their childhood".
That's a good thing.You can barely even see Tiana Mountain across the river...
I just checked. Legoland up in Carlsbad still has a Driving School attraction.
Except it's no longer sponsored by Volvo. Probably for the best that Volvo dropped out, as putting 7 year olds behind the wheel while being monitored and instructed by 19 year old surfer kids from north San Diego County is a recipe for marketing disaster.

At LEGOLAND Driving School, red means stop and green means go. That's pretty much all you need to know as you drive your own car through the city streets.www.legoland.com
Sure. Not saying my statement applies to every single adult, but there are more childless adults now and the birthrate is declining in not only the US but globally.They don't have money for kids because they spend it all at Disneyland.
Plenty of people I know are married and have kids in their 20's. They manage it by not being fiscally irresponsible.
But that's not the real reason people aren't having kids, it's because they're selfish and want to live pampered lifestyles and "discover themselves" instead of doing something noble like giving up their comforts for the another.
And they did too good of a job with abstinence-only education.That's because tv doesn't have enough shows with background women in bikinis and shirtless men like the Love Boat had every episode.
Umm. A steal.

The world has changed - up until the early 20th century people had kids because the kids were free labor to support their farms and businesses (that, and lack of modern birth control) as well as a family unit to care for the elderly among them. Once industrialization and subsequent trend of moving to the cities and later suburbs took hold, kids became more of an expense than an asset. It has nothing to do with selfishness.I have no interest in having kids, and frankly I suspect a lot more people than would openly admit had kids because it was societally expected of them rather than because they actually wanted them or thought through what it means to be good parents. And I'm not convinced that a lot of people did the mental math of what having a kid actually means, costs, what a responsibility that entails, etc. before they actually went about and made merry. I see way too many parents more interested in being on their phone and/or shoving a phone in their kids faces than actually being involved with their kids, or parents trying to be their kid's friend rather than their kid's parent.
I also don't think it's unreasonable to look at the cost of food, housing, everything involving the hospital and health care, etc., among other things, and come to the conclusion that having a child isn't the right thing for a person to do financially.
Now, people can do what they want. If you have kids and/or want kids, great! If you're a good parent who is attentive to your kid's needs, supportive of their interests, responsible, etc (as I'm assuming everyone here is), that's wonderful. But I know what I want (or more precisely, what I don't want) and don't think it's in the best interest of any child if I raise them without my heart being in it. Now, maybe if I meet the right person and a child comes into my life organically in that context, that would be a different thing entirely, and perhaps in that specific situation a child would be a blessing. But until then, I'm more than happy being child-free.

So that is why this country is so up tight.And they did too good of a job with abstinence-only education.![]()
