Young Kids!

[Strawberryblond]

It used to really bother me when adults would get a smug look and say "you will understand when you are older". At fifteen I felt so mature and knowing. I was quite practical and responsible at fifteen but I didn't have experience nor was I a parent...sigh. Nothing wrong with being fifteen, I enjoyed it myself :lol, but when you are older you can kind of see things comming I sure didn't have the patience for children that I do now. Being a mommy has softened me as has getting older.

Very good point about planning to take the kids again and again. I do not plan on a once in a lifetime trip to disney. I don't feel there is "one perfect age" to experience disney and if there were, how is that fair to the rest of the siblings who are older and younger than the "perfect" age. Things you enjoy at 2 are not going to thrill at 5 and so on. Great excuse to keep going and going, there always seems to be a new ride each time I go

I am 22 and have no children at the time but I do want to have a child very soon. So I am thinking as if I did have a child already on this subject. I think people that do not have children, regardless of how old they are (15 or 30) should not talk about this subject. They do not have the knowledge of what it is like to have a kid and not want to be apart from him/her and enjoying your time even more at WDW because he/she is with you by your side. Furthermore, saying that parents are "idiotic" (Racal) for taking their children is a bit offensive in my opinion. And Rascal, you think 8 yrs old is the time to take them? I am sure at 6 they will remember. Regardless, there is no set age when you can take your kids. When you have kids they are a part of you and you want them with you in order to enjoy things more. Right now, when they are very young its for our memories, when they are older it is for theirs. All of you voting NO on the Young Kids will understand when you have kids on your own.

:sohappy:

its not an excuse its a fact. I retired from working as an AC at a nursing home .. when you get old you lose long term memory, and this can start as early as your 30's .. thats if you dont get alzhiemers ..which basically wipes out your entire memory.

I think somebody's already said this, and better, but I think everyone should do what feels best for them, and not worry about what's "right" or just "right for someone else!"

SpaceshipEarth, I'm assuming that you don't have any small children currently in your family. When you have a kid or two of your own, you might change your mind about taking little ones to the parks. Be flexible, and keep an open mind!

Look, this is getting ridiculous. Please everyone, some of the people posting on this site are young. Really young. Read the profiles. Those of us that are adults, let's stop fighting with the kids, ok? Remember, we all are entitled to our opinions on this matter, and as our lives change, so will our views on things like children, babies and WDW. If you are a "grown-up" please stop posting to this thread. Let's just agree to disagree.

Time to snip this thread!

OK I think you have all had your say on this one.

I know in the heat of the discussion you all like to get your point across, but remember, at the end of the day this is just a forum, and really isnt worth getting upset over.

I am going to close this thread before it develops into something rather ugly.
