Speaker 2 (00:16):
Laura, I would love to get your opinion on what
France is doing.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
So France has had a call to ban child.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Free resorts the entire country.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Literally, they want to abolish a space that is like
an adult only resort.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Like you know, when you go to click on resort,
you're on booking dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
You're looking for a little getaway you can put like
adults only. You can make sure that the place you're
going to is going to be baby free, child free,
screaming free, ween in the pool free, like you.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Can say, I just want to go as an adult
and relax.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
What someone think if the children, well yeah, well France
has come out and said we don't think that they
should exist anymore. It said, we can't organize society by
separating children off from ourselves in the same way that
some establishments don't take dogs. Children aren't troublesome pets, and
that is the stance that they're going by.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I don't think I agree. I mean, I have two
kids and I also don't agree.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, sometimes I want a child free vacation. Look, I
know that There are a lot of people who might think, well,
kids should be allowed to be anywhere the adults are
because it's exclusive or it's exclusionary, not exclusive. But I
also think it's fine if you don't have kids and
you want to be at a hotel that has an
adult's on the only pool, so that you're not sharing
it with kids doing bombs and having you know, Like
(01:35):
I just I see how annoying my kids can be
to other people. They're not annoying to me, and I'm
so I love spending my holidays with them.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Do I want to.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Park my entire family next to a couple that are
just trying to have a romantic holiday.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't understand France's decision. I don't understand why it's
a problem to have the option there. Like you're not
making every single resort they're child free. It's just the
option for someone like, for example, I don't have kids.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I go to a lot of resorts that have kids.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Fine, Like I don't always go and clear that I
want adults only, but when I'm there, without doubt, every
time I say, oh wish we went adults only, Like
I for me, at my stage of life. When I'm
on a romantic trip with my husband, I don't want
a kid bombing on me.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I don't want them screaming in my ear. And sometimes
it's okay, but you.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Want to be able to have the option.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think maybe it's because it sets a precedent right,
or it sets like an expectation, or it leans into
a mindset around it, because I know a lot of
people have issues with kids on planes, and I'm like, no, sorry,
you don't get to have an issue with kids on
planes if you sat next to a kid.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Suck it up.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's the public transport of the sky, like the kids
need to get from A to B. So I don't
think that we can be as picky in those situations.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
But if it's a you're going on.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Vacation and you're picking your hotel, there's so many other
places that you can choose to have club meds and
have kids club and whatnot. Just let the single people
have their adults only one.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And what do you I mean going back to the plane,
if you remember those talk a little while ago about
them having like a section on the plane where if
you have kids, that's where you book. So like the
front of the plane is the chaos and the kids,
and you know that if you book the back of
the plane, for example, it might be child for free.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Well, no, it was actually I think it was a
bit deep in that it was Japan who were bringing
up Japan airlines, I think, and it was when a
family books because obviously when you book children, you've got
to put the ages in and so what was going
to happen is that those seats were going to be
marked on a different color so that when you go
and you do seat selection, it pops up where the kids.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Are around you.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And I think that that's a bit tricky because people
get moved, things get changed, and so you don't want
to be then in a situation as a family where
you feel like you're ostracized because that person sitting next
to you didn't want to be sat next to a child.
I just think like that. On a plane, I'm like,
it's a different rule set. Everyone's got to get to
where they're going, and no one is more upset when
a kid is kicking off or having a tantrum then
(03:55):
the mom and dad who have to deal with it,
like no one.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But what do you think, I mean, go more top
level of that. There was a conversation not about a
specific airline. There was just a conversation about people saying
should all airlines bring it in where it's really sectioned
plane section no? No, Like you don't want to pay
more to know that it's not a screaming child. Next
year you come for hours section off.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
This is the family side of the plane and this
is why not though no, because I don't want to
be stuck at the back near the toilet.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But what if you could have the front, the good
area and ask child free people?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
They won't do that the toilet. I would It'll be
like the kids need to be closest to the toilet
because they are.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
The ones who are the most in need all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I think it's silly.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I think that there's maybe we have too many rules
and I think France needs less.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Needs to come down.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I need to come down.
