To dislike people condemning adults having fun

[brasty]

What I mean by this is those who condemn adults having fun without children. For example, condemning a group of adults making a big deal out of Christmas when there are no kids involved. Or condemning adults enjoying theme parks with no teenagers in tow. Or condemning adults enjoying Disneyland with no kids.

I am not personally into all of the activities I have named, but you don't need kids with you to enjoy yourself. If adults enjoy these kind of things, then let them enjoy them and don't look down your nose at them.

Totally agree. I don't really get the Disney thing, but its not for me to get, is it? If they like it, what is it to anyone else?

The idea that you can't do fun shit because you;re over a certain age; fuck that for a lark.

[StickThatInYourPipe]

I love all those things! YANBU

I've never come across anyone who does condemn adults for this. Where did you encounter this?

I find people who start a Christmas countdown in February mildly tiresome but I just pay no attention and the ones I know that do it have children so it's irrelevant to me if they have kids or not.

Some people will complain about anything... The weather too cold/hot/wet/dry. The car you're driving is too new/old/cheap/expensive. You're a terrible mother because you work/stay at home. You're a disgrace for being a single parent, even worse for dating.

The same people will complain about adults having fun because it's something to complain about. They'll also complain if you bring your kids anywhere.

I silently judge. But each to their own.

I'd love to see some examples of the judging OP.

[SunshineDeLaSoul]

Is this about the birthday thread? A TAAT?

[Sparklingbrook]

Is this a TAAT ie the adult birthday one?

[redexpat]

Add jumping on a trampoline to that list.

Miserable fuckers.

[brasty]

No I haven't seen that one Sunshine. This is based on lots and lots of threads on MN

Condemn? In what way? Condemn to what? That's quite a strong term!

I have never seen anyone say that kind of thing and I am on here a lot!

So I will say YWNBU if it were true. Which I don't think it is.

[Sparklingbrook]

Everyone's idea of fun for adults is different.

[Biscusting]

I've never known anyone to judge this behaviour, but if I did I would assume they were jealous.

I'd fucking love to go a theme park sans kids with DH and get pissed.

[MissionItsPossible]

Well sparkling has admitted to it (albeit silently ) so that's at least one example

[Sparklingbrook]

[Sparklingbrook]

Oh and I am not in the least bit jealous. I have been to Disney. Never , ever again. Theme parks-meh.

[brasty]

I am not bothered about theme parks either. But xmas, trampolining and other stuff that is seen for kids, I love. I even like going into Hamleys, but ONLY if without kids.

[SunshineDeLaSoul]

I'm not jealous, I just think it's a bit odd. I hated Disney, even with kids. A day at a theme park would be my idea of hell.

[FizzyGreenWater]

We could all do with a lot more folk appreciating that it's nice to have good clean innocent fun and it's a damn sight better than moaning, or selling arms to Saudi Arabia or parking over people's driveways or bombing Syria or being nasty about people giving their children names beginning with K.

SO THERE.

[PicardsCombOver]

Id rather be in Hamleys alone. My boy never gets excited and I'm like a Mexican bean. He actually says 'Yesss Mummy' like I require patience
Poopoo to the spoilsports.

[Fragglez]

I read a magazine article a few years ago about a soft play centre that did adult only sessions - sounded awesome!

[histinyhandsarefrozen]

I judge on Mumsnet but I wouldn't do it in real-life.

Yes, I find adults who go to Disney without kids moronic. No, I'm not jealous.
