Hello everyone
Hi there everyone, just new to the group having stumbled upon it
recently. I am mother to a gorgeous 11-year-old girl and we live in Ireland, where is everyone here from? I thought you might be interested to hear about a fantastic place I was at recently when on holiday in Liverpool, England, (where I have to say, they are more child-friendly than Ireland). It was a kind of fun warehouse place where parents can bring their kids to play, there was lots of mats, toy cookers, slides, wendy houses, things to climb on, all sorts of fun stuff. But amazingly, it cost only £2.50 an hour for the child to play or £4 for the day. The parents can sit and watch their children, have coffee/tea (for only 60p) and most importantly talk to other parents. When my daughter was younger and I was really, really broke (as opposed to just being broke, lol) I would have loved somewhere like this. I just remember the isolation when my child was small and a place like that would have been a life saver. Perhaps more remarkable was the price, which really was for nothing, but they are obviously making enough profit. So even if you could only manage to go once a week, its still a fantastic support mechanism for both parents and child. Anyway there you go, just thought maybe you would be interested in hearing about the play place. If I had the money, I would open one here in Dublin but you probably couldnt afford the insurance. Bye for now SA |

Hi SA, nice to see another Irish person here. I live the other side of the country to you, north west. I've two boys 11 and 13. We've just moved back from UK and they are loving the life here, particularly having so many lovely beaches within easy reach. They were raised in the city and wouldn't go back for all the tea in China. I thought you might be interested to hear about a fantastic place I was at recently when on holiday in Liverpool, England, (where I have to say, they are more child-friendly than Ireland). Ooh I dont know about child friendly, but I never really went to L'Pool. UK has to have so many facilities cos it just isn't safe to allow yer kids to roam around, probably the same in Dublin. It was a kind of fun warehouse place where parents can bring their kids to play, Sounds like Whacky Warehouse. Yeah, the kids love it, mine have kinda outgrown it. there was lots of mats, toy cookers, slides, wendy houses, things to climb on, all sorts of fun stuff. But amazingly, it cost only £2.50 an hour for the child to play or £4 for the day. The parents can sit and watch their children, have coffee/tea (for only 60p) and most importantly talk to other parents. LOL....That's if ya can hear what they're saying, these places are inclinded to be very noisey... When my daughter was younger and I was really, really broke (as opposed to just being broke, lol) I would have loved somewhere like this. I just remember the isolation when my child was small and a place like that would have been a life saver. Perhaps more remarkable was the price, which really was for nothing, but they are obviously making enough profit.

Anyway there you go, just thought maybe you would be interested in hearing about the play place. If I had the money, I would open one here in Dublin but you probably couldnt afford the insurance. I'm surprised there aren't any in Dublin, how about a park? When my lads were little the park was a life saver, gave me breathing space and used up their boundless energy. Bye for now Anyway, stick around it's nice to see the Irish contingent increased by 50%. )) Dolores |

Hello everyone
"Steve" wrote in message ... I had an American friend visit the UK last year and he thought we are very child UN friendly......but I tried to explain that children are welcome in most places in the UK as long as they are moderatly well behaved......unfortunatly he seemed to think that letting his kid run around a pub like a ninnie after boosting her caffeen supply with coke was moderatly well behaved....and then wondered why he kept attracting cross glanses and mutterings of "bloody Americans" Thanks for the reminder why I am so glad to get my kids out of the UK....A country where it is acceptable to let dogs **** everywhere that kids are playing and where people tut tut at parents whos' kids are a bit boisterous.
