This is very helpful. I have two major common food allergies and we have such a law in the EU. Yes, some restaurants just write every allergene on every item and call it a day, but those are usually not the good ones. A lot of good restaurants just write tge actually allergenes and “may contain traces of” on the menu and usually the staff is also informed and trained to answer questions regarding allergies.

It is an EU regulation since 2014 though, so it should be required in Sweden.

An American friend that lives here in Germany sent our city’s flag to her parents. They put it up in their front yard to mess with their racist neighbors. When they got mad they just innocently said “Well, that’s just a souvenir from our daughter.”

While I agree that there should be a way harsher response, wasting the regimes resources and thereby throwing a spanner in the works is a legit way of protest.

When I was small my parents just didn’t bring me to hotels that weren’t explicitly for families. Those normal boring grown-up hotels just weren’t for us until we were old enough, so we went to the fun hotels with playgrounds. Why can’t we go back to that?

And people wouldn’t be so annoyed by children if the parents didn’t insist that they should be allowed to run around and do whatever they want. It’s not just “let me go everywhere with my kids”, it’s “let me bring my kids and then let them yell and smash things and cry as much as they want because they are kids.” There’s a nice café in my city where I don’t go anymore, because it’s full of mothers with their toddlers from the nearby playground who just continue playing as loudly as ever. Last time I went I ended up with sand in my coffee when some kid waved around his toy car that was full of sand from the playground. The mother refused to buy me a new coffee because “he’s just a kid”. A beach bar by the river actual changed their policy and now refuses entry to children under 12, because it had become too expensive for them to keep replacing food and drinks every time a kid threw the sand around. And of course the parents usually refused to pay for what their kids destroyed.

If parents can’t be trusted to make good decisions like “My 4-year-old who can’t sit still for more than a minute should not be brought to a spa where people come to relax.” or at the very least feel responsible for what they destroy, this is what happens. And if too many parents refuse to pay up when their kid destroys something, owners will prefer to ban kids.

People who say they don’t like children are being hated on, but 99% of the time they just don’t like children who are allowed to do whatever they want whereever they are and parents who take zero responsibility under the guise of it’s just a child.
