We do not want to talk or play with your children in the lounges. We are experienced and tired flyers who want to do e-mail and be left alone.
Bring the kids, but before you do make the visit a teaching moment about how to behave. You are not raising children, you are raising adulats.

Oxymoron much?
As far as I'm concerned, I've never had a problem with kids in a lounge, or on a plane. I'm a frequent flyer, and when I'm tired, I always remember - I was a kid once, and the excitement of flying when you are young is great.
I hope to God my family never bump into someone so intolerant.
