LF - Thanks for typing this up (and it's nice to see a parent who understands those who do not have children). I am perfectly happy assisting my sister in raising my nephews and donating money to families with children who need it, but can't provide on their own due to sad circumstances.
Back to the specific topic at hand, I am fine with children being around as long as the parent is involved and keeping an eye on them. I don't expect restrictions in the PC or FC, but I do expect parents to be accountable.
