Southlake mall doing it right

That would kind of be doing it wrong. The sign should not have to say that second line at all.

Anyone who interprets "family" to mean "dad not allowed" is an asshole, and is helping society to decay.

To me it comes off like "Families welcome...and dads too, I guess, if they're even part of the family". It feels condescending.

"Family" should be assumed to include everyone equally, and not leave dads as a second thought.

I like this very much.

On principle, I agree with those who say that there should be no differentiation necessary.

But in practical terms, this sign might stop innocent fathers being abused as paedophiles for being in the family room with their kids. That, my friends, is worth its weight in gold.

That doesn't seem like the kind of thing you would just automatically have. They might have had some trouble where people were complaining about dads being in the family lounge and were like, "Well...yeah. Dads are welcome. It's a FAMILY lounge." and it was a reoccurring thing so they added the "Dads Welcome" part to stop the complaints.

Just a theory, I have no proof for it, but dads not being part of the family doesn't seem like something someone would think of while planning a mall.

Why not just have a family lounge where all parents etc are welcome

I suspect the actual meaning is not to include dads, but rather to exclude males who are not with their own children.

is this southlake, texas? if so, get ready for coppell lax

Yeah, they may be doing it right but it's sad that a sign for something called a family lounge has to point out that dads are welcome. In a decent society it should be taken as a given.

IAmTheBauss · 2012-12-16T00:28:05+00:00

It should say "Everyone allowed!"
