Uninviting or Welcoming?

I was on an early morning walk with Luke through a neighborhood of Ohio, when this sign struck me. It is something I have noticed in American culture that really strikes me as unwelcoming.  I thought, "Gosh, I guess I will stay clear of that area!  I wouldn't want the dog to come get me!"

In Asian culture people are much more welcoming of kids, but in America they seem to be in the way.  I must try to hush them or apologize for them.

In Asia they have a view "There's always room for more", and you can see them squeeze a whole neighborhood of people onto a Jeepney.  In America they ask how many kids you can have based on how many car seats fit in the car.

I'm risking a little here, putting my real thoughts out there on this one, but I am going to give it a shot anyway.
