Sounds like you don't know what sociopath means. Or you think "getting carried away" during a story time is not indicative of self-involved, narcissistic behavior that disregards the needs of others, Obviosuly a lot if moms on this post disagree with you.

Oh, my.

It's time for my first-ever "unclench."

Is there a ceremony for that?

PP, careful. Your idiocy is peeking showing.

I agree with you. It doesn't matter if it's a nanny or a parent. When you take a kid to an event, you have respect for the presenter and model correct behavior.

Parents who check their cell phones during theater presentations also drive me nuts.

Story time volunteer here. How can you expect your three year old to sit still and pay attention if you yourself are incapable of doing so. It's story time-shhh! You can chat when we bring out the toys at the end.

Get a life, PP. You sound stunningly pathetic. I take my child to story time for her sake - not my own. I actually have friends and a life and don't feel the need to talk when the librarian is working.

If you adapted better manners, maybe people would like you more and you wouldn't need to corner another woman in story time (where she can't get away).

Presumably you can read, as can your many friends who enjoy your company. Nothing happens at story time at the library that you couldn't replicate by asking a friend to read to the assembled kids at a play date.

I paid for my nanny to do Music Together at her request so she could get out of the house. The program does nothing for babies that playing around on the floor with some noise making items wouldn't do, but you have to give adults something or they'll lose it.

While this may be true, it doesn't negate the fact that people make a trip out of their home to attend these activities with their children, and for the respect of all participants people should be quiet when it is time to do so. There is always an opportunity for chatting before or after books are read and songs sung.

By your logic, our kids should be allowed to interrupt their teachers at school because I could teach basic math and spelling at home.

I am honestly astounded by the people defending and making excuses for a parent's poor behavior at a community event! Of course you should never talk to your friends when other adults and children are trying to listen during library story time!!!! Respect others and save your conversations for an appropriate time and place.

Go to the Library of Congress storytime. They will shut the talking down in a hot minute. It is so satisfying to see those people get yelled at.
