Etiquette for free park concert for kids

[Anonymous]

If you ever don’t know the right thing to do just stop and think how you would feel if you were the other person. How would you feel if you got there early specifically so you could see and someone sat in front of you. There’s your answer. It’s very easy really.

What’s the right thing to do when you come later? Sit only behind them even if there is room in front of the early people?

What about once the concert starts and the little kids are up and dancing? Can I hold my toddler in front to watch (possibly blocking families still sitting on their blankets?)

Ugh. Don’t be this selfish person.

+1. This. And remember we’re talking about little kids here. Little kids who came early and are sitting waiting for the band/show.
