[quote=Anonymous]DD started at a new dance studio. Each individual room has its own tiny waiting room attached for the parents to wait, and then a larger lobby. Very much like a doctor’s office in a medical building, only much smaller.

The  girls went in, and the group of parents - there were five of us - were all quietly reading or working on laptops in the tiny waiting room. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All of a sudden, a mom showed up with a latecomer and three younger kids, a newborn, and a maybe 2 and 3yo. As she helped the oldest strip out of her clothes and shoes, she exchanged loud dialog with the middle two. The oldest went into the studio, but the mom continued to loudly converse with the middle two. Meanwhile, the 2yo started jumping on the chairs, bouncing off of them, at one point, kicking the other child. Crying ensued, then shouting about who meant to or didn’t mean to. The mom whipped out some coloring books and crayons, but the boy kept SHOUTING the different crayon colors. The mom kept shushing the kids and telling them to use ‘indoor voices’, but the distraction never seized until the class let out.

Should she have taken the other three into the main lobby, or outside even? Was this rude or was it just me?[/quote]
