[quote=Anonymous]Having been a mom with an older child in dance and younger two that age, you're in a near-impossible situation. I always tried to keep my kids away from people who looked like they wanted peace, but it's not always possible. Depending on where the studio is perhaps the mom could take the kids outside (not possible at our studio), but even then weather's going to make that a problem.

Unless you expect her to hand each kid a tablet, it's not going to be quiet.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd take it easy on her. You don't know what she was dealing with. Maybe she had only planned to bring the child who had class and her sitter cancelled, or her husband was stuck in traffic and at the last minute she had to bring the other two without being able to plan accordingly. She might have been flustered and not thinking clearly. She might have been dealing with any number of unknown circumstances. I try to assume the best in people and to be kind, because, cliche as it sounds, you never really know what anyone else is going through.[/quote]

Are you supposed to get a sitter for younger children when you take your older child to dance class?  [/quote]

Having been the one on the end of the weird stares for months and years on end, I know a lot of parents DO, but it's absurd to expect them to.[/quote]
