[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they're sharing the other 23 hours and 25 minutes of the day with their kid, and are enjoying taking 35 minutes to catch up with a friend while their child is occupied with something else. Granted, they should be talking quietly so they're not disruptive to others, but can we please not perpetuate this damaging myth that anytime a mother takes a little time away from her child for herself, she's doing something wrong? If they're talking too loudly for you to hear the story, perhaps you could mention it to the librarian before the start of story time next time and ask if she'd give parents a gentle reminder to talk quietly so others can enjoy the story.[/quote] Why not catch up with your friend outside the storytime room?! Come on - these mothers ARE doing something wrong! For 35 minutes they should be modeling good group/class behavior to their child. [/quote]
