[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Church welcomes children too ( Episcopal) and I have been taking DD since she was a month old and she is now 6. There is a difference between a baby babbling or a 2yo trying to quietly play with quiet toys and children running up and down the pews and 6yo's wrestling in the communion line. Churches dont want to lose families but parents are taking advantage and not teaching their children to be respectful of others.[/quote]

OP again.

I love how eloquently you stated this. I promise that I don't get annoyed every time a child makes a sound...it is frustrating when the parents don't appear to try to teach their children to behave in church.

I think it is a two-way street...we adults need to be tolerant of bored children, and children need to be taught to not disrupt people who are trying to listen.

I will look into earlier services. I am a bit limited by when churches offer services in English. Otherwise I am completely lost because I'm still learning Dutch.[/quote]
