[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a situation in which you get a babysitter. There are lots of activities that are really for adults and are not meant for toddlers. That doesn't mean that you have to leave your kid at the unfamiliar nursery; it means you make other plans in advance. I would never assume I could take a young toddler to a church service....[/quote]

But you're obviously very comfortable assuming everyone who wants to go to church has the funds and resources to hire a babysitter.  Every.  Sunday.

That is an absurd and entitled assumption to make.[/quote]

OP, seeing this for the first time: I feel so sorry for this person who wouldn't asssume her child was welcome in church. I'm really sorry your experiences led you to that thought. [/quote]

This is mind boggling to me.  Who in the world gets a babysitter on Sun. morning so you can go to church?!?  Church is for the FAMILY.  What kind of church did you grow up at?

Personally, I wouldn't leave my toddler at the nursery of a church I'd never been to.  Not because I'd be concerned that there's anything wrong with the staff or facilities but because my toddler would not be comfortable being left in an unfamiliar environment, even with the nicest people and toys.  We did use our church nursery but it was a gradual process of first staying in the room with the baby for part of service when he was being fussy, then leaving him there for a short period, and then eventually just dropping him off for the whole service.[/quote]
