[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I have another example, haha. You take your crawling 10-month-old to baby and me music class - a class designed for babies under 18-months. There is a mom in there who has her open purse on the floor, and it's got all kinds of baby bait in it - keys, juice boxes, wallet with cards, etc. Your baby is 10-months-old - yes, she is old enough to be learning basic discipline, but she's not very good at it yet, because she's 10-months-old. Your baby keeps crawling over to the mom's open purse, and you keep telling her no and dragging her away. Eventually she starts crying and you have to leave. Okay, yes, it's good for babies of all ages to learn limits, and I guess this was a good learning opportunity. But still, you brought her to this class so she could play and sing songs for half an hour, and now you have to leave because some other mom can't just put her purse out of the reach of the babies? Notice I didn't say I tried to control anything - I didn't tell the mom to put her purse away. I did what the other PP said, I tried to control my child as much as possible and then I left. But come on, I can't be annoyed at this other mom, at the very least?[/quote]
