[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The place where my 8-yr DD does gymnastics started letting parents sit in the waiting room again in mid-March (went to mask optional then too).  Her class is at a time when traffic is bad and stores, etc. are packed, so I never wanted to use the time to run errands or grocery shop...I already had that all planned during other times in my week.  I sit in the waiting room and  use the time to read or mindlessly scroll on my phone, and I also peer in here and there at my DD.  I actually wouldn't even do the latter, but it makes my DD super happy to see me sitting there and watching a bit.  90% of the parents in the waiting area are doing what I'm doing.  It's nice to have the option.   [/quote]

This is such a waste of time and space.  [/quote]

Are you a troll?  An entrance/changing/waiting area to a gym is a "waste of space"???  Just what???  The actual gym portion of this business is spacious -- there is sufficient room for the waiting area.  And I assure you that I am a busy and productive member of society.  I parent young children and work 35 hours a week.  It is most certainly not a waste of my time to, for an hour here and there, read a book or even read something mindless on the internet.  You never read or relax?  You don't think those things are important to mental and physical health?  When the waiting area was closed, I sat in my car and did those things, and it was fine. But now I can also watch when it's my DD's turn on the bar with the instructor, or whatever.  Like I said, my DD loves being able to show me what she is working on and how she has improved, etc.  She's really excited and proud (we don't have gymnastics equipment at home).  It's nice to have that connection and better understanding of what she's working on.  Her gymnastic place/class is low key.  The parents are chill -- just sort of poking their heads up like me.
