Coffee Shops and Children?

OK so in the last week I had three friends complain to me that when they went to the coffee shop to do some work, they were annoyed with the games moms play with their children in the midst of people studying or working quietly.

I know a coffee shop is a public venue, but common courtesy and logic must be factored in. If a mom's group wants to get together...that is wonderful but please do not go to a library or coffee shop when there are people trying to be productive and need quiet to do so!

I am not trying to offend these great moms just helping then see this from a different perspective.

As a mother or four grown children and a strong advocate of exposing children to as many environments as possible, I get why you might go there, but please be considerate. Everyone life unfortunately does not evolve around your children or parenthood.

There are thousands of other venues more suitable for hide and seek!

Also these parents are not teaching children to be considerate of others either. Come on parents please teach your children how to behave appropriately in all environments by doing so yourself!
