Now don&#8217;t get me wrong there are some places where I think small children shouldn&#8217;t be like in a cinema or restaurant at night and under my table when I am eating out. However, just this weekend I have seen people complain about small kids making a small amount of noise in a museum exhibition (really do you need silence to look at a picture?) and in a massively child friendly restaurant.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/children-in-public-places\/kid-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7061\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7061\" title=\"kid\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/kid.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nIn the exhibition someone who obviously didn&#8217;t have kids said &#8216;Sshh. Be quiet&#8217; to a 2 year old who wasn&#8217;t doing much besides babbling to her dad. What ensued was a LOUD conversation reminding said &#8216;be quiet man&#8217; that he was in a public space, and not his house. At the restaurant (which is SO child friendly it has a separate menu for kids and balloons for kids) I watched an irritated couple roll their eyes, make annoyed noises and generally throw not very nice looks at everyone&#8217;s kids who were not running about or screaming or doing anything beyond being excited kids.\r\n\r\nI don&#8217;t know what people who don&#8217;t like kids think parents should do. Perhaps stick to McDonalds and the park? Maybe never let our kids speak\/talk\/express a view when they&#8217;re out in public? I know some kids do run riot when outside BUT there are also some people who just seem to bristle whenever they see a kid in their space. I have just been in France and Italy where people take a much more loving approach to children. Stopping to talk to them and embracing their presence as normal in places like restaurants and shops. It&#8217;s something the UK definitely needs to take on.\r\n\r\nBut what do you think should children be seen and not heard in public or should people be more tolerant? Let us know.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There seems to be a bit of a I-hate-children when I am out campaign going on at the moment.
