Now there is a website that you can look up to find baby friendly cafes for "those who don't want to give up on good coffee...". Heaven forbid you might have to make a change in your life! This site provides scores on overall experience (theirs or mine?) change tables (in a food environment, fantastic), high chairs, friendliness of staff and play areas. It's a fucking cafe you dimwits not a jumping castle. I don't come over to day care centres and sit in the middle of the floor reading the business review and screaming I want Chardonnay and I want it NOW. Too many times do I see children running out of control through cafes where poor wait staff are balancing trays of hot coffee and expected to say nothing. It's time someone told these parents that their kids are arseholes and it appears to be heredity. Cafes are adult environments where you sit and you eat and you drink. It is not a playfield for the spawn of Satan to behave like they do in their overstuffed homes. No, cafes are not children friendly because they are adult places. If you didn't want to give up going to cafes for a few years then you should have kept your pants on.
As long as you are not talking about my little angel, Lorna ... then that's okay!!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I kept my kids out of cafes until they were old enough to sit still long enough for me to properly enjoy a coffee. Not that they were kids-from-hell, but it's no fun for them either to be made to sit when they'd rather not.
ReplyDeleteExcellent now we know which cafe's to avoid!
ReplyDeleteHear hear!
ReplyDeleteSapphire did taste her first babycino at two but was a proper lady. Still is, in fact.
