I tok my 18 week and 18 month old into Weatherspoons this morning. The lift was out of order so I ended up leaving the baby in the buggy, unstrapping my son and taking him a level (4 steps) to the bar to order my coffee. I took my son because had I left him strapped in the buggy he would have started arching his back and becoming agitated. The buggy was only about 12 feet away from where I was standing at the bar. My boy was toddling about, within a few feet of me while I waited to be served. A lady bought a coffee and was walking past me to her table with it, I saw my son walk round a large pillar and could possibley walk into her path. I warned the lady and said "oooh ! careful" and pointed my son. She walked past him and said loudly "He shouldn't be walking about !"
So I followed her to her seat and asked her why my son should not walk about.
Her "Its not me that says it, its this place."
Me "But YOU said it, what do you expect me to do with him when I place my order ?"
Her "Can't you strap him in a buggy?"
Me "No I will not strap my child down for your convenience>"
Her "I didn't want to step on him"
Me "All you had to do was look where you were going, I warned you he was there."
and then it carried on for another 2 minutes.
So, was I BU ????
I'm gonna get slaughtered, but I am intrigued as to whether or not you think I was out of order.
