I'm at the museum with my baby who is 7 months. The museum currently have an exhibition called 'I can do it myself' which is an interactive, nature display for babies (0-2). It's all things at floor level which they can climb over, touch, play with and 'do it themselves'. Basically the aim is that you step back and let them discover themselves. DS is loving the 'nest' which is a giant whicker dog bed basket full of fluffy materials and eggs of different sizes, materials, sounds. He's particularly enjoying the fact that a girl of around 3 or 4 is playing nicely with him and passing him a new egg every time he gets bored of the one he has. It's lovely.
Problem is that a few minutes ago a group of women arrived with 1 baby who is asleep and 3 boys aged around 5/6. The boys are charging around the room like they're in a playground, diving into exhibits, being all rough and tumble and making it unsafe for 0-2s. The adults don't seem to be concerned apart from glaring at me when I told 2 of the boys to be careful when they climbed into the 'nest' and started throwing the eggs at each other.
Should I say something or am I expecting too much in a public place aimed at children? I don't know if it makes a difference that there's a massive adventure playground just outside.
