Just wondering what the general opinion is here. We went to view a house and took kids, toddler and 5 year old with us. They were both well behaved and didn't run off around the house touching things or misbehaving but stayed with us as we viewed the house and only asked can they take their coats off and did they have to take their shoes off? The little one had to be watched by the stairs but we took it in turns so we both had a chance to focus on viewing the house. There was no playing about, shouting, interrupting, eating or filling nappies. We arrived at the appointment on time and left on time.
The estate agent said we should have left them outside in the car and that in her day she got left in the car while her dad was in the pub. I said that people don't tend to leave their kids in cars much these days if they can avoid it and she said in her day she was too scared of being hit and that things today have gone too far the other way.
AIBU to think that if children behave themselves they ought to be allowed to look at the house in which they may one day live?! I don't understand why some people have a problem with children just being there, if they're being naughty or inconsiderate I get it but if they're being well behaved what's the problem? I left feeling that we were in the wrong and our kids are a pain in the arse just by existing.
