Kid at the gym

AIBU to think that the woman who brought her 7 year old to the gym and expected her to behave while she worked out is unbelievably selfish? The child was sat at a table, consumed 2 packets of crisps and a costa drink and was expected to sit quietly. Unsurprisingly she was shouting "I'm bored, can I play with you, that lady looks funny" etc etc and running around in her outdoor shoes over the stretch mats, strewing crisps. Mummy smiled and made simpering comments like "Don't do that darling, sit nicely, sweety". Unfortunately there was only a junior staff member on duty who simpered along with her. I go to the gym to unwind away from kids (I'm a mum and a teacher). If the woman can't get childcare, why wasn't she running around in the park with her daughter for half an hour on this lovely spring evening? FFFUUUMMMME!!

I have a 7 year old. He'd be bored stiff if he was expected to sit in a gym for half an hour!
YADNBU. You want exercise and can't get childcare? Go run round the park with them then while they climb on the equipment and have fun. Win. win. Smile
