I'm not religious but sometimes go with someone who is. This week there were three toddlers screaming/crying/babbling through the service.
Their parents let them run up and down the aisle. At one point one mum picked the kid up, but instead of going to the back, just sort of hung around in the middle of the aisle with the kid. As if she wanted us to be like 'awww what an adorable little scamp.' During the service.
I can imagine that for someone spiritual it's especially annoying when trying to pay attention to the sermon or the prayers, reading etc.
Honestly, if you know you've got a screamer, you are not going to be able to bring the kid to church for a couple of years, or alternate with a partner if you have one.
Yes, Jesus loved children, but it doesn't mean little Tarquin should get to scream through the service.
AIBU to be really annoyed about disruptive children in church?
