I feel all dirty and disloyal to the sisterhood but really......

**re-read the blog and realised I had missed the whole point** Apologies.

I have to say, if I went to the Olympics and got a seat I would not want to be next to a screaming baby. I won't sit next to someone's screaming baby on public transport so why should I put up with it at a sporting event. Or am I missing the point here?

Why would anyone take a baby, toddler or small child to an Olympic event anyway? I have enough trouble concentrating around Asda when my two year old in in tow, so why would I spend money on a ticket and take her?

So on that point I wouldn't want to spend money to listen to someone else's child lamenting that they are 'bored' for a couple of hours!

I don't think the debate is whether there are babies allowed or not - clearly they are allowed if you can buy tickets for them. The debate is whether their parents should have to pay for tickets for them at all.

I didn't see it. I think babies should go free. As much as I agree it's unpleasant to be tormented by annoying children (I include my own). The Olympics should be a family event - unless silence is required like bowls - then sport for all I say. If you get tickets next to screaming kids that's just unlucky. I don't believe in children should be seen and not heard - it's 2012 not 1812. What a fucked up country we are - so insular.

Well, not being a really sporty person, but I thought at football and rugby there are family enclosures. Are the organisers of 2012 not allowing for family enclosures?

I can think of some more instances where I would not like to sit next to someone else's child regardless of whether they are behaving or not, although I am thinking of children under six or so who tend to squirm and whine. The cinema for starters - why do children's bladders shrink the moment they sit down in a cinema I wonder - they just go back and forth to the toilet for the entire film. And whilst I am on the subject of kids in cinemas, why do some people feel the urge to take their small kiddies to a late night showing of a U or PG film? An opera, any nice restaurant if it is after 8pm -ish.

I am all for children being seen and heard, as long as they know when to be quiet and behave.
