The Ready or Not podcast host Lauren Treweek shared a story about a woman in her 70s who she said aggressively turned around and demanded her friend to âtell your kids to be quiet” in the outdoor section of a cafe â kicking off a huge debate in the podcastâs comment section.
Etiquette expert Kate Heussler told Yahoo Lifestyle that because cafes are a âshared social environmentâ, âyouâre going to encounter conversations, laughter, crying babies, the occasional tantrum.â
But, she acknowledged that that âdoesnât mean parents have a free pass to disregard everyone around them.â
âChoosing not to have children is entirely your prerogative. Expecting never to encounter them in public is another matter altogether.â
Kate added that âthere are perfectly reasonable ways to express discomfort without resorting to public humiliation, intimidation or profanity.â
