Jem, I think most people are happy to be in the same shop as kids. Most people are not happy to be in shops with mommy's and daddies who don't look after their kids. Being a mother or father can be stressful and I often see both parents sitting there with the "thousand yard stare" whilst trying to have a skinny moccha twist with a decaf extra shot.

I have two children, I looked after them when they were younger and took them to coffee shops. I folded their buggy, I put it out the way of other coffee shop users and looked after my kids so they didnt run riot and spoil the other coffee shop users. I would hope others would do the same. They dont always.
