It's funny when people say they would like to have a child free cafe and people get annoyed. The annoyed may not even have children but want to get annoyed on someone's behalf. I like children, I like them so much I have two. The thing is we brought them up well behaved so they are able to sit quietly and entertain themselves, when they were younger we made sure we were able to entertain them enough so they kept quiet to go out.

Please dont slag off people who would like a quite cafe to sit and have a quiet coffee. If your child cannot sit still, enjoys running around throwing cake then I ask you nicely, look after them. Yes I to have had the thousand yard stare from lack of sleep and wondering what the Lewisham adoption line number is but also realise that as much as my little dears can drive me to distraction at time, they are MY children and I am responsible for their actions. Not the poor lady hunkered over her Mac in the corner not wanting to talk to little Johnny as she has a deadline. Or the guy in the corner who is sneaking in a quick coffee and a catch up on the news on his tablet looking in horror as little Tinkerlilly smears Nutella over his jeans.

So, before you hammer your keyboard to dead in righteous indignation about the Daily Mail link, give a thought to those of us who just want a quiet coffee in a coffee shop with quite well managed children.

However!!

Child free restaurants! NO WAY, do you know how much babysitters are
