A mum was left embarrassed after the manager of a "family friendly" café handed her a dustpan and brush to clean up the mess her baby had left underneath their highchair. The mum took to parenting forum Mumsnet to share what happened to her - which sparked a debate about whether or not it was a reasonable request from the manager.
The mum explained how she visits the café with a group of friends and their babies each week, but was stunned when on her most recent visit, she was asked to clear up the crumbs her child had left underneath her highchair. To make matters more stressful, the parent said her baby girl was "screaming and overtired" due to teething at the time.
The same café owner had reportedly "had a go" at one of the other mums the week before because she claimed her baby had made a mess under his highchair and she didn't clean it up before leaving. Explaining the situation on Mumsnet, the woman said: "This week, as I was packing up to leave (with a screaming overtired baby who is refusing to nap because of teething!), she gave me a dustpan and brush and pointed at the few bit of food under her high chair and asked me to clean up after myself.
