A mum has taken to a popular online parenting forum to share her frustration after she was given dirty looks by a man for taking her toddler to a cafe. Since the pandemic more people appear to be working from home and may wish to change scenery by working in a coffee shop, but this parent is reminding people a public place isn't an office and you can't expect everyone else to be silent.
In a post on Mumsnet, the mum wrote about how a man was "sat sighing and rolling his eyes" at her toddler, and made her feel like she had no option but to confront him because of how rude he was being, reported the Daily Mirror. She stated: "I'm probably being unreasonable for posting here in the first place since there's a bit of an anti-kids in public sentiment here at times, but when did it become acceptable for people to think a coffee shop is the same as an office?
"I was just having breakfast and a coffee with my toddler and someone was taking a teams call at a nearby table. If it's relevant we were seated first.
