Tired mum with screaming baby handed dustpan and brush to clean up baby’s 'mess' before leaving cafe

A mum was handed a dustpan and brush to clean up her baby's mess as she was leaving her local cafe. Taken aback by this response from the "family-friendly" venue, she asked Mumsnet users if she was being unreasonable by not wanting to clean up after her baby in a cafe.

She said: "I go with a group of friends and our babies to a cafe each week. Apparently, the week before last the cafe manager had a go at one of the mums because she said that her baby made a mess under his high chair and she didn't clean it up before she left.

"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 bits of food under her high chair and asked me to clean up after myself. It's advertised as a very family-friendly cafe." You can get more news likes this and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
