Ding, ding!
I think with some parents, there is the expectation that people should accommodate them because they have kids.
Example: I went for a pedi recently and there was a MOM who brought her 2-year-old with her while she got a mani. She got upset when the nail lady told her that her kid needed to stay in the waiting area.
The whole time she was being serviced, the kid kept crying (because she left him in the waiting area and he couldn't come back there). Mom asked for crayons and such to keep him occupied and got an attitude when the nail lady was like "we don't have any."
So, kiddo cried in the waiting area and disturbed what was supposed to be my nice relaxing pedi. To top it off, when mom left, she flounced and declared that she was never coming back again. lol.
I'm sorry, a freaking salon isn't supposed to be kid-friendly.
When you have kids, eithr you get a sitter or you do your manis at home.

That takes nerve! The owner should have told her to take the kid home!

That's exactly what would have gone down at my nail place, those ladies are no joke! The only kids I've seen in there are the ones getting their nails done.

Shortly after that, they put a notice up saying that any kids not getting their nails done will be asked to leave (or will be sold). lol.

My grandmother manages an antique mall and they have a sign posted that says something along the lines of "Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy."
An antique mall is one of the the last places I'd want children to run free.
