children

Screaming children don't really belong anywhere, other than at home, in my opinion. But definitely, absolutely, 100%, they do not belong in a public library. I am four stories up, in a room with closed doors, and I can still hear some child screaming at the top of their lungs downstairs in the library. She has been screaming for five minutes. You would think the parents would have left at this point. Guess what? They haven't.

Who cares if the child isn't bothering you, because this is the same way they act at home? One of the reasons I don't have kids is because I don't want to listen to them scream. Your hanging out here with your screaming child kind of defeats that purpose.
