And why shouldn't my children be allowed to come to concerts? I know my childrens limitations and once they start misbehaving they are removed from the area so as not to spoil others enjoyment. We recently went to a Tanglefoot concert and for various reasons (including the fact that they all love the music) took our ten year old and four year old twins with us. The elder one was totally immersed in the music but the little ones started to get fidgety after about 20 mins so were taken out to an area where I could still hear the music but noone could hear them. In the second half the same happened to one child while the other half dozed on her dads knee so no problems there. I took my son out and then brought him in at the back for the last song or two which he sang along with word perfect! I agree that parents should not dump children and run but this is not the childrens fault it is the parents so why should the children be punished by excluding them?
