votes: 14
I think every chapel should have a specal room to leave them in with toys or even a video. Its hard to consentrate when theres crying babies all around you. it must put the priest of to
nah - if you are concentrating hard enough on your prayers or what the priest is saying, you dont really hear them.
A soundproof kids/family room is a good idea (assists those with lesser powers of concentration)
but not every place can fit one in.
as you do enough whinging now, I can only imagine you did a fair bit of whining as a baby and folk obv tolerated yerself ;)
This morning at the start of mass, the priest walked up onto the alter and discovered that the microphone was not working, so he said "there is something wrong here"
And the congregation replied "and also with you"
Babies should not be aloud in Mass. Little gags should be distributed at the doors.
QuoteALOUD/ALLOWED
If you think Grandma allowed the kids to eat too much ice cream, you'd better not say so aloud, or her feelings will be hurt.
"Aloud" means "out loud" and refers to sounds (most often speech) that can be heard by others. But this word is often misused when people mean "allowed," meaning "permitted."
The children are already
aloud - the question should be "Should babies be
allowed" at mass, surely?
Did you have a bad experience at Mass this morning Armagh4SamAgain?
No, they should be a-prayin.
True or not Orior, that is very funny
No I have to agree with AFSA, the chapel i go to hasn't one but two of those quiet rooms for kids
and not one of them is used, i keep moving further up to the front and have even attended masses
at different times to get away from it but I'll swear they follow me, :'(
It is distracting.

St Brides?
Try going to a different parish. Some parishs have more babies than others and only catholic babies count cause the other ones dont go to mass
If it was good enought for Jesus then its good enought for us
Someone will have to help me out, at what point are we suppose to laugh?

suffer little children who come unto me for theres is the kingdom of ect.....
Good man Pints! Keep her lit ;D
I think the real issue here is should Mothers and Babies be given seats right by the alter, and of course the best parking ;D
there's a wee baby in our place now, and they've a wee crib and everything for him. Not a whimper out of him as he plays with his wee cows and donkeys
It's never too early to stop the indoctrination of the little ones plus if they didn't go to mass everyweekend they'd go straight to hell.
What about midnight mass? Is there anywhere that still does it at midnight or did the drunks falling out of the pub and into the pews put an end to it?
Oh and don't forget your new outfit as the fashion parade as you go up for communion is unreal at this time of year.

Parents should stay at home with their kids until they can go to Mass without bothering others, take turns. It appears that either there is an unwilling ness by one or other partner to stay at home and mind the infants or they take the children to act as a distraction during Mass. Never took ours until they went to school.
Why torture the poor children by taking them to Mass before they are old enough to have a clue about what is going on? Nobody benefits!
100% spot on.
It would help if there was some manners on the children - not their fault they don't know any different but the parent's do or should!

true POG, they are like little cut down people, not all of them, the amount of money parents spend on designer clothes for one day is ridiculous. when you ask some of them why they tell you its because little Jonnie wont wear anything else other than this or that label, well ask youself this, why will little Jonnie not do it? Its because the way he was brought up FFS

I'll tell you something Hardstation don't be under any illusion that early Christmas mornings end when your kids get older. Mine are aged 15 and 13 and they'll be in our bedroom at 5 am excitedly showing us the stuff they got, even though they know that the wife and I set it out about 3 hours earlier
