- Not a surprsing attitude since the SCA puts children on a scale that is
- somewhere between roaches and rodents. Up here kids do events rather
- well. I don't know what you mean by "handle a full event well"
- I take my 8 year old to events and he handles them better than most
- adults. I don't hear him whining about the feast. and court what the
- camp next to us doing and all the other stuff people whine about.
-
- This attitude about kids rather bites. At our last event. we pulled
- up to our campsite and before we could get the hatch open the next
- camp over put up a sign that said "No kids". I was pissed but my
- 8 year said "aw thier just wankers dad". We pitched the tent and
- ignored them. So it's just too bad we want to include our children
- now isn't it?
