I hate anal people 🙄

Update the lady left her shift and a different lady said I can go in the room 😊🥰

Ask for forgiveness not permission

I get it being annoying but I'm also a bit of a rule follower, particularly when it comes to work. I imagine her employer probably would have 100% been happy for you to do whatever but some people get anxious about breaking rules and possibly getting into trouble, even for stuff that seems really trivial to the casual observer. So whilst I agree it was silly I'd try not to think too unkindly of her. No matter what the job people can be passionate and want to stick to the rules no matter what. Next time I'd just not ask, people aren't that great at guessing toddler ages anyway.

Don’t ask just go

Agree w Marissa and Marlene. Unless something clearly needs permission I wouldn’t ask. I would’ve just went in there myself- it’s an open public area. I’ve done it many times before

My 18 month old almost always wants to play in the bigger kid areas. As long as you're on top of your kid being safe and not ruining anyone else's time, who cares where they play.

If you ask, they have to tell you the official rules for safety reasons. However, if you just go in I'm sure your one-month-under-three year old will not be questioned about being in the three year old zone.

I do hate it when bigger boisterous kids go in the baby zone though and are running and jumping as they could very easily hurt a little one

You shouldn’t have asked lol
