The do’s and don’ts of a festival with your kids
FESTIVAL season is upon us and, for parents, the big question is: do we bring the children? You’re just getting into the swing of the gig, listening to a band you’ve heard of (on a comeback tour and dating from an era when you had the time and money to be interested in discovering new music), when your sleeve is tugged and child #2 is telling you they need to go make number-twos.
Wiping a mixture of snot and face paint off a struggling, screaming toddler just isn’t rock and roll, is it? And we’ve all witnessed those hushed negotiations between couples about who has to return to the campsite to put the children to bed.
