Babies in Parliament !!
Throwing dummies out of prams.. Talking and not making sense... Screaming to get attention... and blowing raspberries..!!!!
We already have them there..

[klondike]

... and the likes of Prescott  ... well I'm sure you know what I mean.

Parliament already has a creche.. I assume they want to let new ones in who need feeding by mums..Why not? Given the insensitivities of politicos I doubt they'd notice unless pointed out..

[klondike]

I'd lay odds that many here will have walked past this perfectly natural procedure in public places and just not noticed. If anybody does notice and feels embarassed all they need do is casually look away.

Difference between public places and the working environment

I don't know about others but I would never have breast fed in public !   Yes it's perfectly natural, but not at the bus stop     and yes most people will walk past, but there's always the odd pervert who doesn't see it as a natural procedure.  Not for me.

I have a VERY old fashioned attitude to children, it's always caused a lot of rows especially with my ex DIL. I have always said if your going to have a baby, that's great but you look after it, you don't expect others to give up their way of life so you can dump your baby on them and return to work. 
AND, yes I did give up my work and looked after my kids myself untill they both went to school and I returned to work and they went into after school groups.

My views too Raven.  My daughter decided very young that she didn't want children as they didn't fit in with her biker lifestyle, something she has never regretted.  MP's and Parliament are not for split loyalties, you can't mix a demanding job like motherhood (at least in the early years) with a super demanding (or should be) job as an MP, these women who want it all make me sick, something enveriably has to give.

Confronted this a few times in my way of life in the past.

I don't believe one should 'impose' one's children on other folk who are attempting to earn a living. It's a distraction and the two just don't go together, especially in the atmosphere of a parliament or a court, both centres, or should be of serious exchange.

Indeed, I'd have missed my bus!

[Alex]

I rest my case   

[Scrumpy]

Indeed, I'd have missed my bus!

... missed the bus. !

and as for being perfectly natural... so is defication, or urinating
