Reply To: bringing babies and small children to megillah reading

I asked the question in order to encourage discussion on a matter that really bothers me. It really bothers me when a baby is screaming next to me and then I feel upset because I left my babies home with my husband so I could listen to the megillah. I am glad to see that many posters agree with me, like “QuestionForYou”. I try to go to megillah readings late at night when most kids are sleeping and early the next morning (when they are still sleeping) 🙂 I love kids but not their noise during megillah reading!
