Im a guy, who was happy to bring his daughter to work (5 at the time) every now and again.
One day I left her in my office, while I went to a meeting. When I came back she was GONE. A quick lap around the office and I could not find her. Another lap and I spotted her. She was in my bosses office coloring. He, and her were having a grand old time, and he clearly found my distress "amusing" as I really had nothing to be worried about.
As someone who thinks kids in the office every now and again is a good thing, there are limits. For me it would be a conference, and it might be for others as well.
> started making noise, and it was apparent that people across the room could hear the noise." Sarna suggested that Brandt and Darwin could move to a different area
“I approached someone whose infant could be heard across the room and politely asked that she move somewhere else within that same room” is a great line to take because it doesn’t make any sense at all. The only ways to deal with a noise that can be heard across the room are to either ignore it or find a way to remove the source of the noise from the room.
Since everyone agrees that it wasn’t the former, the latter makes way more sense than baby musical chairs.
