With all due respect, why on Earth would you ever want to bring an under 2-year old to a football match anyway? |  | | |

Not being a parent, I can't make a judgement, it can't be ideal whatever way you look at it? |  |

Being a parent of a 2 year old myself, there is not a chance in hell I could even imagine taking him to a football match. It’s not fair on anyone - the parent, the child or the other fans sitting nearby (I’ve also been that fan sitting next to a constantly unsettled 3-4 y/o).
I think my boy is going to love football as he grows up, it’s often all he wants to play with outside, but 2 is far too young to even consider it. I don’t plan on taking him until he’s at least 6! | | | |

The only reason you’d take them is for a photo to show off online
No need at all to take a 2 year old.

Also as a parent - its not a great idea.
Anecdotally saw someone at a friendly in 2021/22 preseason with his baby (definitely under 1) and he had 3 bags of stuff and seemed annoyed when the steward wouldn't watch the bags for him while he went to the toilet. |  | | |

The kid she is talking about isn’t 2.
It’s 10 weeks. |  |

Quite. As a parent to a 3 and 1 year old I don't know why on earth you would want to take a 2 year old toddler to football. Mine would be restless and not want to sit still after 2 minutes, not to mention not be able to see anything. |  |

So what about exec box use? A large number of players have their family use the relevant box with under 2s in tow |  |

And Norwich as well....I mean that's more the worry, surely? |  |

Probably looked so much like it’s uncle/dad/grandad that the steward was confused | |

The comments thus far seem to indicate that people are in favour of BANNING under 2s then.
So the FA have got this right.
Interesting.... | | | |

Wouldn’t say that, it’s just an odd place to take a 10wk old.
That said, if she can’t get a baby sitter why can’t she still go? It’s hell on earth, but it’s no strip club. | |

Well, I guess we just did it wrong then... forgot to do the photo thing to show off online. (edit: I think the pic in my avatar was when she was about 4)
Both KJ and I were season ticket holders when Yasmin was born, we took her from a very young age - from a few weeks old. We go together, we've always shared responsibility for her, and she's grown up being familiar with 'matchday' that we've done all together - she's enjoyed singing, getting autographs and talking to some of the player's children as well after games. She's now 10, has done the flying the flag experience, been a mascot away at Accrington in the cup, and did some of the trials they had a few weeks back for girls footy.
Should we have stopped going for 6 years when she was born, or had to draw straws on who went and who didn't to take it in turns to go? I feel I've done parenthood all wrong now, as we took her so young. I apologise to anyone who is offended by my/our actions.
From a bad parent. [Post edited 10 Aug 2022 12:33]

I never said people were wrong for doing it so just chill a bit.
But taking a baby, imo, is crazy. Personally even as a dad if I was stuck next to a crying baby, or pain in the arse toddler I’d be pretty pissed off.
But as your kids are now older you don’t need to worry about it, or explain it. | |

I took my son from about 4/5, he enjoyed it, remembers it and it was a really fun day.
Much younger than that and I doubt the child will remember/care, but as others have said, also quite likely to disturb others.
Of course if it’s a childcare issue and you’d need to take it in turns looking after the child, then I understand that makes it difficult.
I guess in a family area, with other babies/toddlers it wouldn’t matter so much. |  |

Purely on a “here we go again” basis.

No problem. I'm chilled.
People were saying on various replies things like "why on Earth would you ever want to bring an under 2-year old to a football match anyway?" - not just your post, so I only replied to yours as the last of those, just giving reasons why we did, and may be a similar scenario for others. | |

In this case specifically I can only assume exposing children of all ages to Norwich city constitutes child abuse, so I'm all for these measures. | |

This is why you take your baby to the nearest IKEA and put them into the daycare area.
You then pretend to take a trolley, loop back out of the store and return for your little darling after the match. |  |
