I believe she was refering to people who bring their children into any shop and let them run wild. But there are cases where people do take their children to work, I was one. I had just had my Daughter, (this was 30 some years ago) and a lady heard that I knew how to sew and approached me about me about working for her. I told her I couldn't as I would not put my child in a daycare or hire someone else to raise her. Well long story short, I went to work in her shop making drapries and my daughter came to work everyday with me. We made it work, and provided safety with irons and such. It worked out for 5 years, then my other Daughter came along, and I decided to stay home with both of them. So I know there are more people out there then just me who take their children to work.
