Not a surprsing attitude since the SCA puts children on a scale that is
somewhere between roaches and rodents.  Up here kids do events rather
well. I don't know what you mean by "handle a full event well"
I take my 8 year old to events and he handles them better than most 
adults.  I don't hear him whining about the feast. and court what the
camp next to us doing and all the other stuff people whine about.  

This attitude about kids rather bites.  At our last event. we pulled
up to our campsite and before we could get the hatch open the next
camp over put up a sign that said "No kids".  I was pissed but my
8 year said "aw thier just wankers dad".  We pitched the tent and
ignored them.  So it's just too bad we want to include our children
now isn't it?
