We took the front row because we'd been accused of being bad parents. Because I wouldn't let my kids run around unsupervised at school programs,touch everything in the store, made them stay with me, use please and thank you, tell the truth etc....
So we decided to sit in the first pew "In front of God, Bishop and everybody" so there could be NO DOUBT as to what we were doing with our kids!!!!
Had to protect ourselves from the gossip mongers.
Also weren't we setting a 'good example' when we took the kids out before they were disrupting the meeting????
Of course when there was an "event" in our ward the lazy visiting relatives would park their junk on the first 15 rows and not take their seats until half a minute before the meeting started. But God help you if you moved one of those purses over a little so you could sit down! You were soooooooooo RHUDE!!!!! How DARE you????
The Bishop refused to open the back of the chapel claiming those who were late didn't deserve to sit in the chapel. So some sundays we 'had no room at the inn' for our family to sit.
