It's just the way it is. Maybe the younger children can stay home next time. Sorry for your bad experience. billie

I think working people want to get their work done so they can go home and be with their families and don't like their time wasted by making sure other people's children are behaving properly in an office situation. I also don't think most working people would willingly give up their income and jobs and potential in order to qualify for fixed or low income lifestyle. So I don't think there is resentment on the side of SSA employees wishing they could be on the other side of the desk. Never met a person yet who liked the experience of going to the Social Security office.
Children can run around on playgrounds or at home. It is up to the caregiver to control them in an office. Not the office staff.
