We have our interview scheduled for November yay!

 

We have two small children which have the same destructive energy as three mile island;, one in the height of the terrible twos and our 4 year old.  I can leave them with my parents for the interview, but I don't know if I should bring them since they are part of our evidence as well.  What would you recommend?

 

The interview is in San Antonio, TX and their site says nothing specific about children.

Consider this equivalent to a job interview. Would you bring your children to a job interview?

 

Now, if you had absolutely no alternative other than to bring them then it probably wouldn't be a massive issue, but since you do then you should take advantage of it.

AOS interview last week. We took our daughter, she is 5 months old. As soon as we enter the room the official said "ohh  children I hope she don't start crying" Then in the middle of the interview she started crying. As soon as she started crying the official ask me to go to the waiting room with her. He said at this point of the interview I did not needed to be there anymore. We took her as we don't have an option of a babysitter or family. I will recommend not to take them if you have the option. :)
