If the ladies do go to shul, PLEASE either hire a babysitter to stay home with your kids, or avail yourselves of the shul sitter service, if any. My shul provides free babysitting, but many thoughtless people come into the ezras noshim with their children (who do NOT have a paid for seat), and proceed to disturb the kavana of everyone around them. I don’t like this on a regular Shabbos or yom tov, but on the Yomim Noraim, it not only takes me out of the frame of mind that I should be davening in, but creates a neagtive feeling in me towards the inconsiderate person who is doing this, especially when the rule is, no young children are allowed in the main shul during the Y”N.
