Children in bars

those fuckin carts

I believe the children are our future. Drink and pint and let them lead the way. Show them all the vomit you possess inside.

Are parents asking him if he isn't delighted? I never encounter this anywhere ever. No one solicits reactions from me about their kids.

less irl than online in threads like this one

irl parents tend to be obnoxious in other ways, mostly by acting as though no one outside their horrible insular nuclear family unit even exists

Woman walks into the bar with her stroller in front of her, crashes into the barstool in front of me. Get a sidewalk

Oh damn dude are you ok?!?!?

you should have punched her and stolen the baby

I got a baby in a bar right now. Watch out.

Should have said "hey! Watch it!" And put the barstool in your own stroller and left.

It's funny that you guys think this is comical

You're right. I think you should do something about it.

Douchy parents decide to have brunch with their one year old and take over half the place with their accessories. On the way out, the pen they have to dad to sign the check is out of ink. Then he drops a bag full of toys all over the floor. At least he has the courtesy and dignity to look shamed while picking the stuff up.

parents are the worst

the new excelsior thread

children behind bars c/d

i feel the same way abt this as i do smoking in bars. some bars have smoking. if u are down with that go to those bars. if u are down with kids in bars go to those bars. hopefully there is no overlap.

but i mean for real the subset of bars that most parents would take their kids into is surely very small, leaving a wide range of non-kid-friendly bars available for the child-averse and/or registered sex offenders.

surely

is that a gun in his hand? im only after noticing that now, wtf?

Lookit this noob, never been to a hard ass baby bar before

How about drunks in parks with kids? I feel like Tay Zonday trying to breathe away from every other parent I run into out here.

You know, we often would take our kid / kids to restaurants, and you'd see other people go 'oh god its a baby' or whatever age she/they were but they never created or carried on, nd you'd see those same people visibly relax.

Yeah, we were lucky.

Only time I can remember was when Alice was given her kiddy pizza, a flat round marguerita , took one look at our rectangular adult veggie one and spoke in her full voice "I WANT THAT ONE' to which I replied "I don't blame you"

Anyway, what was the question?

Signing the check! That is quaint.

Like I mentioned upthread: been taking kids to bars since they were newborn. No problems. It's the parents who sometimes misbehave. The ones who do, of course, don't usually take their kids to bars...because they don't usually drink.

You are fucking kidding me here right?

I haven't read the thread for a while but if you are serious about this complaint I just what

Oh wait just read the thread, you are a maniac

The dignity of being ashamed

Get this 9 year old out of here

He's dancing in the middle of the place to "Take on Me"
about to homicide my face

it's less bars than pubs here, which have outdoor beer gardens for the smokers... I feel bad (don't object, but am bothered) by the fact this ONE spot I can still go to drink and smoke cigs, has kids present. and you get glares from the parents for the smoking. come on! we're a dying (lol) breed. give us something.

It's pretty easy with Ivy. She's 4.5 months old so she just hangs out in the carrier strapped to one of us while we drinky drink drink (usually sleeping). We go during off hours though, usually a Sunday afternoon to a place we know won't be crowded or annoying.

More difficult at 20 months, for sure. All she wants to do is walk around and go say hello to other people or try and tend bar. We still limit her bar time to non-peak hours, and usually we can only get an hour's worth of drinking in before she's had enough. Pretty soon to get our drinking in, I think we'll have to break out the distracto-iPad.

"i'm guessing you don't have elderly people in your life" is def one of the most annoying things people w/ elders in their life say, esp in that superior tone it usually comes in

damn right i don't and there's a reason for that. i don't like old people or being around them. i'm not going to be overtly displeased with old people in bars (well, elder-friendly bars, some bars would be just wrong) but i reserve the right to prefer elderly people elsewhere and bitch about it privately afterwards. i don't think "enjoying the company of strangers' elders" should be a general expectation. i don't like the company of obnoxious adults either and pick the places i socialise to avoid them where possible and basically 90% of old people have the same effect.

old people that i actually know are slightly easier to tolerate, i guess.

lmao bad posts itt

i don't like 90% of other kids, or 90% of other parents, whether in bars or otherwise. actually i just don't like most people :(

some of you people sound like awful bar company

Jesus. It's 9 o'clock. This is bullshit. Get your kid out of here. Fucking foosball.

Thank god, they're leaving.

Oh they're just sending in a replacement.

bars are for killing oneself with toxins, swearing, or trying to copulate. children must never be allowed in them at any point - bars in which children are allowed cease to be bars and therefore people who like bars can avoid them.

What if the children also want to kill themselves with toxins, swear and copulate?

they can wait til they get a fake id like everyone else had to

time was you could kick a child into the street

if children can be put behind bars, children ought to be allowed in bars

HERE HERE!

I mean. . . shit.

It's past your bedtime

I could say that about a lot of people I see in bars.

"Daddy got in trouble. Family time is over. Let's go home"

Lol 6pm bedtime
