Babies in bars, like, wtf?

[babybear]

that is often air pressure fucking with their ears so they are in pain

exactly- i recognize it's more painful for them- so let's keep em separated

How the hell do you raise kids without drinking anyways?

I believe my advice in the raising kids thread is still apt, especially for infants. Hard liquor because you don't have enough time for beer.

[yeahman]

We took our kids on so many planes. They were pretty good. We had a couple meltdowns and one puking incident. These days I volunteer to sit next to somebody's crying kid, doesn't bother me a bit. I just sit there and rejoice in the fact that it's not my kid lol.

[babybear]

yea some friends kids do just fine, some are melter-downers
I get it and dont blame them. but I still think it would be a good idea just bc travel is so stressful in general to all parties
super nice of you to do that. I could see myself helping a sister out with seating too. kids love me and I love kids I can give back!

kids love me and I love kids I can give back!

when are you having kids?


(i came here to post about "baby bear in a bar", but that was a softball...)

[babybear]

haha- I kinda envy you guys - you did it early and now have a bonafide ski/ ride buddy. enjoy seeing your kid stoke!
now I feel like I'm too "get off my lawn" lol

[::: :::]

you did it early

33 is early?
i'll take it!

no pressure from me tho

[babybear]

33 is early?
i'll take it

haha ya guess it's relative. but still love your situation. here's the problem for me- I'm almost 40 yo so you think, "I'll do a one and done like most of my sane friends" but I know bc of Murphy's law we're gonna get like triplets

I’ve been happily married for 23 years, no kids. It can and does work.
You got this.

[tbssux]

That's when you sidle up next to them, then clumsily fumble with something in your pocket for cover while you "accidentally" drop your beer square on the squawker. Even if it's an $8 pint, that's money well spent.

Class act.

Is this not normal behavior in Europe anyway?
Please let this thread die after answering my question.

From what I saw, they don't treat their kids as adorable, intelligent pets there.

And in Europe there aren't a bunch of people with sidearms sticking out prime for a little jewel to snatch and start playing with.. It will happen sooner or later if it hasn't already.

Problem is, most kids aren’t adorable and intelligent as much as their parents think.

We have to keep telling ourselves they are inorder to keep from abandoning them

How the hell do you raise kids without drinking anyways?

Raising them in the bar is a damned fine way to start them on that path too.

My earliest memory of my dad is lying in my crib staring up and seeing his face bend down handing me a bottle and saying "how bout a cocktail?" Swear to God that's the absolute truth.. Might have even been absolute in the milk.. White Russians??

We preferred just unwinding at home as I can recall.

Baby's gotta drink

[Danno]

gotta start them early, after all

[hutash]

See, that's the problem...serve 'em beer, or better yet whiskey and they will sleep right through the flight.

Putting them in baggage as b-bear suggests works too.

At a brewery kids are ok. In an actual club or bar, no way.

[Timberridge]

Didn't someone here take their teenage boy to a strip club?

In college my friend hooked up with a stripper for a while and she had a year old kid. She used to drag that kid out on all their dates, and even to her "office." Hiring child care ain't cheap.

draughtworks missoula has a "kids corner" complete with chalkboard and the types of toys ones sees in the doctor's waitng room. i've never been harassed or annoyed by kids there

but i feel regardless of the venue if your kid is being loud, obnoxious, annoying or otherwise and you're doing nothing to stop it, yeah im bothered by that

[HD333]

I’m fine with kids in a taproom/brewery if the setting conducive to it.

It’s the parents I have the issue with. If your kid is acting up, and you can’t reel them in, finish your beer and GTFO.

benny is a good guy but being a dick in this thread and seems to have like minded dick friends

kids are a part of life. what many is this thread are calling a bar is a pub. children should be a part of pub life. end of story. only puritanical fuck head americans think otherwise

Sitting in a local brewery

Benny, good to see you're getting out once in a while and not just sitting at home with the cats.

[BCJC]

Yeah babies are always acting out in bars. It's embarrassing.
