DU parents: Do you bring your children to bars?

[AngryAmish]

If you do, what time do you go home? Do you ever make your kid drive?

1. Hmmmm Popcorn anyone???

2. I hate those people

sorry folks, your child has no business being in a bar. I can accept kids in restaurants and even pubs, but if the food menu is purely for decor or to serve a perfunctory purpose, you deserve to have your kids taken away for taking them to the bar.

Given, this is how I learned to drive a stick-shift at age seven.

Child of two alcoholics...serious pet peeve.

3. I spent a lot of time in bars as a kid

My dad worked a lot so when he had some free time he wanted to get a few beers and watch the game. I loved it. I couldn't get pop or potato chips at home.

7. Those are the same memories I have!

:). I used to love Cherry Soda at the bar in the little glass. I felt on top of the world. I miss the old Milwaukee bars. I really do. :hi:

10. It depends on the bar and the family.

It's one thing when it's a neighborhood bar during the day or early evening and there are many kids eating chips and drinking milk or soda while the adults socialize. It's yet another when an alcoholic is dragging a kid into the bars rather than hiring a sitter. I've seen both and I agree with you that in the latter case the kids deserve better.

4. nope...

thought never occured to me so your post makes my eyebrows squinch a bit.

Is this a sequel to some other thread?

5. My Father used to take me to bars all the time.

To visit my Grandpa, who was a bartender. I somehow survived.

MrG's daddy used to make him drive all the time when he was young. :hi:

9. You're MY kind of parent!

LOL.

As I kid, my parents sometimes liked to visit bars and haul me with them. I have good memories of those times.

11. You do know I'm kidding, right?

Unless my kitchen has been reclassified as a bar.

12. Yes, I knew you were kidding.

It was a great response, though. :)
