DU parents: Do you bring your children to bars? |
|
If you do, what time do you go home? Do you ever make your kid drive?

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.

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.

Unless my kitchen has been reclassified as a bar.
