#IMO I don’t think adults should be barred from most bars due to the presence of their offspring (UNDER SUPERVISION BEHAVING WELL).
Parenting is hard. Mastery of substance abuse is foundational to your success.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a caveat, there are some places kids just don’t belong. You know the places I mean. There are also some simple courtesies that must be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take responsibility. And take your screaming babies outside while I’m eating, or especially if there is live music. It’s just rude. Overall, control your fucking kids. They should behave like human beings, not crazed pack animals…and keep them away from the booze. They are YOUR responsibility, and the bar is within their rights to kick you and your unholy brood to the curb if anyone gets drunk or stupid, so DON’T. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you don’t have kids, don’t be a dick to people who bring their beloved block chips to the bar. Treat the little fuckers like they deserve to be there until they don’t. At least treat their parents like the thirsty fools they are, and cut ’em some slack for taking the hard road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parenting is hard. Alcohol and herbs make it softer and easier to swallow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie’s thoughts are his own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
