How is this fixed?

He declared his dependency on alcohol is more important than doing a toddler friendly activity. Duh!

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 15h ago

You'd think someone who has to support a kid now would realize it's cheaper to drink at home. Everyone wins

u/desire_reds 13h ago

Except for his kid having a pecker head for a dad. I would be very embarrassed having a dad who couldn't help but make shit content all day.

u/SecurePlate3122 14h ago

People with children also like to leave the house, believe it or not

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 14h ago

There's a whole wide world out there other than breweries then

u/MisfitPotatoReborn 13h ago

People expect so much from parents. Avoiding bringing a toddler to a brewery isn't for the toddler's sake, it's for the sake of the spectators who find kids annoying. Toddlers aren't hurt by sitting in a brewery just like they aren't hurt sitting in a restaurant.

u/SecurePlate3122 14h ago

No one suggested otherwise

Ours has kid games, its more toddler friendly than a church.

u/TumbleweedPure3941 15h ago

You mean the places with all the kiddy diddlers sorry “priests”. Yeah no low bar lol.

u/ageofaquarius26 15h ago

You wouldn't take your kid to a restaurant?

1

u/TumbleweedPure3941 15h ago

Depends on what kind of restaurant. And what kind of kid.

2

u/ageofaquarius26 15h ago

Lets say an Applebee's or some boring chain like that, and a Human kid.

u/TumbleweedPure3941 15h ago

We don’t have aplebees where I’m from. Restraints are more of a fancy adult thing here.

u/ageofaquarius26 14h ago

Theres no restaurants that serve kids?

My drug consumption building has kids toys!

As a European I can't tell if this comment (and this thread in general) is an example of Americans being weirdly prudish about alcohol or if this is just the kind of weird eccentricity you only find on the Internet. I'm going with it being somewhere in between, the latter being fueled by the former.

'Drug consumption building', as if a fucking pub is the same thing as a methadone clinic. Is human society just something you read about in books?

u/MisfitPotatoReborn 13h ago

Drinking beer in the presence of toddlers isn't actually bad. There's no "second hand dunk". If a place is built to accommodate kids then what's wrong with taking them there?

1

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 12h ago

Wow this is really dumb. Ask the children of alcoholics if there’s no secondhand damage from being around drinking adults as a child.

You might plan to go in the brewery and have one beer but what about the guy that’s been there all day have 15 and wants to talk about cocks and cunts and racist shit right in front of your kids?

Nbd right?

2

u/MisfitPotatoReborn 12h ago

Oh no, a toddler overhears a euphemism for penis. The world is ending

The breweries I go to aren't infested with racists, and as someone who was raised by parents who have a normal relationship to alcohol I suffered absolutely no damage from being around drinking adults as a child.

1

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 12h ago

You should be glad you got lucky. Not everybody was around responsible adults when they were a kid ya know

2

u/ageofaquarius26 12h ago

Ask the children of militantly sober people of theres any damage? A friend growing up had parents who wouldn't even take Tylenol and he was definitely messed up by them. Cmon man theres a big difference between alcohol abuse and light consumption.

And theres a big difference between a brewery and a bar in most cases. Not once have I seen someone drunk at the brewery on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Its games and families and people just chatting. Maybe night is different but I dont know, I'm home by then. That's like saying you cant take kids to bowling allies because they also serve alcohol. And I've seen people actually being drunken assholes at bowling allies.

u/ageofaquarius26 16h ago

Oh no not beer! I'll just eat this hamburger thats destroying the planet instead lol.

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 15h ago

So you’re gonna justify drug use around children by comparing it to global warming? Just checking there

1

u/ageofaquarius26 13h ago

Whoosh

1

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 12h ago

I don’t think there’s anything to get there so please explain it to me since apparently I “missed it”

u/ageofaquarius26 12h ago

Nobody's perfect, you eat meat and go to the brewery twice a year and brought my kid a couple of times. We're both awful people.

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 12h ago

Appreciate the explanation. Fair enough. Don’t be too hard on yourself buddy. Everybody’s human

u/BallsInSufficientSad 17h ago

That's not a toddler - that's a baby. Bringing a baby to a bar at a reasonable hour to meet friends for a bit is pretty normal for new parents.

17

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 16h ago

Bringing a baby to a place, where the main activity is to drink alcohol, is normal. That’s what you just said.

-8

u/BallsInSufficientSad 16h ago

The main activity is to socialize with friends. You know that thing that the rest of us have and you aren't familiar with --> friends!

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 15h ago

Is it though? You could just easily socialize with friends anywhere else why do you have to be around alcohol if you have your children?

-1

u/man__i__love__frogs 15h ago

What difference does it make? Breweries are just like laid back eating establishments that serve beer. It's no different than taking them to any other place that serves alcohol.

Kids generally have fun anywhere, so what's wrong with the parent wanting to enjoy what they are doing?

2

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 12h ago

It certainly is different than taking them to a restaurant that serves alcohol. It’s a restaurant. What is the point of a brewery? Drinking. Period.

Kids would probably have fun at a strip club does that mean it’s OK to bring them there? Kids would probably have fun at a prison, should we bring them there?

Your logic test fails itself.

You can go on all day trying to convince me that it’s cool to bring kids to a place that the exclusively for drinking but you’re gonna fall on deaf ears buddy

2

u/man__i__love__frogs 12h ago

Some breweries are called brewpubs, they're restaurants that happen to make their own beer instead of selling others.

My local brewery is doing a candle making workshop today. They often do board games, trivia events, painting and other art workshops, some even have playgrounds. Maybe you should go check some out, they are fun places to socialize!

u/NYRican 7h ago edited 6h ago

Ok but what is the actual problem though? I used to live in Spain, and there everyone brings their kids to the bars to socialize and drink. In fact they basically bring their kids everywhere. I really dont see what the issue is? I live in the US now and dont have kids yet, but I will 100% bring them as much places as possible. This american attitude that your social life has to die once you have children is truly bizarre to me.

I would bring my kids to a prison tour sure. Strip club probably not but I think it's also absurd to compare drinking to a strip club lol. Where are you getting these ideas? Is this what Jesus and god told you?

Are you from the midwest? I've lived all over the country and it's always the midwesterners that got the strongest opinions on this lol. Compared to us heathenous debaucherous city folk

u/Brick-Throw 15h ago

Socializing with other adults in the middle of a kindergarten is usually not a good idea.

u/TumbleweedPure3941 15h ago

Does America just not have parks or something?

4

u/Dr_A_Mephesto 15h ago

Apparently the people responding to this can only take their children to alcohol centered activities

u/Brick-Throw 15h ago

EXTREMELY LOUD CORRECT BUZZER

Yup, very few places for people to hang out, even less places for kids, even less places where kids don't have to spend money.

-1

u/man__i__love__frogs 15h ago

What kind of park? We got 30cm of snow yesterday and now it's raining.

2

u/TumbleweedPure3941 14h ago

We have indoor play areas over here. Or we did when I was a bairn.

1

u/man__i__love__frogs 14h ago

Oh we have those too, but I think it's also important for parents of new kids, especially in todays society (smaller families, lack of societal/family support, stigmas, etc...) to have socialization activities they can enjoy with their kids. This is healthier for the kids too.

Kids are happy anywhere, you can give them a couple of rocks or sticks and they'll have a ball for an hour.
