Today's parents have a problem I and my parents didn't have..
Baby Sitters that charge 15 USD an hour with 10 Hr minimum. It outrageous what they get. I swear they have a union..
I also do not condone kids in bars..
BUT,, I, like a lot of the older gen, was taken to many places.. No matter what the local, if I didn't behave to the standard,, I got my butt warmed..
I guess one could rationalize somewhat. The fact that SOME bars have a family style. Some don't.
When I was a kid, ALL bars had one goal,, to drink & get drunk. It wasn't until I started drinking in the 60t's that the notion of "getting lucky" was added.
Todays trendy culinary bistros do make available alcoholic libations, while facilitating social intercourse and platonic relationships between consenting individuals. Taking the kids will limit one and enhance the other
One reason I stay home....
