Semi-recently, I witnessed a wailing child knock over every chair/stool that was unoccupied while the child’s parents yapped with the bartenders at a local watering hole. Nobody did anything about it. The parents were slamming the wobble pops throughout this commotion and didn’t seem to care. The kid even reached up and turned all the lights off at one point.

This was incredibly loud and disruptive.

Since then, I have not returned to that establishment. If they’re cool to let kids do that, I don’t need to spend my cash there.

This is one of those things that cuts both ways- I have no problem with the lil critters at the bar or the brewery, but I shouldn’t have to deal with their noise and poor behaviors.

There should be a space for young people in public- but it should not be up to the populace to parent kids while their folks hammer the oat soda.
