    They need good role models like their parents who take them to a local brewery and shove an iPad in their face then ignore them while the parents drink craft beer.

      Don’t hate. Parents are people too and that’s their time. Kid time is the other 22 hours that day.

          Well good for you that you have no chores to do ever. How blessed you must be. What else should us dumb parents do better to manage our times so we can be as amazing as you?

            I get it, is hard, but taking your kids to a pub to watch ipad while you drink beer? Come on. There’s other things that is more suitable

              I wouldnt personally, I don’t drink, but ive taken them to restaurants and they just were bored no matter what. Sometimes the choice is leaving in the middle of dinner or give them something to keep their attention, especially when they are so young its hard to keep their attention with conversation.

              Yeah I wouldnt do it myself but I wouldnt judge anyone for it either.

              Well, maybe when my kids have kids, I’ll feel comfortable enough to judge them for it lol but otherwise, no.

      Parenting (and childhood) is intense and unrelenting. You can’t expect parents to be on stage continuously and continue to be patient and kind. You also can’t expect a 7 year old to be happy listening to their parents talk about work for 45 minutes. Taking breaks or responsibly drinking a beer is perfectly fine and isn’t going to negatively impact the child any more than allowing them to watch some age appropriate media for the time before they eat.

      Well, its that or they might end up with a family who holds freakish anti-social views like “Love is Love” and “Let kids play dress up, they’re not hurting anyone”.
