Children at adult functions

I went to a cookout recently where there was drinking and some things going on inappropriate for kids. I actually saw small children (two and three years old) running around without a parent in site.

How do you feel about children attending adult functions? And how would you handle it?

As long as the children can handle the nudity and drunken debauchery, I'm down with it.

Did the children drink?

im not sure that a cookout is exactly an adult function. Children hear worse form their classmates at school. On second though, i think the government should install camera's in everyones homes just to make sure that Parents are not having an "adult function".

I'm usually too drunk at parties to watch my kids so I sympathize with the parents.

I am fine with it.

Well I'd hope not....but while the parents are drinking children are running around getting into who knows what, listening to inappropriate music and seeing bad behaviors. You got things just for kids, things for kids and adults. When it comes to drinking you know how irresponsible people can get. I know it's the responsibility of the person giving the party or whatever to tell people they'll be drinking and kids won't be there.

You make it sound like children watching adults drink will have a negative effect on them. Also, wtf is this about "parents are drinking children"????

Could be worse:

I'd say maybe not an "adult" function if there's no drinking going on. Maybe it's just me but when theirs drinking people seem to pay less attention to kids. You have people driving in and out (and everybody doesn't have a desinated driver). People doing things that maybe kids shouldn't watch. When it comes to drinking "some people" lose their inhabitions and do whatever.

Zahria, seriously, are you the morality police? Most people can't even take care of themselves much less then the offspring satan allowed them to spawn.

I guess what i'm saying is some things you can take children to and somethings you may not want to.

I know there are some people who drink and actually smoke dope with their children so they wouldn't mind taking them....

Then there are some who don't drink around their kids and don't want them around people that do.

I was just getting some oppinions on what some of yall thought?

Keep your freeken eye on your kids, or at least have other be aware of looking out for them. At most of the funtions I've been to it's an unspoken agreement that everyone looks out for everyones kids.

That would be different if there were someone just to watch kids. LOL, I wouldn't want to do it.
My things was we were in a very open yard with a lot of people, maybe 100 or so. There were a few small kids running around not being supervised. One almost drank from an open can of beer someone had sat down, one was almost run over by a someone who obviously started drinking before they got there. These were not big kids either. Like I said they were two and three years old. One of the kids grandfathers was found past out drunk under a tree. Why he brought the child nobody knows.

Shelter the young from sin. It will guide you in the way.

You have to realize it is "inappropriate" to you. The parents apparently don't think so. And they are the ones to judge.

That's true. I can agree with that but it's also dangerous. Kids could be hurt or anything. There was even a situation at a party that I didn't attend where a 13 year old was molested. The parents are the ones to judge but then when something happens. Who is at fault. The person giving the party, etc or the parent???

I-i would figure the person that molested the child.

But that's me, you know...getting it with logic.
