Children at adult functions

Yep, I feel ya. Believe this or not I went to a fun party more than once where people brought kids, lol. Now I don't if everybody knows what a "fun party" is but anyway.... The parents had to be asked to take the children somewhere else or they'd put them in a room to watch a movie and hoped they wouldn't be coming out.

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

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

Well of coarse in that case. I mean like if a child gets ahold of an alcoholic drink or gets hurt some kind of way? And this is if a parent was told that it was an adult thing but they brought kids anyway. Now you got parents who will watch their kids. Then you got some who forgot they brought them, LOLOL.

I hate it when someone brings their small kid to a scary movie during the peak hours of the day, first off I don’t think they should bring their kids to a “R” rated horror movie but during the peak hours of the day is just rude to the other movie watchers.

I know what you mean.....

It's been interesting. I'll be back later.......

I'm out!!

Right...

So anyways it's the parents responsibility to take care of the child, if they fail to do that then they suck as parents. Whether they would take them to a party or not would probably not make that much of a difference because they suck anyway.

So if the parents think they can take care of the child at a party then bring the damned child and just ignore all the other guests who ****ing hate children.

Actually come to think of it, there should be a law against taking children to party's, children suck.

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.

Listening to inappropriate music? What kind of music is inappropriate? You're quite blatantly a far right jeb.

Ok maybe music with suggestive language, cursing, etc. would not be inappropriate music for some. It's almost funny to me that some people would think that things for adults would be ok for children. I know what I would agree with someone else may nothing wrong with. But there are "some" things that children just shouldn't attend. While it is my oppinion that children shouldn't be in situations where alcohol is involved and there are mainly adults it's just my oppinion.

And when they bring their kids and the parent gets drunk, then that leaves other people having to watch out for this child or children.

Right, thanks for your 'oppinion'. Please tell me, what exactly is wrong with children being in an environment where there are adults drinking? They're not drinking the alcohol, their parents are, does this mean parents shouldn't drink at home when their children are in the same house?

If a person drinks at home with there kids there, that's their business. But when you bring them out to an environment where most everyone will be drinking and they know they will be drinking to, how can you be a responsible parent? You're ability to be a responsible parent is impaired.

Let me ask this..... Why would you want to bring your kids in an environment where there's drinking? There are so many other "kid friendly" functions to take them.

I've been to parties where it was ok to bring my daughter who is 7, there was no drinking. But I have also been to parties where it wouldn't be right to bring her. There's nothing wrong with drinking far as I'm concerned but if you know you're gonna be drinking and they'll be a lot of drinking going on ya just wouldn't want them there.

Who says you can't still be a responsible parent when you've had a couple of drinks? If you shelter children from everything that can be negative, sometimes, they're going to need a lot of sheltering. Fine, if it's a proper party with people throwing up n all that, but not if it's just say a barbecue, that's bloody ridiculous. If children do not see that adults can and do behave responsibly after drinking alcohol, they either won't attend similar parties in later life, or, go the other way and feel they need to act irresponsibly when drinking. But then you think music should be kept from children as well.

This day and time you can't keep anything from children, lol. I just don't believe in introducing it to them myself as a mother. I don't let my daughter listen to vulgar rap. But I know she could hear it at someone elses house, or someplace else. I may have had a glass of wine with her around but nothing more. I'm always afraid I'll have to much and something will happen and I'll be to impaired to make the right decisions.
Now I also have a 16 and 17 year old (but I've been told I don't look old enough to have kids that old, lol , just thought I'd add that) that I know listen to that music when they're not in the house. They know I hate it and won't play it in the house. But I'm not going to let them listen to "crap" around me.

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

B.) Sometimes it's not possible to get someone to watch over those kids so they HAVE to bring them to the function, they have no choice.

These days I don't think parents really care abot where they drag there kids.I would if I was a parent.It may be life but do we really want our children dispose of stuff that goes on that is something we can control?
I know I would not .jm 🙂

Well a couple things about what you said.
A.) If they're 2 and 3, yes it's irresponsible for a parent/guardian not to be in sight BUT since they are so young, being at an adult function will mean no difference to them, they want toys. If it's a drug filled environment or dangerous or something, that's different.

B.) Sometimes it's not possible to get someone to watch over those kids so they HAVE to bring them to the function, they have no choice.

I guess everybody has there own idea of what's good and not good for kids.....

Maybe if a babysitter couldn't be found, it'd be a good idea to go to a movie or Chucky Cheese or something..... 😮 .

I agree...

It depends on the function and the maturity level of the child. The parent knows best (in most situations).

The function of the child?
