I wonder how many parents think this

[Exterous]

During conversation with a person I know it came up that she was going to a gathering of adults who she had never met before. Her husband asked if they should get a baby sitter and she responded "No - everyone always loves (insert child's name) so it won't be a problem."

It struck me as a bit presumptuous that at a non-kid related gathering, hosted by someone else involving people you had never met before that you would assume that everyone would automatically love your child. And while I don't know for sure I remain skeptical from the conversation that bringing your child would be an expected occurance

 

[shabby]

Don't worry, she won't be invited next time.

Not me. I hate kids and I don't subject my kid, the moon setter, upon others. When he was small, I left several restaurants because he thought it was time to cry. "Pinch his GD head off....Please."


Side note, the wife insisted that we take the infant to some romantic something movie instead of leaving him with the in laws. 5 min before the end, he wouldn't stop crying.

Who took him out and missed the end of the flic? Not me. I refused because of ...reasons...and she still says that's the maddest that she's been at me.

I'm no sociologist, but I believe the answer is too many. She might be right though, someone has to be on the right side of the bell curve and it may as well be her kid.

A ton of parents thing that way. A ton of parents also think you can go fuck yourself if you don't like their kid. Parents being douches was one of the big reasons my wife and I didn't want kids for a long time.

My daughter went with me, and people knew that. Don't want her? Don't ask me to come. Everyone seemed to like her though, and she never complained.

I have a very close friend who lost his only child at age of 14. My son is 14 now and I find myself asking him if he minds if my son joins me on some of the things we do together... your question seems quite trivial frankly.

 

[Exterous]

My daughter went with me, and people knew that.

Since they knew your child would be coming that seems better than showing up unexpectedly with a 4 year old under the premise that even strangers will love your child

Her attitude is why we have a bunch of snowflakes in the under 30 crowd.

If you were my secret santa, I'd buy you divorce lawyer gift card. Sooner or later, you're going to need it.

 

[soulcougher73]

Yeah if its specified its an adult party. you dont bring a god damn kid. Bitch is dumb and should probably be sterilized.

Jesus. Who gets to have kids in your world?

 

[shortylickens]

LOTS of parents think that.
Tons of parents also think Deadpool is appropriate for toddlers.

Not dumb ones that don't understand what adult party means. Don't need dumb breeders.

ah, so you're a "one mistake to castration" folk. glad you're not in charge.

 

[vi edit]

If it's openly discussed that it's a "family" event, sure. Bring the kids. If you know you'll be the only person there with kids, either don't go or find a sitter. As a parent, it sucks being *that person* who's the only one one there with a couple kids either clinging to you or getting into everything. Or one clinging and one getting into everything.

Shitty parents continue to be shitty parents.

Can you explain the correlation?

This isn't a mistake, this is retardation lol who doesn't know what "adult party" means

I get annoyed that they get angry when they are wrong and you are right. I do not understand that. Also, it pisses me off when they don't like to be corrected. I am sharing the correct information, they should be grateful!

That also applies to women.

 

[thestrangebrew1]

Yea as a parent I'd never do something like this. As far as I know, everyone loves my daughter, but I'd never bring her to an adult gathering with no other kids and think it'd be fine. Babysitter or no-go for me.

Yeah, depends on how uptight people are at the event. Just throw the kids in the backroom with some video games for the night, problem solved!

Judgmental much? I think you should find real things to occupy your mind.

You are super hipster.
