I’m curious to see which side of this debate Freepers come down on.
The brew-pubs near me mostly encourage families with kids to come. Then again, folks in my neighborhood take responsibility for their children and behave themselves.
On the other hand, I could imagine brew-pubs in some parts of town attracting trashy elements.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution here.
My observation is that more than a few parents today really don’t give a crap how disruptive their little brats are in public. Whether it’s a restaurant, brewery, or church, they let them run wild, scream like banshees and have absolutely no consideration for anyone else.
It’s becoming rare to see parents actually controlling their kids in public.
When our daughter was a baby and used a high chair, when we went to a restaurant we carried a newspaper with us and spread it on the floor under the high chair. At the end of the meal we rolled up the newspaper so that no one had to clean anything off the floor.
Their business, their rules. People can vote with their money.
I’m all against the bad parents, who are rampant in the US.
