“I cringe when I see people out in public late with toddlers and small children.”
I’m not gonna judge. Having raised 4, I know of times that the school has had activities that kept the kids out late, such as a band concert. If the whole family attends and didn’t have supper first, this exact situation can and has happened to us. Maybe they were at a Christmas event. Who knows?
Guess I’m just old-fashioned that way. Guilty.
By the way, I’m mostly referring to adults taking small children with them to LATE showings of movies and other adult recreational events. And some of these movies are not child-appropriate, not by a long shot.

I don’t have kids but I have a passel of great nieces all in elementary school (6 of them ages 10 and 9 and 7). While my niece and her husband and my nephew and his wife try to get them to bed by 8:00PM sometimes afterschool activities interfere with this, GSA meetings, dance classes, after school concerts, oh and I’ve been to plenty of those…I don’t see where this is harmful as long as it is not an every night thing. They could have a 9:00 fast food meal and still get the little skulls full of mush in bed by 9:30 or 10:00. : ),
