Inappropriate Places To Bring Your Kids

Vermont

At least right now anyway. Too much mud and hate. Maybe if they wore earplugs?

This is what happens when legalization fails. Blame it on the governor.

Before I was a parent I was very anti kids at breweries.  Now I feel if they have gumball machines and things geared for kids it's fair game.

Most concerts I agree, though my daughters first concert was Mojo Nixon and I smuggled vodka in in Baby bottles (kids are great for smuggling).

I haven't taken my kids to a distillery, strip club, or dispensary though.

Actually went on the brewery tour at Busch Gardens when I was in 5th grade. Thought it was pretty cool. Course free samples at the end were adult only. 

Far as concerts, my 2 biggest concerns would be volume & ahem, air quality. Outdoors is probably best, but went to my first GD show at the Spectrum when I was just under 13 so maybe that's a bit hypocritical on my part. But I don't have kids either. 

Banks - Wall street Or Anywhere Near Donald Trump !

Red Eye flights if they're one of those prone to screaming on airplanes kids.

We did the Bush Gardens when my kids were little, and at the time it was the unlimited large glasses of beer, not the dixie cups they hand out now. After a couple of hours on moring kid rides for my children I started telling them, we're going to go ride the budweiser now, but only Dad can ride. Daddy whats the budweiser, we want to go on with you. No only dad can ride the Budweiser. I pouded down about three Amber Bocks and then took the kids back out to the rides again A couple hours later, I started the we're going to ride the budweiser again, and got the "awe thats no fun", and yes my wife was the designated driver.

We inadvertantly timed a trip to Islands of adventure during a beer fest. On that day I didn't drink but had the kids playing the game of who can find the drunkest person and we all enjoyed that

I see people with 6 year olds at protests at 10pm holding signs that say "Fuck Nazis".  That seems inappropriate.

Yeah, that "Fuck Nazis" one is a bit inappropriate, but the toddlers holding the anti-abortion signs, calling people murderers and saying they will burn in hell, is worse.

GGG Fest

Selfish parents that insist on "getting their groove on" at drug band shows are the worst. Strollers are the new puppy on a rope.

Robert Hunter shows

Just saw that an old acquaintance decided to bring his family and have photographs taken, with and 7&8 year olds at a Robert Hunter show at a night club by me. The tickets clearly say "adults only". No wonder, Robert Hunter isn't so eager to tour.  Was Barney the opener that night?

DNB shows at Ashkenaz? 

To work/ the office.

So true jr

MMA fights 

The club 

Father Murphy's apartment 

Boys night out 

Chuck E. Cheese

Teach kids to gamble, accept sub par food, and drink all the high fructose corn syrup products they can pound down till they puke.

Priceless...............

Cock fights

The hydro house

Philzone.org

Viva's probably safe though.

TXR 

"Before I was a parent I was very anti kids at breweries. "

lol.

5) Anywhere with a TV...

A double feature of  Fritz the Cat and Goodbye, Columbus.

Kids under 12 get in free!

The Bronx

((( Lot's )))

picking up a bag of weed

Bourbon Street.

Tijuana

Any place anyone is doing "the High".

Black Mass Rituals

You know I almost typed Tijuana but really it's good for children to experience different cultures and there are plenty of family fun oriented things to do there.

Puerto Rico is a fabulous kid friendly island. 

From infants on up, all kiddos were pretty much welcome anywhere when i visited, and treated with respect by patrons.

Also; the driving there is super fun!!!

Brunch

Artisanal pickle factories

Man-bun stylists

Brunch? Would have to disagree on that one. Brunch is open season.

I would add...

1. French Restaurants

2. The bleachers at Fenway during a weekend Yankees series

3. Your longstanding and well intentioned friend who invites you and your kids over for a BBQ at at home where he's been house sitting but when you arrive you find out he's forgotten to buy any food but has been ingesting sassafras and Johnnie Walker since the late morning and is cranking John Hiatt too loudly while attempting to weave a sermon about Jesus, Trey and the 1998 Phish Vegas run and your kids, even though they're young, are like what the hell is going in here and can we go.

into the world

>> into the world

Damnnnnn lmao. Too true.

>You know I almost typed Tijuana but really it's good for children to experience different cultures and there are plenty of family fun oriented things to do there.

No. Just no.

I made the mistake of taking our then  8 year old there. We were in San Diego to visit Legoland  and hit the beaches..our kid liked trains, so we hopped on board and headed to Mexico for the day, kid wanted to practice his Spanish and get an authentic Mexican meal. nothing in Tijuana is authentic, not even the Zebras ;)

 The taqueria reeked  of the previous night's frat parties, the stench of the vomit in the bathrooms still refresh, and the vendors tried to give us change in counterfeit bills that they obviously can pass off to the drunks. getting  in line to cross back over the border, there was a bloody fight and accusations of rape - custom officials dragged them all out of line, including the dense tourist who was recording it all.

Then getting grilled by the custom officials because our kid referred  to me as Nancy  instead of 'Mom' - they separated us until he explained that I really was his mother. And lectured him about showing his mother more respect. Lol.

he still has the $10 Mexican blanket he bought himself  and a good story to tell, so maybe it's not all bad.

They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.

I think it's good for my kids to see poverty and experience a place like TJ.  Were you hoping for a resort town when you went?  Also, I assume Dave has only been down there to visit a brothel and I wouldn't take my kids to one of those.  

There are plenty of museums, art galleries, and parks to visit.  There are good restaurants there too.

>>>>>Then getting grilled by the custom officials because our kid referred  to me as Nancy  instead of 'Mom'

lol

Coming back across the border is the only real drawback.  Thanks Osama Bin Laden.

>  Were you hoping for a resort town when you went?  

Not at all, we were staying at Paradise Point resort in San Diego, and ready for an adventure  -  I should have known that border towns are not a good representation of any country's culture.

The store fronts are all a facade and the guys working the large operations were literally dragging us in. No joke, but I was glad our kid had martial arts training, he was able to get out of their grips. he also was a coin collector and it was pretty funny when he spotted the fake one dollar bills. nothing wrong with some culture, but this wasn't real Mexican culture, but border town crap. 

Holding hands with your 3 year old waiting outside at the methadone clinic.

>>>>>but this wasn't real Mexican culture, but border town crap. 

That's a culture too

One could  argue that there's  some culture at the Methadone clinics too. I think there's some 'culture' that kids don't need to be exposed to. Your kids, your choice. I wouldn't visit Tijuana again, with or without kids in tow. other places in Mexico, sure - just not the border towns.

What is authentic Mexico? The city or the country? 

good for them. listen to some real music being played (minus the taped parts), they don't need no education.

My son fell asleep during last years DeadCo 2nd set. I would have fallen asleep during Roger Waters first song. 

that's good. on one hand, it wouldn't suck to be a "kid" these days. you have access to any period/style/genre of music that you want to see if it's your thang. on the other hand, it would suck to be a "kid" these days. your name could be shazad butt.

that's medicine,maaaaaaaaaan.

tears............so damn funny, but you see it happen

Disneyworld sells beer.

Slip em a mickey????

Parts of Vieux Carre.

Wrong on all accounts, Rockford.  I've never been to Tijuana, Mexico, a brothel, or solicited the services of a prostitute.  

As far as TJ, the closest, I ever got was Chula Vista, to see The Dead in 2004.  The closest I got to Mexico was about half a mile from the border crossing in El Paso in early 1996.  I was alone, and it seemed sketchy, so I decided not to cross over the bridge.

I've never had any interest or need to solicit a prostitute.
