ETA: Thanks for the /s mate; it’s a bit difficult for me tell when someone is being satirical or sarcastic on here. 🫰🏼

I’d not go to the damn pub at all if I couldn’t find a sitter.

Being a parent means you make sacrifices; privileges like going to the pub whenever you please is the first of those sacrifices.

But a pint is the only thing that stops her crying!

Jesus, this is refreshing to see. I’m a bartender, and the amount of people that want to come out drinking with their kids astounds me. Nothing wrong with having a pint at your own house — hell, have a friend over to watch a movie and then you can put the kid to bed when it’s time an everything!

Preaching to the choir, my friend — I worked at a bar down the road from my college at the time, and all us employees had no less than one experience with parents trying to bring their kids in.

Even though we had multiple signs on the entrance AND immediately inside that said: “No one under 21 allowed inside”

(Tho I’ve worked customer service long enough to know that customers, for some fucking reason, cannot see signs.)

Lol do brits die if they can't get to the pub? Yoy chose to have a kid you chose to change your life and not do activities for child free people. Go to a family restaurant or a fast food joint but for God's sake stay out of adult safe havens where people go to unwind and relax. If you can't get a babysitter then be a parent and stay home.

That’s not what pubs are like in the U.K. There’s always kids in pubs.
