To think if you invite a friend out for a Sunday afternoon drink

[theredhen]

that they shouldn't just assume they can bring their 14 year old daughter along to sit with us?

Normally we meet for a coffee in Sunday mornings at her house or mine. I thought going out for a glass of wine would make a nice change.

The pub is 5 mins walk from her house. So no issues with being miles away or anything.

He daughter is a lovely girl but to be honest I struggle to understand why she would want to come to the pub and sit with two old farts.

But if you've arranged to meet in a pub surely you'd assume your friend would come without their child?

Sunday afternoon isn't necessarily "family time", especially if one or both parents work shifts or, as in my case, one works the usual M-F, 9-5 and the other works evenings and/or w/e to do away with childcare costs.

I frequently escape the Inferiority Complex on a Sunday afternoon precisely because it is family time. Or more precisely because it's my time off too.
