baby in the pub

..to think it's ok that my friend and I took our year old babies to the pub tonight at 6pm? Hardly anyone there, we had a pint of cider, karaoke started much later at 9. Babies were fine.

Then her dp storms in, snatches baby, says it's disgusting to have a baby in the pub at 7.15 (the time he came in) ignores me, my friend looks scared and no doubt they will have another massive bloody row tonight (he has said he is moving out on saturday but will come back and 'stay over some nights' for the baby.

I think that is unfair and she needs to set boundaries. She is miserable with him and he with her. But to shout at us and storm into the pub in front of the people in there, (not many but he knows them all) I think is shite.

Now don't know whether to ring her and make sure she is not pulp.

We were just having a christmas eve drink...the babies weren't distressed, they were wrapped up and had drinks and rice cakes. Is that so fucking bad?

me - i said the holiday thing

yates is nice, and would and have taken children there for lunch, but the 2 near me after 8ish are quite rowdy and packed so def not suitabable for kids then imo

kids in pubs at lunchtime is very different from evening

I used to get chained to the railings outside the pub with a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps when I was a small child. I am guessing the kids were having a good time and so was mum so don't see the harm at all.

I have fond memories of drinking dandelion and burdock through a straw and having a pack of cheese and onion crisps in a freezing beer garden while my parents sat in the warm pub having a pint.
