Going to pub

NC for this one. My partner and I have a child who is 2. When he takes him out alone he just goes to the pub. Or goes on a pub day crawl. DH doesn’t get drunk but he does drink. Our child seems happy and he doesn’t neglect him and just hangs out with him in there but I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed that’s all he does with him when it’s just them two.

i take dc to the zoo, park, soft play etc and I bring him to cafes when I meet friends for coffee and the occasional pub lunch. I wanted to bring it up with my partner but I wanted to know if I’m being unreasonable here before I do.
Our child is happy, so maybe that’s okay? I guess my issue is that that’s all they do alone and there’s no balance apart from when I take him out, which to be honest if the majority of the time.

My BIL does that. When he picks his 5yo up from school he takes her to the pub where he has a pint and she has a fruit shoot. Again, she's not being neglected and doesn't seem unhappy but it's still a bit Confused

It depends how often. If it’s once a month, fine. I’m not sure it’s worth doing loads of ‘kids’ activities with a 2 yo.

I’m sorry but taking your two year old on a pub day crawl is awful in my opinion! How often does he do this though? There’s a difference between taking your child to the pub for some lunch etc every once in a while or taking them to the pub all day every week or more…
