This is also all true.
And most places to eat out, even bars and breweries and a different, it's fine, IF you take the kid out and leave if they get fussy.

After seeing some kids 1st birthday party at a brewery I say no kids there. After having a nice relaxing afternoon shattered after two kids fought over who got to throw the next bean bag, I say no kids. When I kids at home and I wanted to go out, I either got a baby sitter or I didn't go. Suck it up it up already. Get the baby sitter. $40 aint going to kill ya.
After seeing a dog w/loose stool drag his butt across the floor to "clean" it up, I didn't need to see another dog in a brewery ever again. Keep Fido home, or get the cans to do. Not everyone likes your fur baby. They are kinda like your FFL team. Don't kid yourself, no one cares about it or them, Leave them home, they'll be there when you get back.

At least the dog was courteous enough to clean up his own mess. Can’t say the same thing about little 2 year old Timmy who just puked up his dinosaur chicken nuggies.

It's $25/hour (AT LEAST, with two or more kids) and for date night most want a minimum of 4 hours in Dallas. And Dallas is not an expensive place for this stuff.at $40 being the cost of the babysitter for an evening or day out. It's three-figures easily now - at least in my area.
It should only take a couple hours to hit a local brewery/restaurant. If you’re paying $50 an hour, I’m happy to send along my credentials!
Good luck finding a cheaper (e.g., High schooler, middle schooler) babysitter available saturday afternoon midday either.

It's about $20-$25 per hour and like Instinctive said, rarely is that for just a couple of hours. My wife and I don't get many chances so we like to take advantage. A night or day or is usually lunch plus golf or dinner then some function or hitting up a wine bar or brewery. So, yeah, 4 hrs. or more each time easily.

And, yeah, if we want six hour in the middle of the day Saturday we are trying to find somebody weeks out and we pay those sitters well so they want to keep doing it.

This seems snarky. My suggestion was a real one. We had one for a time with our social group and it saved a lot of money in babysitting fees. Friends would drop their kids off at our house when they went out and they would reciprocate when we did the same. It didn’t always work out, but it did enough to make it completely worthwhile.
This works great if you have three or four close families whose kids are similar aged and get along. We had that happen when I was growing up and we hung out as kids with our friends and parents go to go do their thing.

There was a time we had a 3 year old and twin newborns. We didn't go anywhere, for like......5 years. Forget a babysitter, by age 2 our twins were locking me out of the house and climbing up on our fireplace mantle.

Yeah, the bolded is an issue. I guess tackle it like the designated driver, except it’s the designated babysitter. Each couple misses out once per rotation.

Seriously: kids (and pets) come with responsibilities. Can’t always act like you are single or kidless. Shrugs.
Another horror story. Was out later in the evening with the wife. Enjoying the empty-nest. Saw one of my daughters’ dance teacher out at same brewery. At 10:30pm. Holding an infant. The kid was maybe 1year. It was stupid loud and stupid packed with drunk peeps. Leave the kid at home, it was way too loud for that kid. Some local band was playing, hard to even talk. Poor kid is going to get tinnitus/hearing loss before it even knows what headphones are.

No. I’m not. More that people in the thread are acting like floors in general are somehow clean, when they are not. And bringing a dog doesn’t generally change that.
It’s once again bad owners who are either bringing a sick dog out or bringing an untrained dog out.

We have done something like this or, thinking back, the common maneuver was to have like ten kids pooled together, pay two babysitters, then split the cost.Will have to try it once the kids are a little more self sufficient.

But, frankly, we pay the expense for a babysitter so that my wife and I have alone time together where we aren't just exhausted after putting the kids together. That wouldn't really work for a co-op. I think my wife and one of her friends have maybe 1-2 times taken turns watching the others' kids.
Also, our 4 kids (2 have pretty tough behavioral health issues and the other two aren't exactly angels either) are a handful so we usually stick to paying the one reliable sitter.

Ok, just so I am clear... Dont want to put words in your mouth...
But you mostly just want people that dont want dogs in restaurants to understand that people should be able to bring dogs in and lay on the floor because the floor is already really dirty?
Scoresman
Footballguy
I’m really just disagreeing with this notion that dogs are these horribly dirty animals that spread disease. It’s way overblown in this thread.
If people should be disallowed from bringing dogs to restaurants, it’s because of bad dog owners, not because of dogs in general. A dog laying underneath a table is causing no one any harm whatsoever.

Oh, I agree. The dog didn’t want to go the brewery. The crappy selfish owners did. It isn’t the dogs fault it’s there. Just like the 1 year didn’t want its birthday party to be at a brewery. We can’t ban the people, so ban the dogs.
I’ve seen about 1 dog at a brewery that should have been there. And it had the coolest most considerate owners. I don’t think that was a coincidence. Most dogs I’ve seen shouldnt be there and the owners should know it but don’t care.

By my count there are 18 service dogs getting onto my flight. One family has 3. One per kid. Several are barking at each other which tells me they are not real service dogs. Most are super well behaved. Waiting for 101 Dalmatians to break out on the flight.

Went to a very popular brewery in Central Mass this evening. Counted 9 dogs inside the main building. Walked by one little rat dog who was barking at everyone who passed him. Heard 3 dog vs dog confrontations and only saw one dog under the table, the rest were in the walkways. The one under the table was afraid and was the source of 2 of the dog vs dog confrontations. Was only there for about a hour. Thankfully none of the dogs lost control over their bowels.
