Really? The 35 pound 3 foot kid that probably doesn't even touch you running by annoys you more than the 200 pound guy sweating buckets with ski boots still on stumbling by and pushing into you and spilling beer on you as they inch along the narrow corridor that is the CRP? Pre-kid wasn't too long ago for me so I have a pretty good memory of not caring if there were kids or not. Or in fact not caring about what anyone did with their time. Be it a granny knitting at a table or a kid eating some mac and cheese. It falls under a broad category called none of my business. Live and let live. If other people going about their business is that disturbing to you then I'm sorry. If I want a seat then I should show up earlier. No reason I'm more entitled to a seat than anyone else. Of course if I see you coming I'll get up for you. I mean why shouldn't I? You're clearly there to do something entirely different than me.
Pool table and you're talking about PTP, which was not what the topic was on. I fully agree kids at the pool table when adults want to play is annoying. No argument and mine stays off, but again the CRP is what we were talking about here. Clearly you weren't because you also spoke about the bad food and if you've been to the CRP lately then you haven't had the truffle fries.
Fourwide - I get what you're saying. i just disagree on a ski bar being different. As for having to curb your behavior around kids not around mine. Please no. I brought him in there knowing where I was going. A bar type area should expect a certain behavior and language. If I don't like it, for my kid or myself, I can leave. I don't expect anyone to cater to me. Similarly if I'm there and someone doesn't like me being there they are more than welcome to leave too. Or we can both stay and not get bothered by silly things that don't actually effect you and are only perceived notions in your head that you put there. I get that when there's a kid around you might be self conscious. I guess though if one F bomb was held back as a result is the world worse off as a result or a day ruined? I doubt it. Never bothered me. If an F Bomb is called for then by all means drop it. Hell bumpcrasher has the honor of having the first swear repeated by my kid and it was pretty funny. Kid are parrots. What can you do?
