You VS Dem kids

Question ⁉️⁉️⁉️ Are you 'with your kids' Or are 'your kids with You' ?? I will give you examples: 1. Kids with you: I went to a local bar/restaurant - Because they have really good seafood pasta. Anyways this place is a hookah lounge at night or sometimes midday happy hour. A mom was there with a table full of daiquiris and a hookah blowing it down with her two kids. 2. You with kids: Planning playdates, kid friendly activities all the time and making your life as child friendly as possible during the times you are with them or they are awake.

2. I’m always with my kids so only angelic things go own around them 🫠and I’m very particular about “who” is around them (specifically), what they’re surrounded by and are exposed to on a daily basis. If I need to do adult things I leave them with their nanny or my husband and I go and engage in those things on my own time / my me time.

2- I don't have a life outside of my children really

I wouldn't do a hookah bar or adult only spaces but I've definitely gotten drinks at a restaurant with my husband and brought the baby along. We take the kids to kid-friendly spaces often, we visit with friends and family often. So we do both, but it's rare that it's the first option.

I clicked the wrong answer but the kid friendly option lol

Mix of both. My toddler has been to lovely restaurant and bars and behaves. I don’t always do kids friendly only activities, she blends with us wherever we go as long as it’s appropriate. But hookah? Late at night? With alcohol? No way.

What are “Dem Kids”?

Kids are with me.

Same answer as @Sarah . We also host friends a lot who also have kids. We’ll have their families over on Sundays for football for example, and the adults will have some beers, seltzers or wine. Adults have a great time and the kids love playing together. Win win.

My Kid’s!!

I be with my daughter. But when I’m not pregnant, I smoke weed which I try not to do around her. It’s hard at times but I’ll stand a bit back if we’re alone at a park to go ahead or I’ll put her in the car with her iPad to give myself time to stand outside to smoke. That’s about it. I’m not taking her anywhere crazy or blowing shit in her face basically or a small space. When she was tiny she did go to restaurants with me like twice when friends were drinking but I was just eating and being anywhere bc I don’t like to drink and am always in fear of being kidnapped. I think once at an outdoor community event I had 1 spiked drink while holding her or having her in the stroller but that’s the closest she’s been to liquor too. But I’m not comfy with alcohol myself so she sure won’t be near it if I can help it. And smoking in her direct vicinity is a no no as well nor in the car or the home. That’s it and that’s the most and closest.

But also if you’re at a restaurant drinking and not straight bar - long as you not driving them out or plastered you’re good. The hookah worries me a bit cause I can just imagine it being right in their faces like damn bro. Also ages matter of the kids.

Mostly 2. 1 on rare occasion but mostly bc my kids are very small and I dont find activities suited for me enjoyable with them anyway. I’ve accepted it’s all about them for a while. And when I want to make it about me, I’ll find a nanny.

@Macdalia one around 3or4. Then other around 9 or 10

@Brittany that’s the best case scenario 🙌🏼

Mostly 2 but I’m not opposed to doing 1. I’ve taken them to Latin festivals before 😂 and kid friendly bars. Not a hookah lounge that’s somewhere I go w my gfs lol. I do see friends on the weekends too and go to adult places w them or date nights w Hubby. So mainly I do 2 w the kids and 1 with gfs or Hubby. I’ve never seen babies or kids in a hookah lounge - one time I saw a drag show there (like a drag was dancing to music not like a whole show) and the other time at another place there’s belly dancers there on a Friday night lol. But maybe coz I go at night. Never seen kids there.

“You with your kids” cause they didnt ask to be born 🤷🏼‍♀️ thats my view at least. Im livin for them rn😂 especially while they’re young

Depends, definitely would never take my kids to a place with hookah though that’s insane.

@Christina she means "them kids"

@Ella omg thank you….i suddenly feel too old to be on this app 🫠🫣

lol

I meant the first one lol

Like I’m always choosing child safe activities

i’m with my kids, but also before kids i also preferred the park over bars and hookah lounges so maybe the kids are with me looool

@quiddo 😆

a mix of both but i wouldn’t take my daughter to a shisha bar & be blowing smoke around them! no judgement just not something i’d do! i can’t always go everywhere without my daughter, so i may go somewhere with friends (some have kids & some don’t, some will bring their LOs too) & have a drink, but i wouldn’t take her to a proper bar or a shisha lounge, she’s been to the pub in summer when there wasn’t a lot of people & we sat outside, but she was a lot younger & friends moved away to smoke cigs.
