No. I am not speaking of family weddings, cookouts, and sports, I was commenting on the Dock Street Party.
If one takes a child to a restaurant where there¹s tables. etc. away from the bar and a child¹s menu, I would not have a problem with that. I still feel if it¹s a drinking party opening, kids should not go. Still, little children shouldn¹t be allowed everywhere and hear and see everything their parents do. What¹s wrong with that? Why can¹t they be kids?
