My OH & I still like to go out on Friday nights, though it’s a long time since we had a Friday night drink after work!
The last few Fridays we’ve been grumpy old people because on a busy Friday night we’ve been seated by two families with half a dozen children around 8/9 years old running around, even going up to the bar pushing between the adult groups standing there drinking. The parents (middle class professional hipster types) chat/laugh amongst themselves and ignore them. This is at 9 O’clock on the busiest evening of the week. The children are bored stiff so I can’t blame them, but I’m fed up of complacent parents inflicting their children on other people.
