Your thoughts.

So the downtown aquarium is having a special Valentine's date night. It is a 3 course dinner, wine, roses, 2 passes into the aquarium and a photo. It is after normal hours. Reservation required. 

So on their facebook page under this post a woman comments

Can we bring our 16 month old son? I don't have anyone to babysit but would still like to go out."

They never replied to her. 

My thoughts are

1. It is over a month away, so she could find someone to babysit

and

2. This is for adults and she shouldn't bring her son anyways and is being a little inconsiderate towards others.

It is called Romance Under the Sea, what is romantic about having kids around?

Re: Your thoughts.

  • I'd reply back "If kids are allowed I think you will lose customers." I'd actually be more snarky to the lady in question, but maybe my grinch heart is growing for some reason.

  • Nothing is romantic about having kids around.

  • That is such an awesome idea, but I would be livid if we made reservations to go there and someone brought their kid.

    Idiots.

  • I agree that Valentines' should be more about the couple and leaving the kid at home is ideal for everyone, including other customers there.

    However, the aquarium here is a known family hotspot that is crawling with kids, so it's not surprising she thinks kids are okay to bring.

  • WTH? uhm...no. What's romantic about a crying baby?

    i can't believe that person was selfish enough to ask

  • I normally would agree that it is a family place, but the after normal hours is what makes it for adults.

    I get it. It's usually a kid-friendly place... but it's a romantic night... surely they'd want to spend a little alone time without the kid.

    I agree with this, it is the same here. Though I would think after hours, wine, and two passes would completely eliminate any chance of children being allowed.

    I would probably also comment on them losing customers if children are allowed.

  • this is time for another edition of:

    "babies ruin everything" -GLW

  • That sounds so magical.

    Let's not let a baby ruin it. They ruin everything you know. 

  • my thoughts are "Oh No she didn't". Cut the cord already and go out without your kid. I already said this to Jessie but my parents had no problem leaving me home with a sitter or family member to go out and even went on many vacations without me so it has always been my view to leave the kid at home.

    That's perfect!

  • Ha. No kidding it is just for one night... find the kid a sitter.

  • My thought is, dude, let the baby ruin your own night if you want, but don't ruin it for everyone.

    Oh I can't take credit for that. It's GLW's original quote.

    Exactly. And 2 passes. + Wine. 

    Maybe it is because I do not have kids of my own but I do not understand why you "cannot find a sitter" when it's over a month away.

  • That is more than enough time to find a sitter.

     

  • I guess I will just make sure to ask if it is just adults when I call for information. If they are allowing kids, I am finding somewhere else to go.

  • Find a sitter or stay home.  You had a kid and now you don't get to to all of the things that you want to do when you want to do them.  That was your choice.  It is not a requirement that you go to this event.

    Sorry...had screaming babies ruin quite a few dates in the past.

  • I agree that the "2 passes + wine" makes me think that it's kid free... I'll keep my fingers crossed that when you call and check they tell you the same thing. It sounds fun!
