They don’t. Some people just like to be miserable. We frequently meet up for lunch/early dinners at brew pubs with other families and it’s very much a normal thing and not something that’s a big deal at all.

Where do you work and how often do you have to be there? Commuter rail will get you to South Station, hopefully the times work for you.

A friend bought in Holbrook during the pre-Obama real estate bubble. Holbrook took longer to recover property values than places closer to Boston. I’d bet the same is true of other places, but something to keep in mind.

I take it your wife’s brother is not a current state employee?

ETA: Just to add context to my cynicism. I worked every summer during college for the MDC (yes I’m old). This job was impossible to get unless you knew somebody. I literally picked up trash and mowed weeds next to route 16 for minimum wage. All of my co-workers were either college kids or prisoners.

An actual career-track job with health insurance and a pension is not something you can just apply for, unless things have changed dramatically for the better.

My god when slumbrew had their tent at assembly it was a godsend to a new family. They had tons of toys and it allowed a stressed out and sleep deprived mom and dad a few minutes to feel like a fucking person. By the amount of nods from other families it was gold. No one is taking there kids to bars after 7pm.

Who is "we" and why would anyone care what "we" thinks or notices?

There should be a time cutoff (5 or 6 pm) for 21+ but where else are childless and childbearing friends supposed to get together? The childless still want to see their friends with kids and big breweries are the perfect place to do it.

If "we" don't like it there are plenty of bars for drinking that don't allow kids.

Didnt think asking a question about dinner with kids at 5pm would get all the millennials panties in a twist.

Do most people bring their kids to the bar, sitting at the bar, at 10 pm? Whats with all the panic?

ROFLMAO. Nope. Im trying to get the kids to dance on the bar and bother people. Also gotta make sure they run all over the place and bother you. Also, its even better at 10pm or later.
