Joe and Anne (Husband and wife) invited myself, my other friend (Bob), and Rick and Diana (Husband and Wife) over for New Years. Myself and Bob always go to Joe and Anne's for New Years. This year, Rick and Diana are coming. I just found out that Rick and Diana are bringing their 2 1/2 year old son (Chris) to New Years. Joe and Anne have an 18 month old (Samantha). Samantha will most likely be in bed by 9:00 or so, but Chris will most likely be up the whole freaking night. Anne warned Diana that its more of an adult-themed party, and there will be cursing, drinking, and probably watching movies that are not too kid friendly. Diana replied, "That is fine, as long as the movies don't have strong violence or strong language and there is not a lot of cursing."
Now, the thing is, I 100% do not agree with this. When I go to my friends house, Im pretty much stuck watching cartoons. I am fine with that, but New Years Eve is not a kid friendly "holiday." Why should we all censor ourselves the ONE night of the year, where kids should not be present? Joe asked Rick if they can find a babysitter. He told Rick that our plan was NOT to censor ourselves during the night if we choose not to.
The question becomes: who is right and who is wrong?

Nether Animal, your opinion means a lot. Please, give me guidance.

That is just selfish. They knew it was a New Years party for adults but they still force their kid and their rules on you. If it was me I'd say that I couldn't come if I couldn't get a babysitter for the kid instead of ruining the fun for everyone. People thinks just because they have kids everyone should kowtow to their needs. I agree with you on this.

Thank you guyincognito. I suspect that I am also right. I just don't understand why she has to bring her kid along. Its just ONE night out of the year! ONE night.

Exactly. One night. What, she couldn't get a sitter? If not, she should just excuse herself from the party and celebrate with her family and try to go next year. Would be the decent thing to do, in my opinion.

Update:
Diana texted Anne and told her that she will not be coming, but Rick, her husband would come, and she would sit home with Chris.
WTF!! Just find a babysitter!! Why make things so complicated? ??? ???

I hate this new style of parenting where everything revolves around the kids 24/7 365 and you give up everything fun.

It's turning into a regular sausage-fest! You and Bob should have fun with many new delights.

Beat me to it :D

The thing is, growing up I watched horror movies and heard people curse all the time. It had little to no effect on me. Even if she did bring her son, him hearing some curse words will have absolutely no effect on him whatsoever. She acts like hes going to be traumatized for life. ??? ???

Bob is dating someone, shes just not coming that night.
Hulkotron, what would you do in this scenario? Youre one of the bigger guys on here and will have sound advice.

You are right, she is just being hysterical. It was like that when I grew up too, on another continent from you. She needs to get over this notion that her special little snowflake is too delicate to be around conversing normal adults.

Kids don't know what New Years is all about anyway.
They decided to have kids, they should stay home with them and just be family friendly or get a sitter.
That's just what you do when you are a parent.

Dear SF1900,
Without boring everyone with a long diatribe of how my American cohorts have completely distorted the lines of parenting,
you are completely correct in expecting an adult night and not the selfishness of someone imposing their child and their own rules
upon others at what is, undoubtedly, an adult affair.

I agree that they should get a sitter. They can leave their child for ONE night.

Woo, you are always right.

Harley, this is all I needed to hear. Your word is definitely "gold." Thank you.

You don't need blame, who's right or wrong, you need a solution. Here it is. There is a certain sound frequency that adults cannot hear but kids can, especially babies. It drives them crazy and makes them cry constantly. I think it is available as a ringtone. So you can get it for your phone and drive the coup,e with the kid out, or if you are more kind, you can tell them that you have noticed that there is something about the house/apartment that for some reason seems to drive babies to cry. Have them come over and test it out first and let them see for themselves that the kid will be crying. Then they'll either get a babysitter or not come.

AVOID having kids and avoid the whole problem.

Nah I'm kinda high and half in the bag. Bedtime.

Bill secretly invited Donald to Hilary's coronation party, and Joe & Friends had no idea what was going on.
-
If the children are really going to be there I would politely decline with that being the reason. No one of good conscience could hold that against you as you are behaving as a proper adult should.

With things like this, morality is subjective. :D :D

Perhaps, but the fact that you asked the collective shows you are hesitant toward attending with children present. That indicates you have already subjected the scenario to your morality.

Kahn N. Singh should weigh in on this. He always knows what to do.

Finding a sitter is hard, especially on that night. I'll say though, that your friend who is hosting should've just said it was not a kid friendly event. It's like a wedding, if they say no kids, you don't bring your kids.

Kahn N. Singh has deep insight into many things. His philosophical views will provide the truth on the matter.

That is what they basically said.
Oh well, it is what it is. :D :D

Indeed. And he will (as usual) dazzle us with his scintillating prose.

No thanks. NO HOMO here!
The question isn't about kids and babysitters. It is about whether SF should attend being the odd one out. He should go somewhere where he is going to enjoy the occasion.
What you! award for having to ask Getbig what to do!

Host is wrong. Because she should just straight up say it's not kid friendly. I been to house parties were adult brings their kid and a sitter and they say in other room. Is that an option?

she did get around to telling her it wasnt kid friendly.
No, that is not really an option. She won't be going. Oh well.

You have kids, you make sacrifices....it goes with the territory, you may miss a few parties
You get used to it, just make the most of when you do get rid of them for the night..
