Well Can you try your best not be hungover for tomorrow maybe. If you must drink tonight - maybe limit it so that you won't be hungover.

As for activities to with the kids - yep - park, feeding ducks, playground. That would depend on the weather. Library maybe if it's raining.

Safe to say you're new to after hours

Don't drink and use the money you'll save to spend on the kids.....


......failing that - Phoenix Park with a football. They've also a decent playground near the visitors' centre. (St Anne's or Marlay Park is another option depending on your location.

If you go to the Phoenix Park, park at the Papal Cross and tell them to have a race up and down the hill there......then get them to do it again.....and again.....and again

Or a brisk walk / kickabout on the beach. See if you can get a kite and fly it there with them.

The added bonus is that the fresh air will knock 'em out tomorrow night - and you too probably!

PizzamanIRL

Just leave them at the local playground. Someone will pick them up.

Jawgap

For info - there's playgrounds in Stephens Green and Merrion Square, if you are heading to a museum.

I'm not his wife. I'm not married and I don't have a husband or kids. Just hangovers are rotten and hangovers and work/kids is not a nice mix.

Tearin It Up

Don't drink tonight, save your money.

Take kids to the pub tomorrow.

Why are you planning on being hungover, not to be a judgemental judy but maybe don't drink to excess as your plan for the evening?

It's not in Cork. Fota is in Cork, no idea where Foto is.

Baggy Trousers

Bring them to a long beach. Kids loves beaches at any time of the year. Running around, the wind, the rocks, rockpools, seaweed, sand and of course water. It can be rejuvenating even with a hangover.

You could start by staying off the alcohol today. Whatever about the cost, your children deserve more respect from you than to deliberately get drunk in advance of being with them for the day. They will not relish a stinking slob for company.

Instead of getting pissed spend your money on your children like any decent father would.

I don't know if you can take the dogs for walks, but they do encourage visitors. You can see all the animals (in their little cages), and they have an outside space with farm animals too. It's actually pretty interesting. You might bring home a dog though.

AboutaWeekAgo

Get some boxing gloves and watch them fight each other in the local park. Bring a few cans for yourself as well.

Sunnyisland

Get the bus and bring them into o Connell st and let them walk up and down the boardwalk.

Where they will learn about the different medications that are on sale,it will help them in there future medical career in a few years.
