    I think that is just awful sitting in drinking pints when with kids, jeez get a sitter and go drinking but taking the kids to the pub while you have a swift one is frankly disgusting to me.

    If it's women drinking their children's allowance money then it should be known as C**T Tuesday to be honest. That's beyond awful.

    children allowance should be vouchers but knowing the scum they just sell them

    I bought stuff to benefit my kids with mine. Disgusting to think they dragged their kids to a pub though. If you can afford to drink, you can afford a babysitter.

    why?

    everyone gets it, we all know that plenty of people don't need it. if the government are stupid enough to give some lady free money, let her do whatever she wants with their stupidity after her kids are alright.

    Kids in pubs will never be alright though. Let them have a drink while a babysitter is at home with the kids by all means but don't bring your kids into a predominantly adult environment.

    I should have known that's why the coffee shops were busy today. I went for a coffee today in Limerick, a place I don't usually go to but my usual haunt was jammed solid. There was a group of women with kids at the table in front of me. One of the kids can't have been more than 6/7 and he was being a nuisance and complaining to the mother. She told him there were plenty of places he could visit, she started by listing his granny's. She didn't make it past suggesting granny as he shouted 'shut up bitch' at her.

    In my day that would not have been tolerated. Jesus I'm 40 now and I'd say my mother would give me a slap in the face if I spoke to her like that.

    What was her response to that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,825 ✭✭✭Fart


    How much do they get for this "mickey money"?

    Not enough to pay for a babysitter it seems, perhaps they should think of increasing it.

    That'd explain the three kids abandoned in the magazine aisle beside the offlicence section of the mini-supermarket down the road earlier... shop staff didn't seem to care either mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭Nemeses


    I'd like some free money to go to the pub..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    I have a mickey.


    Do I get money for it?


    Well yes I do.


    But only because the stripclub pays me to show it off.

    for some people, it is.

    i can't say sunday lunch in a pub ever caused a psychological crisis in my house, but each to themselves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,314 ✭✭✭caustic 1


    Sunday lunch or any lunch or occasion is not the point, for me anyhow, it's stopping in for a drink. Surely it couldn't be that strong of an urge that it couldn't wait until you had a sitter.

    Government and all that crap aside, on a base level it boils down to mothers spend money meant for their children on booze instead.

    Which is scummish behaviour.

    Can I have a pint of horrible ****bags please?

    I know that is the conclusion some people draw from the name, but I don't know of any instruction to that effect.

    The payment is some odd, non means tested reward for squirting out babies. A belief that it is only to be spent on the children presumes that the mothers need financial help with raising her children, and of course many do not.

    Sunday lunch is slightly different though. Sunday is a family day mostly. A bit of dinner and off to an event for most families not a day to get boozed up while your kids are left unsupervised.
