Throwing my son a birthday party today for his second birthday today. Kids are slowly flowing in. Pray for my sanity.

Is alcohol consumption a bad look to the other parents?

Only if you aren't providing alcohol to the other adults too.

If you're hosting a 2 y we olds birthday party and not offering alcohol to the adults while you are drinking, that's like asking people to come take a ride with you on the titanic and then walking around the boat wearing the only life jacket.

Of course booze is a bad look. Never stopped our neighbors in texas though. 2 kids through to the 4th birthday each there was a keg and wine.

Not limited to birthdays. Every gathering with at least 1 person in South Louisiana has alcohol

Makes me miss those days....

When my son got into grade school, he started wanting his parties at places like the trampoline place, or bounce house place, etc.

Before that, we’d rent a big *** inflatable or two, invite (almost literally) everybody we knew and have a day-long party at our house. I always had beer/wine readily available for all and would freely give no 17 if somebody looked at me funny for having a few beers at my own home.

We had over 100 people a time or two... I miss those days!! My son always made out like a bandit, and his bday is always in prime college football season. Many a memorable day celebrating our boy....

Most informative answer. We do bounce houses for the summer birthdays in our family but unfortunately my son is December 3rd. Wasn’t much to his first birthday so the second was actually pretty great. Every kid on the street showed. Can’t wait until he’s older so he can join us outside and be more a part of it.

Wow y'all are some weak *** men of little kids bother you this much.

It’s not the kids. It’s usually the fake *** parents, typically the women. And, the realization of how much money it costs to throw a party and how it is only spoiling the kids

There’s one in every crowd isn’t there? The kids don’t bother me. Uncle to six, father to one, and neighborhood Uncle to many. 5049 was right. Expenses plus adults who treat these gatherings as social affairs rather than celebrating the kid is what brings us to drink. Lighten up and have one yourself.

A drink that is. Not a kid.
