I’d have the dad’s take the kids. You moms do what you want.

What is wrong with you people? Of course we take the kids to the winery. Some of them are rather family friendly. We set up games, they run around, listen to music. We've don't it for years. And by the looks of other families there, lots of people do the same. It's fun. We're all together. Sorry that is so hard for you to imagine. JFC.

People don’t typically go to wineries to get sloshed. We have a picnic and drink 1 glass of wine apiece. Don’t be ridiculous!

Parents who believe children should welcome everywhere are annoying as F.

Well many wineries are welcoming to kids, reflected in both the menu and games, etc. available to them, so maybe your beef should at least partially be with them.

I'm the biggest teetotaler you can imagine. By choice and not by religious to boot! I am just not into the whole drinking thing. It completely escapes me and wine does nothing for me.

Even I have no problem taking kids to wineries. It sounds like a fun family outing.

(sigh) Is there anything that would be fun and would not be terrible with our token toddler? Was hoping for something a little less child friendly than a typical kid-event that we'd do on a weekend.

Seriously this is the weirdest and worst parenting trend I’ve ever seen. Parents drinking wine while their kids run around. WTF. You guys are going to say it’s fine but really? We (group of adults) went to a winery last year. 20 and 30 somethings all drinking wine with babies running around. Toddler in the parking lot while the really cool parent picnicking with olives, cheese and bread enjoying their Chardonnay. Seriously? What a trend. Parent your kids. Get a babysitter when the activity is drinking alcohol.

So you've never been to Europe?

THIS. ISN'T. EUROPE.

I'm sure the indoor play places won't be crowded at all on a rainy weekend day.

Ok Karen. We get it. You’ve never been anywhere but Orlando and you do not approve of those freewheeling European ways.

lol at all the pearl clutchers in this thread!

i've never been to a winery that wasn't full of kids. if you're drinking so much that you can't drive afterwards, then yes, you're irresponsible, but i've not seen this happen. usually one parent has a glass of wine and the other gets to drink more.

many wineries even have special activities for the kids so the parents can relax and enjoy their time.

I'm a million years old, and back in the day kids weren't hidden away. adults and kids had different lanes, but inhabited the same spaces.

And this is why we don't go to wineries.

Dad will handle those problems. Him stepping up and figuring how to keep them safe and happy is the best Mother’s Day Gift he could provide.
