[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. But many parents do in our neighborhood. My husband and I find it very odd. But, we don’t come from a culture where you would ever drink at a kid event. And I don’t mean we are not from the US. I just mean [b]we were raised in the south by people that did not think a kid bday party, Halloween, etc was supposed to be a fun adult event[/b].[/quote]

Um, you must be from the conservative south. I'm from Atlanta - this is very much a thing.[/quote]

Was it a thing in the 70s and 80s in Atlanta? We are from smaller towns, but it just wasn’t what we grew up with at all. And I didn’t grow up religious.

We aren’t super judgy about it. It was just surprising to us to see grown ups pulling wagons of alcohol around after we had our first kid. And I totally get that there are grown up Halloween parties and people drink. It is just the actual TOTing as a drinking activity for adults that sort of throws us. And we never provided alcohol at our kid’s bday parties when they were young. We don’t care. No one we can see is wasted.  It just isn’t something we would ever think to do. [/quote]
