Is it tacky to take your kid into a liquor store?
Is it morally wrong, just plain tacky or A-OK to take kids to the liquor store? Does the age of the kids make a difference?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I had a little ladies’ night last Saturday night for a few of my preschool mom friends. I was making sangria and needed Triple sec for the recipe. I opted to sub in another orange-flavored liqueur because I didn’t want to take my children into the liquor store to buy the other ingredient.
What’s odd is I bought the red wine at the grocery store with my son and wasn’t embarrassed by that. However, taking them into the liquor store just seems trashy.
My husband said if I just bought one or two bottles of something then that wasn’t trashy. However, if I needed a cart then I was over the line. One of the moms at the party said when you ask the kids to carry the bottles out for you then you are over the line.
What do you guys think? Where is the line with the liquor store and kids? Is it worse if they’re older and understand what you are buying or worse if you’ve got a baby on your hip?
