It's not always right to bring a child to a bar, but my parents brought me on several occasions, and watched me well, and I of course was never in danger of anything except maybe being over spoiled by happy go lucky drunks that had a soft spot and an open wallet for kids. Not all parents neglect their children. And as the other person said, it's normal in several cultures, and to add that, those cultures don't see it as unethical. It may not be the norm here in the US but it's definitely not illegal or unethical up to a certain time of day. You should maybe try to figure out why it's okay to bring a child to a bar before you criticize?

And that's why I said that not all parents neglect their kids..

A lot of restaurants serve alcoholic drinks too and some people get drunk, but it's still okay to bring kids there. My mum, for example, likes to bring me along with her and her co workers to these barbecue places where most people drink and eat and just have a good time. She would drink too, but she always makes sure that she's not too drunk to take good care of me. I never got in trouble. I guess it just all depends on the adults to make sure that they don't get too drunk to take care of their kids.

Not bars, but people bring their kids to pubs etc

What an ignorant comment O.o
That is absolutely normal in many cultures, especially in close communities where everyone knows everyone; and it would only be unethical if the person got drunk to the point of endangering the child. The ethnocentric close-mindedness of people is what has the world so fucked up.... smh
what the fuck?! the dad just goes drinking with her baby daughter?! what the fuck
