When my wife and I go out we enjoy watching other peoples child based catastrophes, we get to exchange the look, ah not our problem. Like James we're fortunate because our kids are well behaved but we try not to put them in situations destined for failure. I know parents who think they have the right to drag their screaming monsters into all situations and it bugs me to no end.

I'm coaching my older daughters Pony League team this spring and my younger daughter has T-Ball so these are opportunities we didn't have for entertainment before. If not great baseball, both these leagues are highly entertaining. We've been going to AA minor league games as a family and that is a very kid friendly enviroment, folks have a couple beers but in a relaxed atmosphere, with a bunch of kids activities worked in around the game. We left early from a minor league hockey game last winter due to the level of violence creeping from the ice into the stands. It was a game against Elmira so the drunks from both towns were available, bad call on our part...
