thanks for the replies-i was very suprised that my friend would allow that-we believe its too much too soon-i know kids see more at the beach but that is at the beach-also, dont want to have my 10 yr old son go to a place thats name is a slang for a womans body parts-im glad im not the only one-
I was sure this was going to be a teenager and I was going to say that I think it's fine for a teen's birthday party. But I wouldn't do it for a pre teen. We occaisionally eat at Hooters after sports events but I wouldn't intentionally plan a birthday party for a 10 year old there.
IMO the best birthday parties for 10-13 year old boys involve going to the park to play games and eating pizza and cake. If it's hot outside swimming parties are fun at that age also.
I don't know, I actually think Hooter's is pretty tame. I don't know if I would plan my son's 10th birthday party around going to Hooter's, but I wouldn't hesitate to take him there to eat after another activity as part of his birthday.
To each their own, but I would probably let my son go and have fun with his friends and the dads. He can see far more risque dress/activity than eating at Hooter's in cartoons, advertising, etc.
I probably wouldn't plan a birthday party there because I think a bunch of 10 year olds would have more fun doing something else as previous posters have suggested. However, I wouldn't hesitate to take my child there for a meal during the day. I used to do lunch there a lot because I happen to like their wings and the service was fast (at least at the location I went to).
The other side of this is that you need to think of the impact on your son socially among his friends when he misses his friends party for what amounts to a pretty lame reason. I think you may do more harm in keeping him from socializing with his friends and the dads (never underestimate the importance of father/son social time with other fathers/sons) then you will by exposing him to girls in hot pants and tight shirts. The most harm that can come out of Hooter's is a little indigestion from eating too many wings.
hi-i'd love to hear from other people on this one. my sons best friend is having a party at hooters-just a couple of boys and their fathers-my son is not going-my husband and i just dont think its appropriate-by the way, the birthday boy is turning 10-it makes me sad how this is becoming more "normal" where i live-i am in ny-long island-when did it become ok to expose children purposely to such overt sexuality?? if adults want to go fine-but these are kids? what do you think??
Agreed...possibly the dumbest new trend I've heard of lately...stick to your guns
