Would it not be a good idea if AA arranges some kind of childcare service where someone could watch the child in another room while their alcoholic mother tries to get help? A 2yr old is not going to understand what the meeting is about but a 10 yr old child would. I don't think its appropriate to take a child to an AA meeting and I stand by that.
You do realize that AA meetings are held in different places like churches and colleges and such, right? You also realize that meetings usually are transient, which means the locations could vary from week to week.
Good for you for standing by your (flawed) logic. I guess it would be better for mom to drink at home as long as jr doesn't go to an AA meeting. LOL
She could have found someone to watch her child while she went to the meeting so she could CONCENTRATE on getting sober. Anyways I don't want to go off topic anymore. This thread is about children at restaurants not children at AA meetings.
How do you know she could have found someone to watch the child? Assumptions all around! UGH.
Obviously humans pollute the world with our cars, our wasteful lifestyles, etc. but why limit your sentiment to children? In what ways do they specifically pollute the world. Did you pollute the world when you were a child but not now that you are an adult?

You obviously have zero concept of AA and meetings. Which is a good thing, I hope you never have the chance to learn more. However, there are many people who attend AA every day, so there are occasions where taking a child to a meeting is the only option they may have. There are also meetings for women and children are usually a fixture at those meetings.
You can stand by your assumption that it's inappropriate, but seeing as you have no knowledge on which to base your opinion perhaps you could keep a more open mind on the subject.
And this thread went off topic because you questioned whether a toddler should be at an AA meeting or not. So don't ask if you don't want answers.

No, just them, not cars or wasteful lifestyles.
People can live how the hell they want, this is common knowledge.
How do kids "pollute the world"? Did you "pollute the world" when you were a kid? Or did you just skip that stage and go straight into adulthood?
Save your time. You won't get a logical answer. LOL

Are you saying that controlling one's kids is unethical.
