yea I’m taking the toddler to a rooftop bar next time

Who still goes to rooftop bars in their 30s?

House party, bonfire in the back yard, hang out with friends without paying 4x what you should for your drinks, and when the kid is ready to sleep put the little bugger down in a pack and play inside.

Laugh if you want I guess, but it's 100% on you if you let the kid ruin your life.

My cousin John is the model of taking your kid everywhere.

As early as 1 year old he took his daughter to a fish concert. He proceeded like that for the last 16 years. She’s the most adjusted, go with the flow, outgoing 16 year old I know.

He’s in a little bit of trouble because she is getting to partying age, and she is most definitely gonna party.

He has already caught her (kinda) partying at his house while he is out of town. His neighbor called him and told him there was some noise coming from his backyard. She coordinated a shuttle for all the kids that came to the party so no one would park on the street. She also “hired” ushers that had to wear Masters shirts and hold up signs if people got too loud. Only reason she got caught was this neighbor happened to hear something and look over the fence. So he kinda created a monster. But if you know my cousin John (Dan may have met him), you know it was inevitable. My cousin John has the highest motor of anyone I know. That guy doesn’t have an off switch.

Anyway, he literally changed nothing about his life from the time she was born until now.

That’s definitely far to one extreme but I do think a balance is important. Kids should see that their parents have a life and the world isn’t just 100% about serving their needs. Sure, a kid might not adopt the parent’s interests specifically, but seeing them have passions, hobbies, etc seems important to me.

I say rock on, John. I’m guessing that’s not the Boxster guy?

The feeding schedule is tough but if you can work around that and bring a bottle then you can go nearly anywhere with them.

That may depend on which rooftop doe. My hotel has a rooftop bar which we do allow people who aren't guests and ive seen parents take their kids there. But its not exactly like a regular night club.

Yeah for sure. They had it into a mechanic recently when they decided they were for sure selling, and he gave it an all clear, but I’d want to have someone look it over as well.

It’s in nice shape. One long scratch in one of the plastic fenders, but that could probably be buffed out, and if not at the price range we’re talking.

Yep! That’s what we talked about. I’d happily pay $5k for this.

I thought they wanted something like 12-16k... but maybe my memory has faded.

Yeah when she first offered it to me in like October(?) she had said they were looking for 10k.

She randomly texted me last night to say they were looking at some vehicles in Utah and wanted to see if I had any interest in it before they pulled a trigger. When I saw it this morning I told her about the vehicles I’ve been casually browsing and that right now my max budget is $6k but I’m looking more in the $4-5k range just for something to get me to the gym and back with more flexibility and she said they could probably do that, but she’d talk to BIL and see what kind of trade in offer he gets today.
