  • Late Night Bowling With Daddy

    So last night, the bf and I and our favorite couple went bowling. I'm actually starting to get my skill back. It also helps if I have a couple of drinks to ease that stiffness I get in my arm right before I send the ball down.

    Anywho, it was getting close to 11 pm, and we notice the lane next to us opens up. A young dirty wanskta looking guy, along with an equally nasty young guy friend, and a little girl came walking down to get their shoes on and pick out the balls.

    Poor little girl, couldn't have been more than 3, in her pajamas and her hair was a mess. She looked like she had just woken up. She really did NOT want to be there or go bowling.

    One of the employees set up the bumpers on the gutter so the little girl could play, and her dumb daddy set her up to play her first frame, but she really didn't want to. Now, she didn't throw a tantrum or do anything loud, but from watching, you could tell that the little girl wanted to be at home ASLEEP, as most kids her age tend to be in bed by now!

    My friends and I were joking that her stupid dad and his friend took the little girl bowling so late so that they could pick up girls, and the dumb dad was going to use the little girl as bait....you know "Look at me, I'm such a great dad, I take my little girl bowling and do stuff with her so she can turn out to be a great kid!"

    That wasn't going to work. If I were single, I would have thought of him as a moron for taking his irritable kid out so late, and if I wasn't around my friend's husband who is a sometimes bad tempered ex Marine, I would have opened my mouth and said something smart to that guy, like "You're not going to get any chicks doing this. Your kid wants to go home and go to bed. Why not try another time?" or even if it wasn't to pick up girls....still......you're a parent now. You can go bowling when you get a babysitter or the Mom has the kid.

    Not even 15 minutes into it (although she only bowled one frame and the rest of the time was the stupid dad pleading with her to stay and keep trying while the kid kept telling her daddy she wanted to go home), they finally left.

    Poor kid. That's all I will say.

      Thinking back on it today, yeah we were probably mean for stereotyping him as woman hunting with his kid, he may have just been a clueless idiot young parent who still has yet to learn when is a proper time to take your kid out and about, but even so......she's a toddler, you probably should know by now that 11 pm is bedtime, not bowl time.

      Plus that kid is probably going to grow up to hate bowling.

            My mom grew up to hate it, not because her parents did anything stupid like dragging her out in the middle of the night, but her mother was on a bowling league, her father practically worked 24/7, and up until my mom was old enough to stay home by herself, she had to come along. She was bored out of her mind the whole time, so she doesn't like to bowl like my son and I like to.

            Back on topic, I have to ask -- did the little girl even have bowling shoes? Them dragging her out in the middle of the night like that was bad enough, but can you imagine if she wasn't wearing the proper footwear and dropped a ball on her toes? A buddy of mine broke a toe that way once.

              This is why some people shouldnt be parents. This is an example of "I have a kid, but Im going to do what I wanna do when I want to do it." Having kids does take some sacrifice, including nights @ home, possibly bored while your friends are out doing whatever.

                But then, that's the price you pay when you jump into bed with whoever.

                Then again, it's not just teen parents; I have seen stupid behaviour from plenty of parents who are certainly old enough to know better. Anyone remember that PFB letter from those parents who bitched about not being allowed to take their small sons into an adult film, then tried to sneak in later?

                  Definitely agree its not just teens/young parents.

                  I was a very young mommy myself and I NEVER did dumb shit like that.

                  Poor kid.

                    Haha yes I do watch Teen Mom and I can totally picture Ryan there.

                    Yes, the kid did have bowling shoes on, so at least Dad was somewhat serious about it.

                    It does seem that it was more about Daddy not wanting to give up his social life just because he had a kid.

                      More likely the bowling place requires everybody to wear shoes if they are going to be on the lanes.

                        I've noticed this a lot in the guys a pal of mine dated. They had no issues making the kids but didn't understand why they could no longer do the things they use to. Such things included drug usage, listening to music with lots of swearing, and having to actually be a parent instead of the kid's pal. They would happily invite all their pals over for massive parties on the nights they had to stay home with the kids.

                        The only thing I really cried over myself was having to go through my music and remove any and all swearing. It was more due to the size of my play list (48 hours of music here) and I refuse to put on the brain melting children's tunes. I already deal with preschool shows on my TV always and of course having a 3 year old for my only company 75% of the week. I draw the line at my music being invaded by the kiddies!

                          My son never seemed to notice it in music. My thing was I had to learn to watch myself, especially when I was driving. I have little patience for other drivers, and I'm always letting certain words slip when I'm driving, often without even noticing.

                          One day, when my son was about 3 or so, he got mad at me and called me a "stupid asshole." After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I told him that we don't say that. He informed me, "You say it in the car!"

                          Now that he's a teenager, I don't worry about it anymore. Hell, now that he's learning to drive, he's starting to let those words fly himself. As long as he knows where not to say them, I don't really care.

                            I don't get people who think they can make their little kids conform to their schedule. The kids sets the schedule. I roll my eyes when I see people with crying kids in stores at 10 pm saying, "I don't know why she's fussy!"
