I'm going to the show tonight. I hope I see you with a 3 year old, so I can take your picture and post it on Facebook with the caption "parent of the year." It will also be used as evidence when I call CPS. Some people obviously shouldn't be allowed to procreate. Enjoy the show!!!!
Great idea. Someone really should call the dept of social services child abuse dept.
You guys are silly. If the kid is wearing some hearing protection device, which the father sated he would be, that case would go nowhere.
This is not to say I think it's a great idea to bring a 3-year-old, just saying there's no reason to act all high and mighty.
This could go on forever. You can never convince people how to raise their kids. I'm sure I could dig up some horrific event to prove this is not a good idea but I don't even wanna think like that. Whatever, just let these people be "those" parents. I'll continue to be a good one. Until I bring my 4 day old to Portland or Spokane. Or wait, is that too young. I just want his first concert to be special.
And I've seen the Fresh Beat Band twice and they're awesome live. That guy needs to take his kids to see them and let them be kids. Not what he wants them to be.
You were doing okay until spewing this nonsense. You're not a better parent just because you choose to keep them away from rock concerts. This isn't a simple yes or no situation and any parent should understand that. Just agree to disagree.
I think he's a better parent by keeping his kids away from rock concerts.
Same here.

Yeah, hearing protection. I'm sure that will save him.

That's the spirit. Make sure the kid can't really hear anything at a concert unsuitable for kids - should be a really worthwhile experience. He'd better also bring a gas mask to protect the toddler from the pot fumes surrounding him. And a blindfold to keep him from witnessing drug use. And don't forget the caffeine pills - he's going to need them if you want him to stay up 5 hours past his bedtime.

I think an indoor arena show would be a pretty awful environment for any young child, for lots of reasons. And they've all pretty much been stated. If you truly think you kid can handle it, that's your call, but know that it's likely that it'll put a damper on your enjoyment, others' enjoyment and your kid probably won't remember it and if they do it's a crapshoot on whether or not it's a good memory.
I took my 3 year old to an outdoor MMJ show and she really liked dancing around, but she got tired of it about halfway through. Luckily, it was at a state park, so there were walkways and places to go sit away from the show and still hear the tunes. If you're real set on taking a young kid to a show, I'd advise to wait around for something like this.
I know a woman who brought her toddler to a movie when the baby was just 2, the kid now has hearing problems... most likely from the movie theaters she exposed him to.
Some parents just don't care. They are going to do what they want despite the clear and present dangers. Not to mention, all those people at a dirty concert venue and all those germs... kids put everything in their mouths.
The OP posted once, with a "hot" topic and let everyone duke it out. Probably doesn't have a kid, just trolling...
...but just in case, taking a 3 year old to a concert is a waste.
Could be , but this topic has come up before. I don't doubt for a second moronic parents bring young kids to a concert not because it is the right thing to do, but because they are projecting themselves onto their kids.

I'm not a fan of very small children at shows. And by very small children I mean any child that isn't at least....12 years old. Unless they are really really really into the band and asking to go. I remember being 13 I was in 6th grade and I heard pearl jam was coming to town. It was the first time I wanted to go see them, even though I listened to them for years before that. A concert never really occurred to me as something I wanted to do until I was a teen.

I just hope this person smartens up.

The hearing protection won't drown out the sound enough when he's trying to sleep in his seat.
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

So true about projecting.
Yes, you caught my spelling error. That totally validates your careless and ignorant parenting.
Glad you will probably be passing down that classy way of talking to your children as well.
Yeah, a performer's children watching there parents onstage is a little different then your situation. :fp:
Trying to compare yourself makes you almost as bad as the OP.

^this!
we have the lottery because there aren't enough tickets to go around for members, but a 3 year is going. :problem:
This didn't disappoint
Wind this thing up.
Maybe the account / tickets are in the 3 year old's name, and only he can will call them.
