Kids, Music and Love: Noise annoys

Noise annoys

Today, I went to a Jack's Mannequin concert. I'd asked this girl I'm interested in to come with me, and she insisted that she had to bring her two year-old son with us. I'd told her it was no problem. Ten minutes into it, she said we needed to leave because it was too loud for him. FML

Today, I was at a metal concert and I met a really cute girl. We got talking, and started getting close. We were about to kiss during the transitional period between 2 bands, but I was then pulled away by her father, who owned the venue. I was thrown out. Before the main act. FML

Nervous laughter

Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML

Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML

Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML

Today, I went to a concert with my girlfriend. Turns out that bouncers don't think it's a problem for girls to go up on stage and make out with the musicians. FML

Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. Not only did the people next to me have a loud conversation through the entire set, the guy behind me repeatedly tried to lecture me for head-butting him. Given he was a foot taller than me, I'm not even sure how that was possible. FML

Today, I was going to meet my friend at a concert. I got there before her, so I went in to check out the local bands that were playing before the headliner. When she got there, I went just outside the building to give her a ticket. The security guards wouldn't let me back in. She went in anyway. FML

Today, I finally got to attend the concert I have been anticipating for weeks. The band was great. The drunk guy sitting behind me yelling profanity and out of tune lyrics in my ear throughout the entire show, however, was not. FML

Today, I went to Britney's concert. About halfway through the show, the person next to me turns to me and asks, "Can you do me a favour?" Thinking that she wanted me to look after her stuff, I said sure. Her next sentence was: "Can you stop singing?" FML

Today, I took a girl I like to the movies. Everything went great until I went in to kiss her. She didn't object, but my mother, who apparently followed me to the theater and was now pulling me away by my shirt while saying, "We're leaving!" certainly did. FML

Bringing a two-year-old on what you wanted to be a date? You set yourself up for that one.

Next time, take him to a metal concert. Maybe that way he won't grow up to be such a pussy.

YDI on so many levels: inviting a lady with baggage you knew would come along... taking a 2 yr old to a loud ass concert... expecting anything but leaving early... wasting a possible good time and your money... :/ you, sir, fail. ALSO: did you at least get laid for effort? if not, you just got awarded double fail!!

YDI when you date someone with kids, especially young kids, (and if the parent is any kind of decent parent), you have to recognize that they're a package deal, and that the kid ALWAYS comes first. Asking her to leaver her kids behind or to ignore their state of being (it is not unusual for kids to have a lower tolerance for loud noises than adults- ESPECIALLY AT 2 YEARS OLD), is to ask them to be a bad parent, a mother who really loves her kids would know that being a good parent is more important than being a good girlfriend. Try enjoying her company and making friends with her kid, instead of a) pretending the kid doesn't exist or b) considering him a liability.

Oh come on. Ever heard of a babysitter? My parents weren't in my face every second of my life. It made me independent and able to function on my own. It's the mom's fault she was dumb enough to insist on bringing the kid. Hell, she could have even said, "No, I would rather stay home with the kid," but she didn't. That's not the OP's fault.

Since when do "decent" single parents have to take their kids everywhere? Even married couples need to spend time together away from their kids. Sure, she has a right to ask that the OP spends some time with her kid(s) if he's serious about his interest. But insisting on bringing her small son along on such an obviously adult date, and a first date at that, is NOT the way to handle the situation. If she wanted to "test" him with her son she should have suggested they all spend time together beforehand. And nothing in the post suggests OP was either ignoring the kid or considering him a liability-- the fact is, there's nothing wrong with OP wanting to get to know the person underneath the Mommy hat, and that can often mean leaving the kids at home. Sure, maybe he should've offered to spring for a sitter, but that may have offended her or given the wrong impression. And btw FeedTheBrood, if you honestly think a "decent" single parent should never "leave her kids behind," I guess you believe single moms shouldn't ever have sex. Or at least for the kids' sake I *hope* you believe that!

God I really hope you aren't still trying to be with her. The poor kid. You'll end up being just like every awful step dad in a coming-of-age film.

Good for her looking out for her son's hearing, but she should have brought ear plugs for him.

OK....hmm...first off, you should realize that when kids are involved, anything is possible. However, she should never have put you in an FML position because toddlers have no business being anywhere near a rock concert. Prolonged exposure over 70dBL is enough to cause permanent damage to anyone of any age. For a toddler, that kind of noise is dangerous!
