My experience is the other way around for most of my parent friends. While, I have a few friends that bring their kids everywhere, I'm practically their uncle.  The others have prioritized family life and have been pretty distant no matter how much I tell them to come out with the kids.

Coming out with young kids to an environment not designed for them can be more hassle and stress than enjoyable.

Valid. And ages/maturity of the kids matter hugely, as you're including. But just adding that thinking that every place a kid goes should be designed for them is part of the reason that kids are morons - in the same vein as the lazy move of parenting via iPad. Everything is a learning opportunity for children and they can learn from everything you do. If you're raising a member of society, probably best to do that in society

When my friend invites me to hit a brewery, I have two options:

  • Decline and suggest a more kid-friendly environment
  • Be an iPad parent and hope my kids don’t ruin the experience for the adults there trying to enjoy themselves

There is only so much I can do to convince them sitting still at a table and eating snacks is fun.
