“I take my 7 year old to festivals with orgy tents and drugs”
Bianca Snyder and her partner attend the famous US dessert festival Burning Man every year.
So when they got their son Tage, it was only natural that he should come with them.
For the past seven years, the family of three has attended the annual festival, which includes an “orgy dome”, drugs and revelers in extravagant costumes.
“Our son goes everywhere we go and that’s just how we live,” she said insider.
While she acknowledges that there are many events at the festival that aren’t age-appropriate for days, she says people can “get the experience you want to have.”
“There are people who do yoga and there are people who have important conversations relevant to improving the future of humanity.
“There are people who experience art.”

Mom takes son to Burning Man
Biancawho owns a cannabis company with her partner, said she was mercilessly trolled for bringing days as a baby to the event.
“A photo of me breastfeeding was in Burning Man’s 110 Most Epic Photos. A flood of hurtful words followed. I thought: why am I ashamed of doing something that I love and that is natural? I realized that people on the internet know absolutely nothing about my life experience or my perspective on life. It was a turning point where I said fuck it. I do it my way
“Despite what the haters have said about me, I can live in my bubble of happiness and enjoy every moment of motherhood without succumbing to criticism or the expectations of others.”

But Bianca argues that days develop important life skills at the annual event.
The family rides bikes through the desert, climbs artificial landscapes, and it all encourages Days to be brave and curious.
“We pack more fun, laughter, play and adventure into two hours of Playa exploration than most families will ever experience. No regrets,” she wrote on TikTok.
According to Burning Man’s website, “Children are absolutely welcome at Burning Man … but the decision to bring children under the age of 18 should not be taken lightly, especially if you have never been there.”
There are “hard and unpredictable elements and environments” and “areas of the event that are geared towards adults and not suitable for children”.
