why do we even have to explain this?

From Austin Craigslist: Girl who yelled at me for commenting on her bringing her baby to a bar (Not written by me, in case you are wondering. Last night at the Highball, in the *bar* I saw a woman carrying what appeared to be a 7-9 month old baby. Um, please go bowl or something. Not hang out at the bar.

This is wrong, and stupid. A) you shouldn't be out at a bar drinking and performing child care for reasons that are obvious, B) sure we may not smoke in the bars here anymore but that doesn't make it any more of a kid friendly environment all of the sudden and C) why, why, why are you inflicting a crying baby on a bar full of people? Bars are for grown ups, not babies.

If you can't afford a babysitter, stay home. It's not that hard of a concept. If you are determined to be drunk, buy a damn six pack. It will be cheaper at the grocery store than the bar anyway!

I will not even begin to go into my feelings about women who are drunk and breastfeeding at the bar, except to say that CPS *will* take a report on that.

W.T.F.

Ok, babies in bars are cool if the bar also serves food or it is before 8pm. After that, no dice.

I'm sorry, just no. Not cool outside of those parameters. Because you're either keeping your kid awake or disturbing other patrons.

It's like people who bring their kids to midnight movies! I have no patience for this shit.

Seriously. I am totally unable to go to theaters other than the Drafthouse now, because of their no kids under 6 policy except for special baby day showings. That and the super strict no talking policy.
