I hate to say this but lately it seems like there is an antibaby movement. I get that no one enjoys hearing a crying baby. Trust me I don't like hearing my baby cry. In fact I work my errands around her schedule and mood. We are probably more considerate that the childless people who are making establishments baby free.
I get that people want to enjoy their dinner on a night out... so do I.In fact I do everything in my power not to annoy everyone around us. I go out of my way to be a people pleaser. I accept the fact that some people don't like babies. Which I find weird considering the fact that everyone starts off as a baby.
I am going to be honest I am sick to death of people giving me dirty looks as I leave stores when my baby is crying. I am leaving because she is unhappy so seriously let it go. So I have decided that I can go along with the baby ban if certain criteria is met.
The baby hater group has to stop acting like giant babies in public. I understand that you decided not to have children. Guess what I don't care just like you don't care that I decided to have a child. If you want to judge my baby for things she can't help then I would like you to act appropriately in public.
This means not bitching about everything under the sun when you leave the house. When you need to get past someone say "Excuse me." Don't shove your way past me and almost knock me down. Most importantly don't be a loud obnoxious a**hole in a restaurant who can't handle their alcohol.
I seriously doubt that's ever going to happen. I have decided to look at the antibaby people the same way I look at die hard republicans. There's really nothing I can do about it so we might as well learn to coexist. My twelve week old daughter is actually better behaved in a restaurant than most adults. I would personally like to ban people who don't behave appropriately in public lets not single out one group in particular.
