[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the sad fact is that many of the PPs complaining about this just haven't been to a nice bar since before their kids were born, and they've ignored and swallowed their resentment about this and instead are projecting anger against those parents who still have a happy healthy social life post-baby. A wine bar in downtown DC does not involve loud music or drunken behavior, even at 9pm at night. In fact, in DC most of these bars have quieted down by 9pm at night, and are much busier at happy hour. When I go to a wine, restaurant, cocktail or other similar bar in this neighborhood (Chinatown) at 9pm, I would generally expect it to be mostly quiet, with a handful of professionals and out of town business travelers. I'm sorry the complaining PPs haven't been to an urban bar in the last 20 years to know what going out looks like these days.[/quote]

Oh, but I have been, and I've paid a sitter $15 an hour to watch my kids on the occasions I've done it.  Which is why I don't want to spend my time their listening to someone else's baby cry and whine.  At all.  If the parents are willing to leave immediately upon the slightest fussiness, sure, bring the baby.  Otherwise, no.  If I wanted to listen to crying and whining, I'd stay home with my own kids for free.[/quote]

+1 and this goes for high end fine dining as well. There is a reason those places often don't have high chairs or kids menus. [/quote]
