[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The other day I was at the NATS game, and saw this women drinking a slip of  beer... She had a 6 week old baby, and then I saw her breakfast feeding..... Why are people doing this now?    [/quote]

As someone who had their 7 week old in the PICU for days fighting to breath due to her baby picking up a virus in public, I am not so worried about a sip of beer.

People do not realize how dangerous it is to have young babies out in public like this. Sure a quick run to the grocery store with the baby in a carrier is probably going to be ok but I very much judge the parents who have their baby in a shoulder-to-shoulder crowd where people are yelling and shouting (spit and droplets) all around. To me the sip of beer is not the problem here.[/quote]
My cousin's 6 month old picked up RSV from daycare and had to be hospitalized. Should she be whipped in the public square too? She only made $2 an hour after taxes and daycare fees. Is it ok with you that she had her baby in daycare?

Quick everybody, let's find new ways to make motherhood even more burdensome, isolating and lonely!!!!!!!!!!!

I think breastfeeding moms should be whipped for eating sweets. Goes without saying formula moms should be whipped. [/quote]

Apples to oranges PP.
Daycare fulfills a need for childcare. I do not know of any parents, myself included, who would pay the incredible amount of money that daycare demands if the service were not needed for parents to work. And I am grateful that such a service does exist.
Attending a baseball game? I would not call that a need in any way. Mom and Dad should and can easily wait a few more months until baby's immune system is more robust before spending hours cheering on the Nats.[/quote]
My cousin didn't need those $2 an hour. So again I ask, is it ok with you that she had her 6 month old in daycare? Does your household *really* need that second income? Have you run the numbers, after second car, expenses from two adults working, being bumped in higher tax bracket, needing to live in a big city where two people can find steady employment, how much are you pulling an hour? Can't you downsize? Do you see how this never ends and how it is nobody else's business? Who else are we going to crap on next, single moms? How about Kate Middleton for having two of her kids too close together according to WHO guidelines? How about people who don't rear face their kids until age 4? There's literally 100 aspects you could pick somebody else's parenting apart over. Guess what? Inevitably you do something that somebody else disagrees with. Should they get to crap on you? [/quote]
