Babies in Bars! WTF?!?!

After many hours of the day navigating around strollers, attempting to be polite as little toddlers run and scream in the grocery store and when trying to enjoy dining out as the baby next to me cries and throws food everywhere, I finally make it to a bar for some adult baby free time. Just after I order a stiff drink and sink down onto my barstool to relax, in walks a man and woman with their baby in tow! What the hell is happening, is there no escape?!?! Just when I thought I could go to the one place where a baby isn't welcomed, all of the sudden the bartender is out from behind the bar cooing over this freakin' baby. No doubt the baby is cute, as babies go, but give me a break. Seriously. Why?!?! Shouldn't this situation be frowned upon? Did something in social etiquette change when I wasn't paying attention? Well, of course the baby proceeded to cry and wail as every drunk in the place shoved their faces in it's carrying device to goo-goo, but did theses parents leave? No. And when I scoffed about it to my friend on the next barstool I was met with evil looks from just about every person in the joint, like I was the boogie man out to snatch your child and hand it off to the gypsies. Well bring it on peeps! The way I see it is until your baby can down a dry martini as a party trick, I wouldn't mind the gypsies coming around to regulate and level the playing field.
