Cover Causes Controversy

What about a no (outside) food/drink policy? It works well for non-babies. Seriously though, I think moms should lighten up. If you (as an adult) don't eat everywhere, then neither should a baby. Besides, some believe that it isn't proper to eat anywhere other than in proper dining places.

When I was a baby, my mother was asked to feed me outside of the restaurant because she brought in outside food. She was a tad upset, but she didn't speak with management or anything like that.

Hi...you're a grown woman, and if you don't eat you might get cranky (more then ususal), but you don't scream and cry (well, maybe you do, I don't know). Babies do. They're not adults for a reason (even if they may be taller then you). Babies don't care about proper, and they don't care where you are. They just know they're hungry, and are going to scream until that is fixed. A newborn can eat every 1-2 hours, and life doesn't stop because you have a baby.

No, it's more like people today are more likely to get upset AND do something about that situation if they aren't allowed to do something. My mother was upset because she wasn't allowed to bring baby food into a restaurant, but she promptly took me out and fed me elsewhere. We didn't go back to that place until I was old enough to eat "grown up" food. Maybe people back in the 80s were less sensitive.
