What not to do in public.
Ok, so I have a mini-rant....this one goes out to my friend Jeana as well, who was just as pissed by it.
It's Monday at lunchtime, and my friend Jeana and I are enjoying a wonderful Tex-Mex feast at my absolute favorite restaraunt, Chuy's. I'm two nachos in, and Jeana has just taken a bite of her quesadillas when she leans over and says, "Is that woman breast-feeding at her table?" So of course I say, "Huh?" (I was lost in thought and assumed we were still talking about the weird man at the next table who looked like that guy in the Six Flags commercials--we were commenting on the fact that he spoke very loudly and made too many facial expressions). Anyway, I glance over, and there is this woman, boob whipped out for all to see, and letting Junior go to town. No blanket, no modesty, nothing. Jeana got so grossed out she moved to the other side of the table so she didn't have to see it.
Seriously?!!! When did it become okay to breast-feed in public? Go to your car, a bathroom, anywhere but at a table in the middle of a busy restaurant!! I didn't need to see that. I couldn't care less if the kid is hungry--no need to ruin my appetite while feeding his!!! Gross.

I have to admit that this doesnt bother me. I guess I would have appreciated a blanket, but I dont feel it's fair to make a woman drag all her stuff, her kid and her boob out to the car. Just my opinion.

Sorry, Kirsten...I know we're family and everything, but I have to side with Amanda on this one. It's just gross. Take it to the bathroom, or do it before you go to the restaurant. Plus, there's this whole double standard going on...I mean, last time I checked, most restaurants don't like me to expose myself at the table.
