Who knew?

Seems lots of people are having a LOT of trouble with the Park Slope, Brooklyn mom who saw no problem with changing a diaper in the middle of a crowded NYC cafe:

That is so gross and disgusting!!!!

Yuck, that's just gross. I don't want to have to see or smell a dirty baby diaper while I'm in a restaurant! (I don't want to see/smell it ANYTIME, but especially not a restaurant!)

People...just....don't....think!!!!!

Whoa. Love your comment bonsai. I agree with another comment or two- if hands could be washed in the restroom, why couldn't the diaper be changed in there as well? And the whole tone was definitely pretty smug. Geez.

OMG! Changing diapers in the middle of a cafe!?

Some people just can't get a clue...

I can't believe some of those responses ... "what else were they to do?" etc. Makes me see red.

Thanks, EmeraldWeds!

These Entitlemoms want it both ways: they'd like to breastfeed in restaurants (which I have no problem with if they're DISCREET) because "their kid shouldn't have to eat in a bathroom".

OK...fine.

I DON'T WANT TO EAT IN YOUR KID'S BATHROOM, either. Don't change diapers in the middle of a dining establishment.

The argument that the bathroom was "out of order" was completely specious. There wasn't a *thing* about the diaper change which required running water (witness its completion, in poor taste, in the dining room proper).

Location, location, location!

Good response, Elsie!

Oh my goodness. I am a parent and would never dream of doing that to others around me. How embarassing! That's just like letting your kid scream and scream at a resturant or at the grocery store. My kids have never done that by my brother as soon as his kids start in, he will leave. Who wants to go to a cafe' and see some baby's rear end.

Just wrong. Hard to believe some posters didn't get why it was illegal - didn't even get the sanitary issue. I don't think that my opposition to being exposed to the stink of some kid's [censored] while I'm dining out makes me "uptight".
