Mothers can have a drink too!

I am a bartender at a bar that is both a restaurant and a less respectable place at night. Parents (mothers and fathers) frequently come in with their babies after a long stroll through the park and have a beer. If the baby gets unruly they leave. I see no problem with this. It is certainly one thing if the parents are getting drunk or if the children are being neglected, but I think a parent enjoying the day with her child should also be able to have a glass of wine! The puritanical attitude in this country draws black and white lines everywhere that there shouldn't be. I don't think anyone in France, or Spain, or Ireland, or even Canada looks down their nose at a mother having a glass of wine at a bar with a baby's stroller at her feet! If we want to be responsible parents we have to be reasonable parents first!
