"When JD was little and not so mobile (not walking), he could have been spotted at One and One in the East Village two or three times--there, I admit it! My friends and I would sit outside and enjoy a beer while JD bounced from lap to lap or slept soundly in his stroller. That all changed once he started walking, or should I say once he started not sitting still for more than two minutes. I don&amp;#x27;t enjoy leisure cocktails with friends and JD anymore because our time is better spent at indoor playgrounds, aquariums or other kid-friendly places. Do you think it&amp;#x27;s cool to bring a baby to a bar? According to an article published on cnn.com, the question is getting mixed answers. The hipster crowd in Brooklyn, of course, doesn&amp;#x27;t want to watch their language or their drunken friends&amp;#x27; behavior all because of some baby. Parents, however, say they have every right to grab a quick drink and that babysitters, especially in NYC, are super expensive, so the kids are coming--to the bar. Eh, I agree with the adults; they shouldn&amp;#x27;t have to tame their adult behavior in an ADULT PLACE. I mean, I&amp;#x27;d be pretty ticked off if twenty-somethings invaded the local park and started smoking cigs and swearing, right? Right! I say if parents want to bring their kids to a bar, then they should be prepared for what goes on there. Drinking, making out, swearing, smoke, drunkenness--the works! There are so many places to expose your child to in Brooklyn and NYC--why a bar? Also,wouldn&amp;#x27;t you rather a little time to yourself? Do babies belong in bars? Do you buy this whole, I can&amp;#x27;t afford a sitter, so the kid comes to the bar thing? Follow JD and me on Facebook and tweet, tweet, Twitter. *** More on glamour.com: Do you ever drink alone?
