So a baby crawls into a bar...

I'm going to have to agree with Jill on this one. A large, outdoor bar in a family-friendly neighborhood? Sorry childfree people -- and I am one of you -- kids will be there. You can't expect every place adults gather -- or even most places adults gather -- to be blissfully kid-free when a lot of those adults have kids. This too:

"But parents? You also need to stop acting like entitled dicks. I know every time parenting comes up on this website we get the two camps of “CHILDREN ARE ANNOYING AND I WANT ADULTS-ONLY SPACES” and “PARENTS ARE ALWAYS DOING THEIR BEST AT ALL TIMES AND CHILDREN ARE PART OF SOCIETY AND REQUESTING THAT ANY SPACE ANYWHERE EVER BE FREE OF CHILDREN IS BIGOTED,” and frankly I think both of those camps are ridiculous. But, look, parents are people too. And just like some people suck, some parents suck. If you’re going to take your kid to a bar, go for it! Good on you especially for choosing a family-friendly bar where your stroller will fit and where blaring music won’t damage your child’s ears."

I usually avoid parenting discussions on feminist blogs. Ultimately all they do is reinforce the pitting of mothers against women who don't have children. The "kids in bars" discussion is one that has come up a handful of times in the past few years. I think a cohesive definition of "bar" is warranted. Big, outdoor, family-friendly places that also serve drinks? You won't get too much argument here. The corner dive at 3 a.m.? Um, I'm going to risk sounding like a concern-trolling non-parent and ask, "What the hell are you doing in there with a kid?" I didn't know this was a "thing."
