Like most women, after I became a mom, I became a lot less judgmental about the things I had seen other moms do in the past. Wipe boogers off of their kids' noses with their bare hands. Smell their baby's butts in public. Whatever. I'm now quite aware that while motherhood is the most amazing thing, it's far from glamorous. But, despite my affinity and sympathy for mamas, and how hard their jobs are at times, I do think there's a line. And plopping your kid on a restaurant table and changing their diaper crosses that line. That's ... really inappropriate. A restaurant owner recently wrote in to "Dear Abby", saying that a customer of his had done just this. He called the incident "unsanitary" and "rude", and wondered if he was out of line in thinking these things. To which I (and Abby) say no. That is unsanitary and rude. Image may be NSFW.
