Am I Wrong...

I just returned from lunch at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and there was a mother there with her two children and a girlfriend. She was sitting at the table breastfeeding her baby, while drinking Margaritas. I think there is something wrong with that. Yes it takes about 12 to 24 hours for the alcohol to metabolize in the breast milk... but honestly... Why not just give the kid a Margarita drip? Maybe I'm becoming a prude in my old age and having kids but I just think this is wrong. If it had been only one Margarita it might not have made me feel this way. I might have looked at her funny but after they ordered their third drink I really wanted to call someone. Who was going to drive those children home? Man have I changed in the last four years. I can't tell you the amount of times that I got behind the wheel when I had no right doing so. I could have killed someone else's child when I think about it... But this mom is drinking with one child attached to her breast and the other sitting there eating chips. Then they are going to get in a car together and drive somewhere... It worries me... Am I wrong to feel this way???
