What I had to watch yesterday

Country Girl in the CityCountry Girl in the City
in TTC after 35

I went to a bar to watch a football game.  So my friend's pregnant wife (I don't like the woman) decides to come with him.  It is a very crowded place and there is so much bumping and people can barely move.  First of all, I don't believe that pregnant woman should be in a place like that.  I told DH that if I was pregnant that I would stop going even though it means that I won't be able to watch the game with my friends (we have watched every game there for over 10 years).  There was one seat left, right beside me.

On the way to the game, I told DH that when I get a positive I will not have one drink ever.  I explained that I understand that many people do and it is probably fine but I personally would not do that.  During the game, the bartender sent us a free pitcher of beer.  The pregnant woman was the first to pour herself a drink and then exclaim that she did not feel that she should have to deny herself just because she was pregnant.

I wanted to cry.  The one baby free place in my life was invaded.

    Oh good Lord, I'm sorry you had to go through that.  It's hard seeing a woman treat her pregnancy with such a cavalier attitude when you want nothing more than to be in her position.  Hopefully she won't be there next Sunday!

    As much as I think that pregnant women should be allowed to drink an occasional beer and watch football in a bar without being judged, I totally understand how much that situation must have sucked for you. I hate it when our "safe" zones are unexpectedly invaded by pregnant women or babies. Sorry you had to deal with that.

    If it was a normal bar then I would not have had a problem with it.  It is just that it sometimes gets so crowded that the fire marshall will shut it down.  Also, it was my beer.  The bartender sent it to DH and me with two straws.

    OK THAT is unacceptable, pregnant or not. Now I am wishing her spider veins and stretch marks.  Smile
