Hey all...
Did you have rules about resturants and babies? Or did you just take them everywhere?
Dh and I went to a VERY pricy resturant as a treat for ourselves a couple of weekends ago. All dressed up and having cocktails. Anyway, right next to us is a party with an 8 month old whining in a high chair. Mind you, our reservations were for 8 pm and they sat after we did.
This is incredibly rude, imo, for many reasons.
First of all, most 8 month olds are done by 8 o'clock. Secondly, there are just some resturants that are not meant for babies... a $75 dollar-a-plate resturant being one of them, imo. I do think that older

I guess for me, and maybe for others, I don't get conflicted because my having one dress instead of two isn't going to result in a family without shoes having shoes. My purchase of a 3 bd home instead of four isn't going to result in a homeless person having a home.
That said, I'm kind of in the middle of the road. I don't take the stance at the far left of the bell curve that one must be frugal in all ways and tithe, but I don't take the stance at the far right of the bell curve that you can't be seen in the same dress more than once. I'd venture to say I fall left of the average however.
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

You mean, besides the whole "conspicuous consumerism" subthread.
>I have a hard time imagining that she doesn't know SOMEONE who didn't get married in a long white dress in a church!
I guess that is hard to imagine. I live in a big city. I know lots of people from different ethnic groups. I attended a Greek Orthodox wedding a few years ago.
I've also had friends who eloped. Not everyone gets married in a church building - some do it in a courthouse, outdoors, in their home, etc. etc.
Its really all about taking vows. Nothing else, really.
