Texas Roadhouse apologizes for asking breastfeeding mother to cover up

A Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Louisville, Ky., has apologized to a mother who was asked by a manager to cover up while she was breastfeeding her seven-week-old daughter.

Sadie Durbin began nursing her infant daughter while she was dining at the American chain restaurant with her family, she wrote in a now-viral Facebook post, when a manager came over and told her to cover up.

“David Mitchell, a manager at the Texas Roadhouse on Shelbyville Road, brought me a napkin and tried lying it over my 7 week old nursing infant's face as he explained that he had another patron complain and that he really needed me to cover up,” Durbin wrote.

“I politely explained to him it is against the law for him to ask me to cover up and that I was well within my rights to feed my baby,” she continued.

My daughter-in-law nursed my grand-daughter seemingly ALL the time. But, she was always able to do it quickly, and easily.. in our home or in any restaurant, without me or anyone seeing anything... It was easy, natural, and never a distraction to anyone.

It’s really not that hard.

I prefer not to see men scratch their privates in public but does that stop them...

Perhaps when men start dropping their drawers in the restaurant to give you a better of view of that scratch while you are eating, you will finally understand the slippery slope you are advocating for.

If she can flop out her breast, can the guy at the next table flop out his penis? Same thing. Privates parts are supposed to be private.

If that’s what she truly believed, then she should have cut off her breasts after her childbearing years.

What are you talking about? She is exposing a secondary sexual characteristic. Is it ok if I let it all hang out in public? Is that ok with you?

It’s called indecent exposure and is against the law.

Its a natural and very necessary process of life, and is to be encouraged in every way.

Those insensed should be desensitized by severing their sensory organ at the shoulders.

Women adjust themselves in public as much as men - adjusting their bra strap and boobs, pulling down their skirts, walking funny when their thong gets wonky, crossing and uncrossing their knees when they have a itch up there... geesh...

Lol, taking a crap is a natural and very necessary process in life, but there is an appropriate time and place to do it. These aren’t war refugees displaced from their homes; if Momma can’t organize her life and her child’s feeding schedule around an hour and a half at a restaurant, she’s just a silly attention whore.

Give me break, in our modern civilized society there are things called breast pumps and bottles and refrigerators that allow a mother to feed her baby healthy breast milk in public while being respectful of the sensibilities of others.

I’m old——who the hell wants to go out to dinner with an infant anyway?

I’d rather stay home.

>> “why can it not require a breastfeeding mother to drape while she nurses?” <<

Because its stupid.

Do you hold a napkin in front of your gaping maw as you shovel grub down that disgusting hole?

“Taking a crap” is an apt description of your kind of posting here.

BTW, anything I’d be using for a drape would be far more clean and sanitary than any surface in a public lav. I can heartily sympathise with any mom not wanting to take a baby in there to nurse.
