That sounds like an awful idea, if you can't put up with a kid then maybe you should be the one to leave.
Yeah I'm not going to walk out of a movie or restaurant I paid for because someone else's worm is making a little shit out of themselves, don't be absurd.
Responsibility ultimately lies with the parents. They should know the deal when they have a kid - that your life isn't yours anymore, that parenting is a full-time job and if you want a break, you pay for a sitter.
My sister is just now learning this with her first son, but she's adapting well.
A lot of parents say they can't afford a sitter. To this, I reply:
"If you can afford a $10-20 movie and/or $40 - $80 meal, you can sure as hell afford a sitter."
