people obviously know my son more than me!!!!

i hate hate hate it when we are out and someone says oh hes hungry!!! he never goes hungry!

we were in clintons and the woman at the till was smiling at him and he wouldn't smile back so she said hes hungry. ummmm no hes not he just dont perform on demand and if he was hungry I would know trust me!!!!!

really get on my wick!

lol i had the same in asda, unfortunatly she was having a strop and all the old ladies looked at me with discust and said she must be hungry...no shes just tired.grrrrrrrrrrrrr really makes you feel great lol

its a fall back so that she doesn't look stupid or it seems he doesn't like her.

Alot of people do this? i think often its just said without real though..


yesterday for example, my three year ol neice who was a very tried and grumpy girley threw an almighty strop in the middle of the cafe, and refused to sit on her own seat.

some woman tutted at me and said ' these young mums just give in, thats why they always end up like THAT'

no, she was tired, and under the weather, and just really wanted a cuddle with her aunty fern. How dare she?

had she been just stroppy, and throwing a strop over somthing really silly, then yes. I would have delt with it, but she just wanted a cuddle.. some kid had just pushed her over in the park and being unwell she was a little delicate! lol


huff. lol!

People are always telling my sister that her daughter is hungry/tired/needs a nappy change, it's really irritating to even just observe! You can either keep quiet and let them be think-they-know-it-alls, or what I would do, and infact did once to my uncle (a bit too close too home, probably wasn't the best idea) say 'No, I don't feel comfortable holding her head because she has been able to hold her own since she was born' or the relevant response, lol, he had told me about 5 times to put my hand on the back of her head, being all 'I've had 4 children, I have experience with this, she's only a month old, you should hold her head, support her head, you have to do it to all children, I had 4 remember?'... Riles me up just thinking about it!!

But you know best xxx

i just dont get why people have to comment!
I am thirty years old next year and not that age matters when you are a mum but to me when they say that it makes me think they think i am stupid and too young?
I dunno!

I still get that now and he's 2! We also have the added bonus of "should he be eating that" for anything like asparagus, or chilli, or anything that basically isn't a chicken nugget, and "Ohhh bet he has a temper with that hair" He has red hair, and no he does,nt have a temper (yet) he's very sweet natured ty.

tell them all to bog off, i normally do. I did get yelled at in Barcelona 2 weeks ago by this random spanish idiot because I had my 3 yr old in reigns. He was really offended that I had 'tied' up my child..... obviously hes never been round a 3 yr old!!!!!!

That's the one that gets me. Mine used to both sit in the shopping trolley, with a red pepper each. Love them and eat them like apples. Without fail, at least one, often many people would stop and say, do you relaise what your daughters ahve got, can't be good for them, what are you doing to them. More than once I ahve been asked if they wouldn't be better of with chocolate buttons. NO THE WOULD NOT!!! They like pepper and it is good for them.

People do comment because they like to make polite conversation That's probably all it was.

With regards to kids throwing tantrums, the best thing (I found) to do is ignore them and let them get on with it. When you pick them up and give them attention they are getting what they want. I used to let people frown and comment at my daughter if she had a tantrum, it's usually those who don't have kids or who haven't been around kids who comment!

I wouldn't let it get on your nerves really. If we all minded our own business all the time then there would never be any polite conversation going on anywhere would there?!
