Making faces at baby

[blondieblonde]

AIBU to scowl at people walking behind me while I pram our baby around making faces and waving at her, just as I am trying to get her to sleep?

[CaptainCrunch]

Yeah.

[CreamofTartar]

People are following you around in order to make faces and wave at your baby?

[SnuffleGruntSnorter]

I feel your pain, once a lady stopped me to ask if I was walking round and round the park to get the baby's sleep. When I replied yes she proceeded to TICKLE him!

[blondieblonde]

I'm sure they're real people

[SleepyBoBo]

Not unreasonable at all. I suggest making a sign to hang on the hood declaring 'DON'T LOOK AT MY BABY', so this doesn't happen again in public places.

[puzzledbyadream]

Sorry. If a baby is looking over a parent's shoulder I tend to smile or pull a silly face at it. Clearly I am a very U person.

[ZiggyFartdust]

Strangers SMILED at your baby? You should fucking shoot them, the bastards, how dare they?


The things people on MN will whine about, its a never ending list.

[SnuffleGruntSnorter]

OP is clearly being light hearted.

Some people on here act like they've got their tampons in sideways.

[Gracey79]

This drives me mad too, or when they finally drop off a jogger with headphones in will yell morning

[SaucyJack]

My baby scowls at strangers herself.

That's ma girl!

[ShesGotLionsInHerHeart]

The utter cunts.

[FigMango1]

This is lighthearted? It's not even funny!

[passmethewineplease]

Some horrible people about these days.

Fucking smiling? Arseholes.

YABU, obviously.

[Micah]

"Pram" is a verb?

[ShesGotLionsInHerHeart]

Micah that made me so I decided it must be a typo, and she meant push. Otherwise my head would have exploded, making such a mess.

[leelu66]

Is this a stealth 'my baby is soo cute strangers love her' boast?

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

So you rather they look stone faced at your baby. .

[molyholy]

Them fucking smiling bastards. Unfortunately, they probably don't know that you are trying to get your baby to sleep. Maybe the inconsiderate twats aren't mindreaders.

[AppleSetsSail]

From MN I've learned that mothers of small babies do not want strangers to pat them on their heads or god forbid stroke their cheeks. I will now add smiling to the list.

[GastonsPomPomWrath]

People that smile are cunts. What is there to be happy about? Ever. Fuckers.

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

We're only trying to help....

[DatsunCogs]

YANBU. You need to cultivate a steely glare, like mine I am nevertheless often bothered at a critical eyes-dropping moment, but usually for directions, my baby's obviously not as cute as yours, OP

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

I pram
I will be pramming
I prammed

The last time I peeked in a lady's pram there was a dog in it. I'm still shocked now. I didn't know people did this.

[molyholy]

Was the owner trying to pram her dog to sleep though ilost. I hope you didn't smile at it.
