Mum screaming F you at another car outside nursery

Or kids of any age who are in a harness rather than an infant carrier that can be taken in and out. I can only do the harness on either of our seats by standing at the open door, not from the front seat even when forward facing.

I couldn’t get worked up about this. She was probably stressed and just shouted without thinking.

kids are always “at risk” of hearing shouting or swearing out in public. It’s highly unlikely to cause any harm.

Rough will always be rough.

Yeah it sounds like the shouty mum has some issues around her emotions and behaviour. How embarrassing.

Have you considered writing to the lead singer of Echo and the Bunnymen?

Not possible with rear facing seats. And rear facing seats are best for safety.

If a man pulled up to tell a woman how to put her children in the car and she told him to fuck off, we'd all be cheering her on.

The woman who swore is not the one in the wrong here.

Kindly, you need to get a grip. Someone swore. That's it. It's got nothing to do with you and nothing to do with the nursery.

Maybe she's had the worst day ever. Her child probably licked the loo brush, threw milk on the floor, pulled the dogs hair, refused to anything remotely compliant. Husband useless, she's running seriously late and then someone comes along by a nursery and gives her stick for putting her child in.

To be honest I'd have done the same and I don't swear.

Why? It has nothing to do with them! YABU.

Wait until your child starts school! You'll be emailing non stop!!

I'm not sure why drivers having a bad day think its ok to unleash their anger on others

Please complain to the nursery ! They will be utterly thrilled and grateful for this information!

When I had young twins, I just put both seats in the back of the car then got into the front and leaned over the back and positioned and secured them in.

I lived on a main busy road and saw people have close calls which made me think, extra work for me is better than risking mine or my child's life especially when people have more distractions than ever.

Some people's lack of awareness, scares me. I was coming round a bend and a woman was crouched down cleaning her car wheels in the road, this was a 40mph road and thought if got cramp, her head would be a watermelon under my car.

Sounds like the mum was stressed and didn't behave perfectly in that moment, we've all been there.
Maybe she'd had a bad day and is beating herself up about losing her cool already, are you really going to make things even worse for her by complaining?
Didn't behave perfectly?
This is road rage. If it had been a man would you be so forgiving. It's appalling behaviour

Oh get a grip

Grow up. It's a word.

Is it the nicest word? No. But it's a word. It's not illegal.

I hope you're the pinnacle of excellent etiquette and never ever have a bad day.

I've never sworn at an adult in the street infront of my kids

My dd2 was a late talker and had some interesting pronunciations of words. I remember the shocked look of a person at the next table in a restaurant when she said 'shut up' a few times followed by 'fuck you' (she was asking for ketchup, followed by thank you but pronounced them perfectly as shut up and fuck you 😅)

Aw you've reminded me of the phase my eldest had where just about everything sounded like "fuck". The fox pocket on a particular top was a "fucken fuckit" and more than once the reminder "and what do you say?" was met with "FUCK YOU MUMMY!" cheerfully roared across the playground in thanks.

Actually, I think you should launch a formal complaint with the nursery.

The staff work long days, they could probably do with a laugh.

All the mums in my baby group swear in front of their babies. I'm the only one that doesn't and it makes me wince. Different folks different strokes!

I know a couple who taught their two-year-old daughter every dirty word you can imagine and to give people the finger on cue.
And they thought it was clever and funny.
Nobody laughed in return, but they found it hysterical.

Good luck with that op 🤣
