DD (20 months) and I are stood at the bus stop waiting for bus home after work and nursery pick up. It's pretty chilly here today in the lower single digits but DD is wearing a few layers with a full snow suit over the top and her hat/mittens. DD is jabbering away quite happily when an older lady further down the queue says 'excuse me, just put the hood up on your pram to keep your little one warm'. I agree that it is rather chilly today but my DD is quite snug because she's wearing her layers/snow suit /hat etc. The lady tutted and said that what was I thinking taking her out at this time of day anyway. I mean , what am I supposed to do? Just hibernate away from 4pm each winter? Is this lady just a bit bat shit or was it generally considered more welcome to offer 'advice' to strangers in previous generations.
