to think you have to be a bit dim to take someone else's pushchair home from nursery

[MaPrentice]

went to pick ds up from nursery today - pushchair not in buggy park. looks like some other bastard parent took it. how hard can it be to take your own pushchair home? and no there wasn't another one the same there, not mistaken identity.

yes some others of the same make but different colours and models.

really, how can people be so dim? I couldn't take one of the others because of course didn't know which would be left at the end of the day. grrr. they'd better bloody bring it back tomorrow.

I think the person must be suffering severe sleep deprevation. Ie. heavily teething baby and long day at work, maybe they are pregnant as well.

I hope you get your buggy back tomorrow.

This happened to me when dd was at nursery, I thought it was really weird the person hadn't noticed, I had buggy books etc attached to the buggy. Turned out dad had picked up his dd and had no idea what buggy looked like "just that it was pink". Although nursery staff rang all the earlier pick ups than me to find culprit and he brought it back. Mind you I was walking and couldn't have carried her all the way home (she wasn't walking yet!).

Oh dear. I had someone take their kid home in DD's snowboots once and the ones left behind were too small for DD. Was not impressed, I had to carry her back through the snow and she was 6 at the time.

oh yes mine had a nice fleecy liner in it too, none of the ones left had that. one had a toothbrush in the basket - didn't fancy that myself.

last time someone had ds's fleece - took them a week to bring it back.

Sleep-deprivation / clueless DH I reckon.

I took the wrong child halfway home once from pre-school. But in fairness she was my niece and my sister had my son safely strapped into a neon-pink pushchair headed in the opposite direction

Hope it gets sorted.

Doh! My DP has brought DD home in wrong coat on more than one occasion - not sure how as they have pegs with their names/photos on them to hang their coats up. Hope you are reunited soon with your buggy!

ok I am going to lurk at the door tomorrow and eye up all pregnant, sleep deprived clueless DHs with teething children, pounce on them and hope to wrest back my pushchair. but I will be nice as I do it.

My ds1 came home from school in a blazer that belonged to a boy quite literally half his size .....he was stuck in the bloody thing and me and dh had to peel it off him - he 'didnt notice'......the much smaller boy came round later with his mum wearing sons blazer that was dripping off him and the only reason hed realised was the bus driver would not let him on the bus as he was trying to use ds's bus pass too

maybe you're pushchair was nicer

well my pushchair was back this morning - folded up but without the hood clips being released first so the hood was all wonky, not broken fortunately.

no note, no apology for inconveniencing me.

Well, um, I nearly wheeled off with the wrong push chair with the baby inside. I think I had regressed a couple of years to when I had the very same buggy instead of a nice double one.
