Mother with earplugs in on school run....

[MissEPankhurst]

I've got to ask as I can't get it out of my mind - am I being unreasonable to be having less than positive glowing thoughts about a mother I saw walking her children to school this morning as I was driving home from work: she was pushing a buggy with a toddler in, and had two school age children with her, aged about 4 and 5. She wasn't talking to any of them, and had ear plugs in from her pocket, suggesting to me she was listening to music. And to make it worse (in my opinion) they were about to cross a busy road where it would surely have been necessary to be able to hear the traffic???
There, it's off my mind, out there in the open and I hope I can stop worrying / wondering about them now...

I wear headphones to to pick up my ds but take them out at the school gates. I love chatting to my ds on the way and back from school. I wouldn't want to be cut off from him in that way.

FWIW I hate everyone who walks along the street wearing headphones. Wandering into my path because they can't hear me coming up behind them. Busy pissing about with their gadgets instead of looking where they're going when crossing the roads. The amount of near misses I see every morning is amazing.

Definitely a First World Problem.
