in not wanting to endure a kid's crying in a shop

[AnnaMosity]

I get it - she's tired, shes rubbing her eyes but LADY dont just ignore her and carry on shopping.
it was a bloody racket! take her out, cuddle her shushshushshush her - not just subject the rest of us to this cacophony

Norty OP

God mn is just so weird now.

Thats horrid MrsTP

@MrsTerryPratchett

To the person who PMed me and told be not to have any more children, I have reported your PM and don't intend to engage with you further.

We are on the case here folks. For the record we absolutely don't allow this
Thanks
MNHQ

hope they're banned Olivia!

Cheers Olivia. I've got to go and play in RL life but to everyone. For the record, almost every interaction I have had on here has been wonderful.

Lurking totally agree with you here

MrsTP what a horrible message to get. I can't comprehend why someone would think it's acceptable to do that.

Just to add my voice to the hopes that whoever said that to Mrs TP gets banned - there is a line, and that's pretty much the definition of crossing it.
I know you can dismiss it for the crap it is, but that doesn't make the sender's actions any better.

HOW'S THE BALKAN EXPRESS?

MrsTerryPratchett. I'd have given you evils if I was relaxing in a restaurant and you decided to "ignore" your child's screaming fit.
That sort of parenting is best done in the privacy of your own home, not inflicted on other diners.

YADBU, if you said you were in the cinema, or in a posh restaurant I woudl say yanbu. But it's a fecking shop. People need to shop, babies cry, scream, tantrum, and to the person who said she should have left the shop are you a complete fool? What did you want her to do leave her shopping mid aisle?

If you don't like noise in a supermarket next time bring earplugs.

Ah, I should probably have read the whole thread

I think this thread should be deleted. It started at best as a windup at worst goading and has degenerated somewhat. I think an apology is in order at the very least for MrsTP.

MrGrey - if you read the fecking thread properly you will see that the fecking parent in question her was browsing round a fecking clothes shop buying a maxi dress, not doing essential fecking shopping in a fecking supermarket!

Of course the thread does not to be deleted!

The only person who owes Mrs TP an apology is the fecking idiot who pmd her.

And Mrs TP could have included the fact that the tantrum lasted all of 10 seconds (in which case I wouldn't define it as a tantrum) in her first post.

God Mumsnet is so fecking BANAL at times.

Don't you dare delete this thread, hq.

Some people think Maxi Dresses are essential, not me though I hate the bloody things

Mintyy haz spoken MNHQ...

Maxi dresses make everyone look pregnant, I don't know why anyone other than pregnant ladies like them.

PM TP
I don't want to have to listen to kids screaming. Especially not in a restaurant. Not everyone has kids you know. The world is too child centered. Just because I have children, doesn't mean I this it is okay to subject others to their bad behaviour.

Oh minty I bow to your superior knowledge , sorry forgot it was your day to be in charge of mumsnet.

Gorakphur to Delhi. Take earplugs and don't even think about using the loo. Tickets can be purchased in Kathmandu and include a nightbus crossing from Nepal into India. Danger of pickpockets.

Bus travel in Malaysia is very swish. The buses have curtains and they play back to back Bollywood movies.

Don't do Oz Experience up the East coast of Australia unless you have a penchant for foam parties.

When catching a bus in Iceland make sure you have the correct fare because the Driver does not give change.

On Sunday's the last bus leaving the Deers Leap in Penhill, Swindon heading towards Cirencester leaves at 17:49.

You can catch the bus in Yemen but the Foreign Office are advising against all but essential travel to the country.

HTH.

Bonnie. You are The funniest on mn today.

I'm from Aus..FUCK I love foam parties! (some stereotypes are true)

Speaking of Yemen - have you seen "Salmon fishing in the Yemen"? Can't recommend it enough!

MrsTP, I'm sorry you received such a nasty pm :( you're a lovely person

Ahh yes when we used to get them in my shop I would piss the parents off by offering them a very messy chocolate lolly or one of those annoying balloons on sticks that always fall off the stick which cause the kids to then wail until the parent has retrieved the balloon and reattached it to the plstic stick...

God i love retail.
