I never judge anyone cos I think that's just wrong but there's a mum in the baby groups I go to about four . She's got a toddler and a newborn her mother comes to help as well but it always seems she's never with her toddler just her baby and today she was with the other young babies mums bit of the group and her toddler climb on a chair t
So he can see his mum then run towards her but in sec she ushered her mum over to get him . I think that's really bad I would never do that . What do you all think ? Am I bang on or just being a bitch

Agree with the poster who said that toddlers are much more demanding of attention than babies. My second baby was positively neglected compared with my first. I went to toddler groups alone and had to leave baby on the floor whilst I paid attention to my 2 year old constantly. Would have loved my mum there to have a breather for an hour a week and maybe even a chat with another adult. Toddlers are also incredibly wearing when up several times a night with a new born! You are being highly judgemental.

Dyslexia does not explain all the issues with your writing.

Or your soul.

I live in a small town where everyone knows each other that's why I choose to either stay in or go to the next town to get away from them

Dyslexia ...oh BINGO Grin

CatThiefKeith · 30/05/2014 21:21

Are you very young op? Is the 18 in you nn significant?

And do you only have the one child ATM?

mindthegap79 · 30/05/2014 21:21

You're very strange OP.

Also I'm so tempted to whip out an APP writing assessment grid and start levelling the writing in your posts... But hey, I'm not one to judge.

You seem judgy and nasty. I hope you get to experience people looking down their nose at you.

IsChippyMintonExDirectory · 30/05/2014 21:22

the mum is about 4? I'm not surprised her mum comes with her

Oh my days gordy my budweiser cheateau neuf de pap just shot out my nose

TheNewSchmoo · 30/05/2014 21:22

Ah that old chestnut. Can't spell = Dyslexia. How insulting!

potatofactory · 30/05/2014 21:22

And this is why I would never live in a village.

The above.

You have no idea - she had her mum there!

I doubt you do earn more than the average Mumsnetter OP.

PleaseJustShootMeNow · 30/05/2014 21:23

How much do you earn in a week OP? I wouldn't normally ask, but since you brought it up ...

Kitty18 · 30/05/2014 21:23

And it hurts so much that am getting the piss taken out of me just because said something no one liked let me tell you all what it's doing to me am in tears because at school that's what they used to do so am not the only bitch on here

Boasting about the money you earn is crass, shit, and utterly unreasonable. You should be ashamed of this.

slithytove · 30/05/2014 21:24

Maybe you are a bad mum for being more interested nosey in what other mums are doing at playgroup than your own child?

EatDessertFirst · 30/05/2014 21:24

Well, you did ask!!

FidelineandFumblin · 30/05/2014 21:24

I see where you are coming from Cat but being 18 still wouldn't be a defence for being an arse.

OP if you do see a mum who genuinely seems to be struggling a little, the human thing to feel is concern not judgement.

(I hope his isn't real)

IsChippyMintonExDirectory · 30/05/2014 21:24

FFS OP people don't just give their newborns attention "where you're from" this is a pretty universal concept. Unless I'm missing something and any second born children just get carried about in the mums handbag so she can put all her attention on her eldest? Don't newborns deserve as much attention OP? Just cos they can't ask for it doesn't make it invalid.

LoveBomber · 30/05/2014 21:24

The whole point of toddler groups are to get a break from clingy toddlers, aren't they?

Yeah right...you make less sense every time you post.

Dyslexia is no reason not to at least attempt to chuck a bit of punctuation into your judgey, smug little rants.
