To not move on the train?

[TheCatsMeow]

I was on a very busy packed train with my friend and DS. DS was in a sling, we had the buggy and I was feeding him. We were standing by the doors (no one offered us seats!) trying to feed a screaming baby, penned in by others standing. There was no where we could go.

People tried to push past us to get out the doors and nearly sent DS flying. I firmly asked if they could use one of the other doors and I literally couldn't go anywhere. Cue mutterings and dirty looks!

We couldn't collapse the pram there wasn't room to do and as no one had offered a seat we couldn't move anywhere! WIBU to ask them to use another door?

I think we need a drawing of said train carriage.

Yeah, sensible people (which surprises me). Which you are not.

The train doesn't leave before you can get to another door I've done it myself before. Unless you're walking like a stoned tortoise you can get to the other door.

For someone who has a disability you are very ignorant!

What specific type of person is that OP?

Oh, OP, you're a little liar. And a massive troll. And probably a team of trolls, given you've been posting non-stop since 12.30, thus proving your baby is imaginary, as is your story.

Go on now, fuck the fuck back to whichever twatty site you came from.

Its really hard but I am finding it hard myself not to react with annoyance towards the OP and just how selfish she's being.

I don't even think it's being PFB it's just selfish-itis. More to do with her rather than the baby I think.

Jassy if they're difficult with me I will speak to them, like about the doors, but I don't enjoy it

P.S. your sling is shit if someone can send baby flying while he's in it. He should be secure.

OP if this thread confirms just what selfish commuters we are then bugger off to Netmums and get short thrift there too

I usually AM by the doors OP. The style of train we get on means I can only get my buggy in the wheelchair space as it wont fit through the aisles.

Seriously though, what kind of super duper tank have you got that requires loads of room to fold it, completely blocks a train door so people cant climb over it and cant be folded by anyone apart from you

and yes, I also have a hidden disability as I have already mentioned myself. One of the hallmarks of SPD is that while you may not appear to be in pain at any given time, you will almost certainely be later on in that evening. And there aint anything as revolting as the spd 'clunk' for those in the know.

It isnt just you in the world OP, and it wasnt just you on that train either.

Not even funny now OP.
Why are you ignoring DonaduMaurier, for example, who is telling you that she would be unable to simply move to another door in time (because of her own hidden disability)? And all the other audacious women who dare to commute home to their children?
You're quite simply wrong, and deluded or taking the piss.

PS people don't get wound up by the OP's sense of entitlement made up story

Specific meaning NORMAL, right?

There's still time for me to get to another door though, and if there isn't then the next stop is literally 5 minutes out the way do not a big deal. The train I was on had regular stops.

Oh yes, no big deal? No big deal for the person who is in pain and struggles to walk anyway, to miss their stop as it's only an extra 5 minutes.
Wht didn't you get off?
No big deal right?

What's with the MN NM thing?

No one cares that making me move a buggy with a screaming baby I was trying to feed was putting me out do they?

You're contradicting yourself.

I had baby in a sling, friend had buggy. I've said that before

So which was it? Baby in sling, clumsy friend refusing to move pram or baby being bottle fed in pram?

lilac beginning to wonder re OP too, what with that and evil stepmum MN is becoming a veritable playground for fairy tales with mythical creatures.

That's your only question?

OP really you can't be that dim not to notice (actually it's not SO bad) the occasional friction between us and NM?! Ps we love them really!

It's plausible for OP to be posting all day, but given her behaviour and refusal to answer certain questions, I doubt all is as it seems.

Friend had buggy but obviously we'd both have to move and he'd probably have jumped out the way leaving me to manoeuvre the buggy as he tipped it over earlier because swivel wheels confused him

I need to hide this thread-I can't stop reading. It's bizarre.

There's still time for me to get to another door though, and if there isn't then the next stop is literally 5 minutes out the way do not a big deal

Five minutes by train is usually quite a walk. Were the trains very frequent on this route?

Jassy if they're difficult with me I will speak to them, like about the doors, but I don't enjoy it

None of us do. We do it anyway because of that decency thing.

Any update on what brand of buggy and sling? I'd like to warn friends against buying either.

Super I've seen it mentioned but what is it and why? They're both just forums?

Ds uses a special needs buggy, as such I can't just fold it as he needs to stay in it it is basically his wheelchair. Before now we had had to stand in the doorway with it, but I stay to one side and if needed I lift the buggy off at stations to let people off. As such people are always really helpful because I don't think the world revolves around us

It is a pain in the backside at times having to use public transport but a bit of forward planning and consideration for others makes it a lot easier, and makes others more likely to help you.
