to be furious that DP and DS got driven out of a baby changing room by a group of rude obnoxious women?

[bewilderbeast]

Just spoken to DP he had taken DH into town for the day to buy me a birthday present and let me get on with the DIY at home in peace. He took DS into the boots baby changing room (note baby changing room not mother and baby room). There was a queue for the three changing mats. Apparently they were all having a laugh and chat when he walked in but went silent as soon as they saw him and kept staring unkindly at him and ds. Eventually he said "come on ds we're obviously not welcome here" and left to take ds somewhere else to change him. I am fking furious. why can't people accept that its nice that fathers take an active roll in their kids lives rather than being suspicious of their motives. I am so angry right now. Do we need dad and baby changing rooms and mother and baby changing rooms? Why can't we all just get on and accept other people. It was their first trip out together alone and I am so sad for him that he was made to feel like this and his day was spoilt by these nasty bit*hes. sorry its a bit of a long rant

Now I can see that raising a few eyebrows Pan!

Yes, it is harder for poor dh now that our two are out of nappies. Taking them into the gents for a wee just isn't the same.

Oh Aitch I was only being silly, as if I would mean it!

and, juuust incase anyone queries..I was kidding too...........no,really.

is this still being discussed?

right, I'm off to get my mother to sort this out

Please do TnOgu - I'm curious to see what she'd say

What, ya eejits!! You spend a glorious God-given day to talking all of this sh*te when you could be out in ya gardens with a nice cup of tea.

Well I'll sort you out.

1. Man in question - build a bridge and get over it. We women have to put up with all sorts of shoite from you men, like odd looks and whispers and insults, so toughen up ya big mard arse..one or two look at you funny and you stomp off in a huff and your wifey bores the rest of the world about it...o for feck sake!!

2. You lot. Get back to your little ones and making lots of nice cakes to go with the tea.

and TnOg......I've been reading your posts..your mammy knows everything...I'll call you tonight. Be in.

LOL!

OMG!

I'm feckin quaking in me boots now

see she speaketh sense

She is 'The Sage' of the village

oooh you clever thing!

only someone with a real Irish mammy would have been able to do that

It's very funny

I shall show it to her when she's next here for tea and brack

Of course you're being unreasonable.

A man with a child is probably a paedophile. Real fathers impregnate their wives, then piss off back to a 60hr week at the office until they retire. Haven't you read the Daily Mail recently?

I used to avoid M & B rooms as I felt intimdated by the inhabitants already in there. I used to take my Mum shopping with me in case I needed to change DD so she could protect me /help clean up the mats first as I felt quite vulnerable when she was very new and I still wasn't back to my full strength. FWIW, a lot of the M & B rooms I encountered were so manky, I preferred to change my dd in her pram and then ditch the nappy in a public bin rather than run the gauntlet of the stares.
