Dropping DS1 off at pre-school this morning, I got shouted at by some blokes who were working on a house nearby. It was "Ohh, look at the fucking tits on that" and comments of a similar ilk. Anyway, I told them to shut the fuck up because I had 17 month old DS2 with me (who was stumbling up other people's front paths at the time and shouting "mouth")

However, is it ever so slightly wrong that when I got in the car, I felt a teensy bit flattered, because the last time I got shouted at was by a bloke in a van who told me I was a fat ginger slag.

Don't think you should swear in front of ds, it isnt a very good example - after all he will look at you not them.

I tend laugh and say "i don't think so" when these things happen (cos they happen soooo often ) .

I actually got 'leered at' by a group of 12 year old boys as I was walking ds round the village in his buggy. They said "phwoar" as I walked past pmsl. I looked up, saw how young they were and just pmsl at them. I actually walked up the road laughing, as I really couldnt believe a 12 yr old would shout that at a 32 yr old woman (though I really only look in my 20s, cos I am so tiny). I saw them the next day, and they ran away!

bless them!
