to be fed up of people s attititude towards my pram

[hayley2u]

ia m reaaly pissed of at people when walikng down the street witha baby in an awkward pram and a 5 year old, they see you but just keep walikg and make you push around them. its soo rude, plus they would not let me on the bus as it has to be folded down wtf am i expected to hand my baby to someone so i can put my pram down

is it one of those fuck off huge prams?

don't you go dissin' the Silver cross, missus...

why get an awkward pram?

Is it the new Hummer pram - I think it's called the Prammer?

What pram is it?

I had an awkward pram (a decrepit hand-me-down) but the only trouble I had was that people would always walk in front of me and then swear at me for ramming their heels but generally I probably mowed pedestrians down...

I avoided buses for the collapsing-pram reason...

why get a pram at all?

Bluestocking - lol

yes in fact, why get a baby at all? they are a bugger to get on buses. It is much more pleasant to travel without one

its not its the prammette from mamas an papas but its so annoying when you v got your shopping on it gets heavy but this little arsehole will stand there till i walk round him, when he can just fre n easy move round my param

There are alternatives to prams, MP. Buggies, slings, travel systems.

The minute my dd reached 3 months she was in the cheapo Mothercare stroller. We never had a pram - the "lie flat" pushchair suitable from birth has spent most of its life in the loft.

To the op, it is frustrating for you, I imagine, but other people also have to get on and we all get impatient at times.

Do you ever smile sweetly and say excuse me please in a pleasant manner ?

Before I had Dcs I was completely oblivious to prams/buggies/babies in general, truly

no i have my car back now thank god, n could nt carry her ound iv got bad backs from my c section so would not use a sling

Is it just one person in particular Hayley?

I found your last post a little unclear.

slings are not good for carrying shopping

or for people with bad backs

or good backs

buggies are crap because you can't talk to your baby

I'm never quite sure what a travel system is - is it like a monorail?

i always do say excuse me, and i have got a cheap pram now but i just dont get why pwople push past you, if i dont have pram and i see someone walkig down road i move out there way be an awkward sod

k, guess the sling is good enough for some.

carried DD2 in a Coorie and shopping in a rucksack.

then used a buggy.

no need for a pram.

especially not some of the prams i see around here - enormous.

I think a travel system is a kind of big pushchair with matching car seat. When the baby is tiny and still in the smallest car seat, you can attach the car seat to the top of the pushchair.

That's what I think one is anyway. We could venture back into the For Sale section where all the pram/travel system experts hang out. (are they still there? )

I found that the most dangerous looking group of hoodies would apologise and shift sharpish with a short 'excuse me' and a winning smile. I think folks are just oblivious and if they've never had to handle young children/babies/prams they wouldn't have a clue of how tricky it is.

On my Britax travel system the baby can lie flat.

no just moaning at people out there onepieceoflollipop. so what do people do if they ask you to put down your pram what do you do with your baby?

oooh I love a proper lie-flat pram

I must admit I used slings when mine were screaming i.e. a lot but I love being a proud mummy pushing a pram - even a scuzzy one

It is lovely to be able to make it all snuggly and watch your lovely baby and talk to them all the time

MMMMMMmmmmm

....x-post with your last.....I'm sorry, some people are a bit crap and are far too busy with themselves to see anyone else. Sign of the times, sadly. Manners and consideration going down loo.
