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

Expat! I'm wounded. Have a big silver cross and am really unchavvy. Nothing wrong with disliking prams, m'dear, but here on the eats coast we pram users are positively genteel.

expat I was going to gift you a farkaboo too... Tsk I needed one for various failing body ailments.
Still need it like my bugaboo. Ds2 is about to be a pram refused I suspect then we are lightweight buggy types.
if needing public transport I'd sling it personally

eats coast? East coast. Freudian slip - haven't had breakfast yet... And no, I don't use pram on public transport - there just isn't room. But it has always been lovely for walks, and then I can leave her in the garden asleep when we get back.

I'd have helped you. Where do you like H?

You should be able to fold the pramette one-handed (mind you I never quite managed it). Why can't you get it on the bus? I foudn it was pretty good for London buses as not too wide or hige.

Can;t help with nobby people cluttering up the pavement: as MP suggested, go for the ankles

just if a bus comes with the big post in the middle the ust watch ou or say wait for another bus makes me so mad , plus i dont like the idea of giving my baby to soe complete stranger

I think that's just the way it is. It is better than it was. The pole is there for saftey reasons. It's hard for people in wheelchairs too. I used to strategise with bus stops, going to the one at the terminus (which was possible for me to do at the time) so I was always guarenteed a space

i have been helped too starlight but more times people just watch you like a performing monkey,its ebarrasing and nervous.
one time when my ds was 3 months old i was on a bus i managed to get on as a friend was with me. it was very full and ds was sobbing people were tutting at me so i had to pick him up. i was standing there with tiny baby getting thrown everywhere which is quite dangerous did anyone move for me did they fuk
monkey our terminus is about 20 minutes away if i go there i might as just keep on walking.

I have a Silver Cross. I'm more emo than anything else. Can I come play please?

I use a smaller stroller for days where buses may be necessary. Although I have been known to take the Silver Cross apart.

expat I think you must live in the same town as me! There is a certain breed of (young) mums from a certain area of town that favour 'big fuck off' prams. The even have their own wee section in the local pram shop!

Going back to the start of this thread when OP talked about having to push her pram around people who don't get out of her way......

OP, some people always end up walking around people who expect to barge on through. Prams don't really come into it. Stand your ground. If they look like they think you're going to walk round them, stand still. Then they have to walk around you. Haha.

Then when you're getting on the bus you just HAVE to demand help. Pass someone the baby. They won't make off with him. Pass someone else the shopping. They will help. They just don't realise until you make them.

I was pushing my 3 wheeler buggy into a lift the other day and as I was just moving forward, a group of 3 woman and a young teenager stepped over the front wheel bit to get past me instead of walking around me.

My mother had to hold me back I tell ya.
