to wonder about this woman...

[biddysmama]

was a woman in asda with a small (maybe 4 months ish) baby, in a pram.. he was crying, she leaned into the pram said "why dont you justshut the fuck up" then turned to her friend and said "he never stops fucking crying"

not only is that not ok (in my book) but her friend didnt look shocked!

What are you on about?

Maybe I should just print off some of these posts and use it instead of Andrex. I mean, if somebody can call me a cunt...

Do I have the right to disapprove of cheap loo roll?

Fio, I've been skint.
I'd rather wipe me arse on newspaper (the Daily Mail springs to mind) than have my fingers going through...

Really, Fio? The fingers going through is the worst thing about cheap loo roll.

I use cheap loo - fingers have neer gone through here either.

anyhow.........I've just had a torrent of swear words thrown at me by DS1.......they weren't all ones that I use either (I have rather a limited range of them), it wasn't pleasant........but I'll live

I guess Ellie and I are a bit too enthusiastic with our wiping.

Are you sure Tocc? I can call SS on your child...

oh I am quite positive...... many of them I definitley don't use, ever!

You are hardly a four month old child are you toccatanfudge.

well DS2 is extremely enthusiastic with his wiping........and he's never put his finger through either

and jcl - I may as well be the ability I seem to have to be able to deal with my oldest

I think that's called passive aggresssion toccatanfudge.

no it's just called being a shit parent

I'm pretty sure that isn't true toccatanfudge.

Skidoodly, Alice Miller died today. Perhaps you should read some of her work and then think about whether I am a cunt

Just to balance out the ASDA snobbery, when I went their today I had a lovely conversation with a random mum about when to start babies on follow on milk as I asked her a question when I saw her buying it. Two old ladies also cooed over DD AND I got a good deal on some weaning bits as they have a baby event on. All vey civilised.

I've heard quite a bit of swearing in my (old) local Waitrose though, although admittedly that was on the Holloway Road so presumably their chav sensors had overloaded and given up.

there not their

Hang on! Where does it say that the woman shouted at the babe? Some posters are making it up as they go along, seemingly anxious to paint the worst possible picture.

The OP said, " she leaned into the pram said "why dont you justshut the fuck up" ". No shouting involved.

I know what it's like to have a screamer. It's soul destroying, leaving the mother a walking zombie. Sometimes it's better to snap "Shut the fuck up" than to just snap.

I think some people are overreacting...everyone gets stressed and pushed by there kids.

I bet most parents have cursed at there kids if they can bear to be honest about it.

It doesn't make this woman a bad mum and to suggest that she does worse to her child is outragous, very judgemental and you have no proof just from that one incident. The poor women probably needs someone to turn to.

I find Alouise really really frightening. I hope she doesn't live near me.
no swearing at a baby is not nice. not great. no one is condoning it.
But warrants a ss referal -although she didn't actually ring alouise threatened to call ss.

I find this an over reaction.

I hope alouise never fails or does anything bad in her parenting life.

What a charming bunch of mothers (?) you all sound !
