"You gave in to him"

... said the receptionist at dd's school to me today, because I had taken ds out of his pushchair and was carrying him because he had been crying.

So shoot me...

He is eight months FFS! I hate that kind of attitude tbh...

I SO agree with you

Tis nobody's business but your own. Did you look vacantly in her direction and say "sorry, did you say something" with a gleaming Colgate smile?

Well you can't very well leave him if he's crying can you?

Well Tatties apparently he must learn that he won't get his own way all the time...

what a load of bo**ocks.

Honestly, some people!

frumpygrumpy · 28/02/2007 20:45

he is 8 months old. he is incapable of learning anything. he can't even remember what happened at breakfast. Do take your stinkiest old tights tomorrow and leave with a note suggesting she pop them in her mouth next time.

And remember I am hormonal this evening and would normally be kinder

Fooey · 28/02/2007 20:56

Whaaaaaaaaaat????

Stupid, stupid, ignorant, nasty woman

I hope next time she is upset her husband ignores her

"sorry dear, I can't give you a hug, that would be giving in to you"

I hate listening to bawling babies in buggies. But I did get told off by a builder once for carrying my ds around the house, so I'm a soft touch too! How is baby emkana, is he gorgeous?

He's adorable!

According to my disapproving greatMIL, it is obvious that my 9-month-old dd has been brought up 'hand-to-hand' ( i.e. passed around a lot rather than left to be ignored in a sad little corner) what, you mean she smiles all the time and doesn't wear a hard-done-by expression like you do? [or rather smiles through gritted teeth - again - icon)

harpsichordcarrier · 28/02/2007 22:44

how rude and ignorant

colditz · 28/02/2007 22:44

Tell her to nob off.

chocolatebirdy · 28/02/2007 22:46

LOL fooey!

Tell 'em to get stuffed. I've done attatchment parenting with all 4 and had the 'rod for your own back' comments.
Unhappy babies need comforting, not the gestapo.
I even had social services tell me off for carrying number 4 about and, bad mummy moment, comforting her when she cried! She's now a happy 3 yo who knows that she can rely on me.

DontlookatmeImshy · 02/03/2007 22:10

Does she even have children of her own?

Feel a bit sorry forthem if so.

gegs73 · 02/03/2007 22:15

Miserable woman! She would probably have given you evils and told you off for not picking your ds up if you had left him in the pushchair instead! Just ignore her.
