Saw this mom pushing her baby (like 2 months old) in the stroller. He was crying and she acted like she didn't give a damn. He cried for so long! I was literally about to say something to her like "do something!" poor baby!! she was slowly just walking around and occasionally telling him to be quiet. Wtf.

I absolutely HATE parents who do this. It breaks my heart to pieces :(:(

*edit* obviously babies cry. But
Damn! Pick up your baby if he's crying hysterically. Don't just stare at him or say be quiet like he's know wtf your saying.

And I did mind my own business. I didn't say anything to her. I wanted to though! Idc if don't know what to do. Pick the baby up and TRY. She was just walking aroun like nothing was going on. Babies cry for a reason!!! I can't say that enough.

Be a mother and take care if your babies.

A 2 month old should not be crying like that.

My dd would do that and absolutely nothing I did would calm her. Poor thing had tumors and I didn't know yet. :(

 Maybe he had colic and the poor mom was just trying to get him to calm

I am no where near a perfect mother. I'm sorry if I come off that way. But I do believe babies cry for a reason.


Quoting CheesyKitty:

I bet I look like I don't give a damn either after a couple nights of no sleep.



But whatever you are a prefect mother, who had a colicky baby but still thinks babies cry "for a reason".




Quoting Keeely07:

I was in the veggie area. I wasn't stalking. And I'm judging Bc she clearly looked like she didn't give a damn.






Quoting CheesyKitty:

If you were aisles away, how did you know how fast she was walking or that she was only occasionally talking to him.

What I'm saying is we all were/are Mommas and hate being judged, so why so quick to judge?




Quoting Keeely07:

Who said ANYTHING about stalking! I could HEAR him cryin from isles away!!






Quoting CheesyKitty:

Um colic, hunger, hates car seats, over tired?





Sometimes there is nothing she CAN do. What if she bfs but doesn't want to in public, what it it wasn't her baby? Maybe her friends kid and she has no clue?





I say mind your own. What is up with CMers stalking people through stores?

We've all seen these mothers. 

The worst I've ever seen was waiting in line at the Haunted Mansion at Disney world. This woman's kid was TERRIFIED. I'm not talking worried, looking anxious, "I'm not sure if I want to do this..." kind of scared.  He was SCREAMING "Pleeeeease don't make me! Noooooo!" on and on and on. Having HYSTERICS. Everyone was stunned, and the mother said, "Oh, mind your own business!" (even though no one said anything, but our faces must have been conveying some messages).

Honestly I've ignored my son's cries occasionally. Not at that age, but still. If we were out, and I knew it wasn't something I could fix until we got home (Tired, etc) then I'd try to hurry as much as I could to get him home as soon as possible. If I had held him the whole time, I wouldn't get the groceries and it would take even LONGER to get home and put him to bed. Sometimes it's actually the lesser evil. I found it really offensive when people made comments like that because generally I would talk and sing to him the whole time, and he was NOT ignored. Not saying that's what happens, but it's not always what it seems.

Quoting mommyajay:

I hate that!! Poor baby it's so sad. Usually I'll comment in it like oh that poor baby has been cryin so long his mommy is ignoring him or your mommy is ignoring you poor baby!
