Moan about english manners
Hi
Just to get this off my chest. We recently went on holiday, and to cut a long story short, I'm really disapointed at how people with babies/ young children are treated. We had to stand on the bus from the plane to airport (with bags etc you can imagine) holding 17months old sleepy baby, no one offered a seat (there was also another couple standing with a younger baby!) , lots of men were seated etc I also recently went to a shopping centre, whilst waiting for the lift, all the people rushed in and left me and another lady with a pram to wait for it to go up and come back again (only 1 was working!) never been to this shopping centre before and wont be going back, I usually go about by car so havent been on a bus with pram or baby. But even when I leave the local shop and go in its quite common for people to watch me struggle to open the door and push the pram out etc why are we so bad mannered?????????????and its not just the younger people the older ones are just as bad

It is nicwe to moan sometimes..
Another big thing of mine is when i go to go on the bus and the spaces that are there for buggys are being taken up by old biddies shoppuing baskets!!
Grrrrrr!!
I've also had several people ask why he hasn't got a dummy and even shown me where they are on the shelf. We DON'T use dummys. I HATE them. So NO I don't appreciate being told to stick one in my son's mouth.
Old dears really wind me up too. I find them much much worse than young people. It is amazing how fast they can move themselves when there is a table free in a cafe or something yet they can't manage to hold the door or move out of your way to let you past with the buggy. I came across an old dear I had been stuck behind all the way around a shop becasue she had insisted on walking as slow as possible down the middle of the aisle so I could not go round her in the cafe and she ran , yes ran, to beat me to a table even though I had been in there first! I was mightily p'd off.
They frequently push you out of the way or take it upon themselves to move your buggy for you which really makes me want to scream. As I do try to be considerate where I stop with it.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhh I cold go on about old dears they should be shot when they reach 70. Or put in homes and not let out. Or have delegated old biddy shopping times so you knew to stay clear at those times.
And don't get me started on old biddies tutting at breast feeding. For god's sake did they just stay in the house the whole time when their babies were tiny???? Or was there more breast feeding facilites we don;t know about than there are today.
I have to stop my blood is boiling!
