Don't even think about it

After a few encounters at various stores this past weekend, I feel the need to speak on behalf for Moms everywhere across the world who share in my frustrations.



1. Don’t write checks.


It happens to me every stinking time. I’m in a rush, I commit to an aisle and things look like they are moving along, until BAM! Checkbook. They of course have to show their ID, which they can’t find. When it’s all said and done, they will probably ask the cashier for one more item…that they will have to write another check for. Don’t be that person. Don’t do it! Seriously! You’ll have a pack of seething moms with babes on their hip all the while corralling an older sibling who is plotting their getaway.
Put the check away.

2. If my kid is throwing a tantrum, staring does NOT make them stop.


Your laser eyes cause more stress, not relief, so cool the lasers and get on with your business. Nothing to see here people!

3. Don’t touch my baby’s hands.


I’m so flattered that you think my baby is cute. I love that you want to say, “Hi” and coo at them. But you do realize that my baby puts his hands in his mouth, right? So that means the wedgie you just picked? Yep, now it’s in his mouth. The booger you just flicked? In the mouth again.

4. Trying to get a peek of my baby while I’m nursing is probably a no-no.


I guess I figured this would be implied, but while nursing my 9 month old, with a nursing cover, a lady at CostCo saw the cute little baby feet and came a runnin’.
Old Peeping Tom Lady: How old is your baby?!
Me: 9 months. (Smiling, not expecting the peep show to come.)
OPTL: Awww, let me see!!!!! (Pulls top of nursing cover out to get a look at my little ones face and sees boob and baby.)
Me: (Awkward laugh) Yep! He’s cute! (Referring to my boob. It’s a he, okay?)
This is just the beginning of my list my friends, just the beginning.

Lol love hahas for hoohas

Love the sign on the pram!

This is cute! I love the tantrum one! I hate when people stare

Totally relate to all those. But seriously why do I always get stuck behind the old woman with the checkbook!? Get with the times, Granny!

Lol me too. And it always happens when Peyton is in a mood...so then I end up with the tantrum...

*Sigh* such is life as mommy.

I stare! But with reassurance that it's not really as embarrassing as the mother may feel. Sometimes comment on how I know my kids will be at that stage soon too. Sometimes it takes stress off the mom, sometimes the kid becomes interested in me and stops. Kids throw fits no matter how perfect your parenting is. Other people forget that or have never had kids or beat them. So some how think it's okay to judge someone else. My neighbor was staring in my window the other day cuz my son was throwing a fit cuz he wasn't allowed to climb in the window. That's irritating.

I like when people will make me feel better about my bratty kid lol. When they say like "oh I remember those days" or "ugh ive got a 2 yr old too so I feel your pain" then I feel less embarrassed, but when it's like a snotty old bitch staring at my kid like he's a devil child or staring at me like I'm horrible for having a kid that's throwing a fit cause he's tired is when I get irritated and embarrassed!
