People just need to mind their own business..

So last night I was watching my bf play his hockey game. My son was tired and he lost his pacifier god knows where. So needless to say he was crying on part that he wanted out of his stroller and he was tired. There was no way I was letting him out of the stroller because he takes off and he will never go back in after I take him out, and if I try holding him he will throw himself on the floor and throw an even bigger tantrum. So I'm talking to one of my friends hoping that my son will cry himself to sleep because without that pacifier I'm screwed. Some lady has the nerve to come up to me and rudely say "Is he ok??" I'm just like yeah and I explain how he is tired and how he got woken up from his nap and he doesn't have his pacifier that's why he is crying. She says "well me and the other people over there are concerned about him because he has been crying for a long time" she continues to say "maybe you should take him for a walk or something?" I'm just thinking .. lady if you knew my son you would know that that isn't going to calm him down. He's a todder... he cried and throws tantrums.. I'm sorry I'm not catering to his every need and I'm just letting him cry it out. She says a few more things... most of which I can't rememeber and then storms away going back into the bleachers and bitching to all of her friends. Me and my friend (who was also a teen mom) just look at each other in amazement. So if that wasn't enough.. another older lady comes over and bends down near my son puts out her hands and says "oh do you want to come with me?" I'm like WTF?????????? My son throws himself away from her (which I found amusing) andf screams even louder. I proceed to tell her the same thing as the lady before about how he is tired. Then she says "do you care if I take him back over there with us and we try to calm him down?" I could not believe my ears! Yeah sure I'll just let a complete stranger take my kid away from me and hold him... NOT. I try to be as nice as possible and tell her no. So then she says "well you know my grandson he does this too and if you hold him really tight and rock him he calms down" It's like lady,, that's good for your grandson but that is not how my son is. So my friend tells her "well he doesn't like to be held and he doesn't like strangers and he doesn't like it when strangers talk to him" and the lady says" oh well he seemed to calm down while I was talking to him". Then she says "well we are trying to watch the game and he is distracting us why don't you guys watch over there or something" ONE: It is a hockey rink.. which is noisy.. and was drowning out his cries. TWO: If you stupid bitches wouldn't have been so damn rude to me in the first place then maybe I would have gone over there if you asked me nicely.UGH. So then she just stands there right in front of us while we are watching the game.. it's like HELLO????? I hate stupid people. And it's pretty pathetic that they go to every game to watch there 30 something year old sons play a hockey game. Mama's boys.

lol I hate it when people do that! lol they think they know your child better than you do.  

i personally think you handled the situation perfectly because i probably would've had a fit. Sometime ppl just dnt know when to keep it to themselves.

Quoting awaiting my princess...:“ i personally think you handled the situation perfectly because i probably would've had a fit. Sometime ppl just dnt know when to keep it to themselves.”

I thought it was funny because my bf took my son over to the bleachers and sat down and just let him cry right next to them.. I just laughed.

I totally dont blame you for what you did but i do have just one comment and that is that if i had a son that was in sports and 30 years old i probably would try to watch him. Anyways YOU GO GIRL!! I hate it when people try to tell you what to do with your child and they are a complete stranger!!

hahaha he flipped out when the lady reached for him...thats great! I'm just surprised they didn't get the point after that!!

*catering to his every "want" - Hopefully you take care of all his needs!  

I personally hate it when kids scream in public and I usually find some way to shush Novali so she isn't bugging people... but everyone is different, and no one has the right to tell a parent how to take care of their child.

As long as you were fairly polite to these ladies, then good job, you handled the situation like an adult.

I have a friend that is like that. If she sees a child crying and the parent not doing anything to try and comfort the child, she freaks out and wants to rush to the child's rescue.
My son was a good baby, but my daughter was a terror... and with her I learned that some children just like to throw fits. They grow out of it, but in the meantime what are you to do? Stay locked up in your house?

I will say this though, I've been on the flip-side and it does get pretty annoying when a child doesn't stop crying around you. You know your child more than anyone else, so I can't sit here and tell you "you should have taken him outside and carried him until he fell asleep"... because that might not have worked. But you should be a little considerate to those around you if it's going on for more than a few minutes.

Please don't take this personal, it's just my opinion.

lol

good jpb momma cause if it was me I probably would have said a hole lot more than your friend. I heard some pretty good ones since having the twins though. I couldnt tell you how many people ask if they are in fact twins wtf??

Well the thing is is that it is so loud in there that I could barely hear him myself and I was standing right next to him. If I would have thought I was bugging them I would have moved.. but they were so rude about it I was just like ugh forget it I didn't care at that point. I was pushing his stroller back and forth which eventually worked.. but he was just having a hard time getting over not have a pacifier and throwing a tantrum about it.

Quoting Dee*Faith&Gavin*[HBC]:“ hahaha he flipped out when the lady reached for him...thats great! I'm just surprised they didn't get the point after that!!”

I should have made a scene and said "Some strange lady is trying to take my son!" That would have been amusing.. I bet she would have marched right back up to those bleachers without saying a word.,

And I forgot to mention that I was a good 50+ feet away from them.. So I really didn't think they could hear him at all.

I would have blew!!! She was being so smart w/ you the whole time!!! How rude..You have a baby, she should know what its like around that age!! She should have moved and went somewhere else....but u handled it pretty well though.
