Good thread

I call them the 'food police' otherwise known as my mum and sister who insist I am starving my LO because she isn't on solids. I've had the ' you can't have any as your mean mummy won't let you' arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

trees growing through pavements so far I have to go in the road.

People phoning at LO's bedtime knowing full well it is bedtime.

The comment ' that baby's got you trained' when I pick her up if she is crying - wtf?

People who don't need lifts using them too!

I could go on,....

Sorry Nicanbump - I'm one of those mommies who goes on about what size their baby is and what size clothes he fits - mainly because I'm soooo proud that he now finally fits "newborn" size

The pavements round here. The council has very nicely put in dropped kerbs at crossing points ... but they've forgotten to put dropped kerbs at the entrances to shared alleyways, so I'm forever bumping the buggy up and down kerbs between road junctions. And cars parking half on the pavement, I know the roads are narrow, but please leave enough room for me to get the buggy through (what about wheelchair users?)

I share the rant about lifts. You've got legs, use them, climbing stairs is good for you.

Other buggy moms who stop for a chat in the middle of the street, or the middle of a shopping aisle - buggies alongside each other - you're too wide! There's no room for anybody else to get through. And no I don't want to join in your conversation, I don't know you.

Shops that I can't manouvre the buggy around. I'm a bit of a money-saver, but there are very few Pound Stores that I can get into with Andrew.

As for Parent & Child spaces - if I spot non P&C people parking in them, I leave them snotty notes on their windscreen. Makes me feel better

Other parents with babies....if we're out and Olivia is crying or fussing, they look down at their quiet, sleeping little angel, and then back at me all smug as if to say 'MY baby doesn't make a racket like that'.

Also when you see them checking out your pram, and they look down their noses all smarmy and smug cos their pram costs more/is a better make/a prettier colour.....snobs!

I totally agree with this. I don't think it's right when a pregnant woman says "I can't, because I'm pregnant" - you're not sick!

On the other hand (and I know I will make some enemies here, but I'm merely trying to point out the problem, because I have had dozens of mumns do it to me), people who push prams into people refusing to move. Sometimes I can't move, and some people with prams have it in their head that they shouldn't have to move, when they have loads of space on the other side of them. I also hate people that push a pram and text at the same time. Only this morning one of them stopped right in front of me, and I went straight into her, and she had the audacity to have a go at me I doubt any of you have done it, but one lady even used her pram and shoved it into my heel to get me to move. You don't use your baby as a weapon! I could have fallen backwards onto it

I hate hate hate people with pushchairs in town, they pay no attention to anything and just go straight for you and expect you to move.
