I remember one day when she was three weeks old; it was abnormally hot for October and we didn't have AC so I had spent an hour sponging the poor kid off to keep her cool and to stop her crying. My husband got back from work and we went to the commissary. My kid was wearing her diaper, and we had blankets to wrap her in in the commissary which was always kept in the 60s. As we walked up to the building some young thing wearing very short shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top stopped us to tell us that we needed to put clothes on the baby because she was cold. <br /><br />I think I shrieked at her. I certainly was loudly emphatic as I informed her that I had just spent an hour trying to cool the kid off enough to stop her screaming and crying. <br /><br />The drive-by mommier went off looking rather shocked. I guess she had expected me to be grovellingly thankful for her wisdom.Library-Gryffonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446982343602702829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-60607928445437562812015-01-04T21:37:52.124-05:002015-01-04T21:37:52.124-05:00Well, at least she exploded and made a total ars o...Well, at least she exploded and made a total ars of herself. I worry about the perfecto parents. EVERYTHING is perfect...the way they dress, their tone, their hair...EVERYTHING. Half the time, I figure out my shoes are mismatched or I have my bedroom glasses (the totally crooked pair I have kept from 1989 to wear to bed so that I don't ruin my good pairs) as I'm walking up to the school...from the scowels I am getting from the other parents. My husband and I suspect that they go home and kick the dog. <br /><br />Parenting is HARD. I need more normal people around me to commiserate with...that's what makes it fun...and funny. You know the ones...you can say "You're not gonna believe what my son did last week..." Or "Um...did you hear those kids read those essays at the assembly? There's NO WAY my daughter could even begin to write that way...". <br /><br />I live in a relatively affluent area where everyone tries to one-up everyone else. I have tried to reach out, but their response is often something like "Oh, well my Johnny is perfect in every way, so he would never do that." <br /><br />WHATEVER!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-7510249691094633292015-01-02T10:27:43.054-05:002015-01-02T10:27:43.054-05:00As Ann Landers would say: MYOB.

I take a few classes at the local college, and not too long ago (the temperature was in the teens) I stopped a student and told him that although I wasn't his mother, I was old enough to be and therefore on her behalf was telling him to go home and put on pants and real shoes.

We were walking along a foot/cycle path in our village and saw a couple of tourist cars that had obviously taken a wrong turn but they were only 50 yards or less from the main road in the other direction. But they turned round and followed us, forcing us off the path to get past. The second slowed and rolled down his window, I asked could I help but he screamed at me - Had I never seen someone who'd taken a wrong turn? and then started to drive on, I was about 3in from his cardoor so put my hand out to steady myself and, evil and vile person that I am, TOUCHED his car.
