Annoying moms

[Anonymous]

Moms who claim their child is gifted before child is even able to speak clearly.

Moms who threaten to leave their child behind because they cant find an agreeable way to make their child leave somewhere.

Moms who speak down to teachers/nannies/daycare providers. I guess I should rephrase people who speak down to other people.

Moms who yell at kids to get them to stop yelling or smack/spank kids to get them to stop hurting people.

I could go on and on and on about this topic forever. Glad I found this board.

+1. Moms who let their older kids run hog wild in any play area meant for young kids are a total pain in the ass.

+1 And then when you try to step in because their kid is hitting your kid or doing something dangerous, they yell at you and tell you to MYOB.

The older kids in the playarea...annoying. Also, moms who only talk about their kids all.of.the.time. Sometimes I hate going to playgroups, etc. because there is only so much I can discuss about toddler sleeping, pooping, talking...Yeah, I probably need to go back to work....

Moms who assume that because I do not punish my kid, and my kid is so well behaved, that I must have an "easy" kid and be so "lucky," instead of understanding that I work my butt off to parent my child and it is damn hard work to guide behavior in a respectful and cooperative way rather than the thoughtless threatening and bribing and punishing I see you do.

OMG! I usually hate all the snark on these threads but I am a nanny and you just described one of my former MBs to a T. She eventually had a breakdown.

Mom with baby (ahead of me) in the grocery store line who feels it is more important to show her baby every item in the cart before it is placed on the belt.

Moms with strollers who feel they have the right to go ahead of me to get on or off the elevator. They don't ask-they just trudge ahead.

Elevators frequently have signs stating that those with greater need get priority. Next to that often there will be a symbol of a wheelchair, baggage and Yes, stroller. It is this way on the DC Metro. Yes, if you can walk or more easily take the escalator then a mom with a stroller DOES have the right to go ahead of you.

Moms who believe they are entitled just because they have a child or are pregnant.

People who still believe they are a priority even when there are posted signs clearly stating that they are not.

Moms driving their Suburbans with NCS stickers and MD tags at a high rate of speed thru my neighborhood while talking on their cell phone. Next time I will take a picture and post.

My anwer is no you want, I am not making my child put down the toy he is playing with so yours can play with it, find another toy, shovel, piece of chalk or what ever it is. HE IS NOT SHARING!

Wow. That's not very nice of you.

yes it is, do you share your "toys". I like your car, jacket, house whatever and I am going to wait 2 mins then it is mine for a while. Screw that. It is unrealistic. It makes perfect sense to me to tell the child mine or not, to look for another toy because this one is being used and I am not sure how long it is going to before they are finished. Why should I make my child give up a toy. I have always found that strange and I refuse to do it. Too bad if it bothers someone else, I don't really care, rather bother you than the child playing with the toy your child wants.

I agree. I find the trend of children running up and grabbing things expecting that they will then get "their turn" to be annoying. I'd rather have a put-out 3 year old who learns that she doesn't get the shovel someone else is already using than a completely entitled older child who never learned that she doesn't get a "turn" with someone else's whatever the minute she wants one.

Mom's who act like supermom -- work full time, home make baby food, have sex with their DH's nightly, breastfeed and still have tons of time to go out with their friends and drink and have fun. That is what irritates me!
