Bad Mommy at Clemyjontri

[Anonymous]

Bad, bad mommy. I was BF my little one in a sling and watched the whole thing.

Your pre-schooler was screaming and crying MOMMY, MOMMY and where were you. He was stuck up high in one of the play structures calling for you. People all around were just watching, a few people tried to help and he would scream even louder when they tried to help him.

He was pointing to my direction and someone asked me to come closer. I did and he started talking to me "WHERE'S MY MOMMY?" he asked. I think I looked like his teacher or someone he knows. (People thought I was his mom first by the way he addressed me). I said "WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?" and he said "YOU KNOW, MY MOM, MRS. XXXXX" I told him "CAN I HELP YOU TO GET DOWN SO WE CAN WALK AROUND AND LOOK FOR HER?" and he jumped on my lap.

I was putting him down on the ground trying to avoid getting my baby hurt and you suddenly appeared from godknowswhere and grabbed him yelling "WHAT HAPPENED?". You idiot! Be careful when approaching someone's personal space! You banged and scratched my baby's head that's why she started crying.

I was trying to help and you should be grateful and not give me that ugly face when the baby started screaming.

I looked at you and said "HE WAS CALLING FOR YOU" you said "OH OK" and I said "YUP, FOR OVER 15 MINUTES!" and you looked ashamed.

Next time, keep your eyes on your child. Bad mommy!

Well, good for you for helping that poor kid down, and for calling his mom out on not watching her kid.

That said, I don't see any point to this thread.... except to stir shit up. If it's about her accidentally hitting your baby and making your LO cry, you were ballsy enough to call her out for being inattentive, you should have opened your mouth then and told her you didn't appreciate her knocking your kid in the head.

It's just a vent.

I'm tired of people calling out bad nannies. I just wanted to remind them that there are bad mommies out there too.

Maybe she had lost him, too, and was frantically looking for him. I know the one time I braved bringing my two kids there on my own (big mistake) they headed off in opposite directions and I nearly had a stroke trying to find the older one while not losing the younger one.

Eh, nobody's perfect. Give it time. Someday you or your child will do something that everybody else thinks is horrifying.

I agree with PP. What a passive-aggressive response to write a post like this calling out "Bad Mommy" behavior. It is good that you were there to help her son and she obviously should have been paying better attention, but I hate these types of posts that serve absolutely no purpose other than to trash someone. If you have something to say, say it to her in person.

Are you a nanny on the defensive? The point of calling out bad (or good) nannies is so that the mother of the child involved will know what happened to her child. Since the "bad mommy" of this child already knows what happened to her child, what is your point?

I was there with my 3 children. While we're not perfect I just think that she should have showed some courtesy to the person who "found" her child.

To Vent!

I already said that. I wanted to VENT.

Got it?

Agreed...there could have been any number of reasons this occurred, and while it shouldn't have, I don't see calling this necessarily "bad mommy" behavior, especially since you say she looked "ashamed." And seriously...15 minutes? Doubtful.

If this story was about a nanny, the same women saying this is not a big deal would be FURIOUS! Why do moms get the benefit of the doubt but paid professionals do not?

Signed,
Nope not a nanny (in fact, a SAHM)

There are bad moms out there, and I have seen moms doing stupid things. But this honestly sounds like a troll.

The key word is PAID PROFESSIONAL.

No benefit of the doubt necessary. If you think another mom is a bad mom, but not abusive (in which case you should have called the police), then it is nobody else's business, including yours. If you want an apology because she bumped into you, you should have asked her when you were there.
