What’s the worst thing another mother ever said to you?

We had an amnio too. Our children were both 3 at the time.

Can you elaborate as to why you found this offensive? Does your child have an issue that could’ve been (was?) found with an amnio?

+2. I am curious too.
And for the record, I also had genetic testing (CVS) for precisely the same reason.

The exact same thing happened to me. At that point I’ve already decided to drop my filters with perfect strangers. I told her she may yet have a stillborn so let’s not get cocky. She almost sat down. I told her it would teach her to stop saying stupid shit to complete strangers and exited.

You are a terrible person. Try to get some control over your children and strangers won’t feel the need to comment.

Bet that woman learned a lesson that day.

+1.

She “learned” that she encountered an insecure, unstable witch on public transit. The end.

She learned that like begets like. Don’t dish it if you can’t take it.

Oh, I didn’t realize you’re 12.

She didn’t “learn” anything. She just had a good laugh after the fact at PP’s expense. Promise.

That’s hilarious. I appreciate you. People on metro are often intolerant dicks. Even the pregnant ladies. I hope she didn’t swallow too many flies and learned her lesson (though I doubt it).

So you are an actual a hole then. Not only do you let your kid bother other riders on a train but then you hurl deeply offensive insults at the strangers that you were already bothering. What a jerk.

I don’t have filters with strangers either so if the kid is being an out of control monster then I will say so. Don’t like it? Keep your own kids to themselves then.

That is a horrible thing to say to someone. I mean, I'm not against fighting fire with fire but this is just unnecessarily cruel.

People who make mean comments to others shouldn’t be surprised if they get it back.

yeah, people like that count on everyone else being polite. They're just "calling it like it is," but anyone who calls them on it is awful. The actual insults that the PP "hurled" was that the woman was cocky. Which is 100 percent accurate.

+1. Think of all the parents that were spared her mean remarks for the rest of her pregnancy.

You’re delusional. PP is not some kind of superhero and her nasty, childish snapback changed nothing about the other woman’s future behavior, except to laugh with her DH or her friends at happy hour about the delusional loon on the train who told her she might have a miscarriage.

This is really striking a nerve with you. How many struggling moms have you harassed?

Oh, nooooo. You resorted to the tired “this is really striking a nerve” idiocy. How embarrassing for you.

That would have been the last time I spoke to her. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Lol no way. No one talks on the metro. Even when an adult person with psychiatric disorder comes on screaming profanities and then leaves, no one says a thing. Metro stops unexpectedly with no explanation from conductor? Still no one talks. People are not going to talk about a kid having a meltdown.

Also, it’s perfectly normal for kids of a certain age to have meltdowns. Maybe your previous angels never did, but a lot of us have experienced an embarrassing public meltdown from an exhausted 2 year old.

I am missing what's wrong with this. I am sorry.

It’s saying the child shouldn’t have been born.
