[quote=Anonymous]Lots of good advice in here. Nosy old ladies do this and it's annoying AF and I give anyone carte blanche to tell them to mind their own business.

Once when my kid was 3 or so she threw a total fit while we were out and was screaming and crying when I put her in the stroller but also refused to walk. This happened on a street corner at  a super busy intersection near tons of traffic and I just wanted to get her away from all the cars before I properly dealt with the tantrum. So I picked her up (since that was the one thing that would for sure calm her down) and then kind of awkwardly steered the stroller with my elbow to get us onto the nearby residential block. And as I'm holding this weeping 3 year old with one arm and steering a stroller with the other arm this old lady walks by and straight up sneers at me "they are supposed to go IN the stroller dear." I spun around and said "No one asked you!" and marched off because good lord no parent needs a freaking peanut gallery while their kid is in the middle of a melt down and car are speeding by and honking horns.

Some people have no sense of solidarity.[/quote]
