  • Apparently being a bad parent makes you first in line...

    Okay this weekend my mom decided she wanted to go out and for me to keep her company. As a treat for dragging me along out of my nice warm bed, she took me to a little Vietnamese place in the food court of a very small mall. I love this place and go as often as I can. Both the Male and Female who run the place know my order by heart and will ask where my girlfriend is if I don't bring her.

    This was perfectly find. It was after waiting a bit, talking to my mom after eating that I decided that I wanted a hot dog. I pulled out some money and went up to the counter.

    I went up to order and this guy comes rushing back after I was already acknowledged and shouted 'I was here first, It's my order.' Apparently being a couple tables away means he was there, I really have to watch out for those astro forms, they get me every time.

    Either way I just roll my eyes and let him order as it was really no skin off my nose as we weren't really in a hurried. After ordering he gives me a smug look and starts talking to a woman who ordered before him.

    His kid starts fussing and screaming (The Lungs were healthy on that kid, I tell yah) and he laughs and says 'look at him/her scream' . Eventually he ends up tells his wife?girlfriend?baby mama? to give the kid a french fry to shut him/her up.

    Now the french fries from this place are pretty good but they are really stiff (though gravy help with that) and should not being going near an infants mouth who could easily choke on one.

    And his girlfriend wasn't really much better as she didn't want anything to do with her kid and only gave in as my mother kept giving her the look of 'Your kid is fussing check on him/her'.

    Didn't help that apparently a younger kid asked about the bruises on the baby and the mother said he got them as he like to smack himself against things, as apparently stopping the kid would have been too much.

    I'm just glad I got my dog and convinced my mom to leave as with the looks he was giving me I didn't feel like being on the receiving end of some sort of fat joke.

    I always love the folks that give smug looks, because it's usually an open invitation for me to either flash a cheesy 'Great job, you should be so PROUD!' smile and a thumbs up, or slow clap, wipes it straight off their face.

    Still, poor kids, those two sound like utter winners.
    ...also, gravy on fries? To each their own! Though... think I'll stick with cheese.
    Okay everyone, lets all point and laugh at him right about....

    Now.

        Well, that's pretty shitty, but I can vouch for the bruises possibly being self inflicted. My son (18mo) loves to bang his head on his crib, he's been doing it since he was old enough to roll around in the crib. There's nothing I can do about it, he just does it. There's nothing wrong with him, I think he enjoys the sound. I figure he'll quit if it hurts too bad. Last checkup, he was covered in bruises from climbing in and out of his toy box and banging around the house.

              Yeah. My nephew is 2, and he keeps getting bruises and red marks on his head because he likes to run head-first into walls. I've seen him. It does not look good, but it's like...well, you can't always catch him, you know?

              But what a twatwaffle. You don't let your kid just shriek in a public place.
