People who don’t mind their buisness in public.

What is with other moms staring? We are all in this together surely you’ve been through similar or will go through similar in regard to tantrums, baby crying/ fussing in public etc. As a first time mum I could never imagine myself now or even before I was a mum to stare at another mum or whisper. It a part of life babies are going to cry in public they are a part of society and have every right to be in those spaces such as cafes/ stores/ public transport. How could you make another mum feel like that if you’re a mum yourself I don’t understand it unless something is seriously wrong or something bad happening catches my eye. The other day I was in Primark in the baby section and there was a mum with a toddler around two years old he was screaming the shop down. I was minding my own buisness shopping and trying not to make the stressed mum feel even more uncomfortable by staring. Next of all I see this couple with a newborn and an older lady I’m presuming was one of their mums. They didn’t hide the fact they were staring passing remarks & comments and whispering. I felt so bad for the mum and felt like saying something to them but I didn’t want to get into any confrontation with my baby with me. Today, I was at the park with my baby who was in a great mood and smiling and Laughing on the swings for a short time. Another mum kept lingering around me even in a video I took of my baby you can see her in the background just standing there staring. I didn’t take any offence because she could have just been looking in admiration. I then took my baby out the swing and sat on a bench and prepared his formula which I knew was a hit and miss as he is teething at the moment and sometimes will not drink so I do different things to distract him like putting dancing fruits on my phone etc (the mums who know the magic of dancing fruits know😂) anyways my baby was fussing and wouldn’t drink no matter what. Next of all I looked over my shoulder and I just see her staring like wtf mind your own buisness your own kid is there pay them attention. When I caught her staring she immediately looked away. Then on my bus ride home I had an old man and woman who definitely didn’t know how to whisper they were openly making comments “ the sun is in his eyes” “it’s too warm for a blanket “ I was just at the park it was sunny but sooo windy and cold so I put a blanket on. I didn’t really care about what the old people had to say as they are just being typical old people😂 Idk this is a bit of a rant because it made me feel uncomfortable & if your someone who does this in public please double think about how uncomfortable you could be making the mother. If you have experienced the same or similar share your experience and how to handle it.

My sons are at home most of the time, I haven't began to take them out yet. I already predict people doing this to us, I'm not looking forward to that

@Shay oh no hun I don’t want to make you anxious or more nervous about getting out. There are tons and tons of very nice people who you’ll have lovely interactions with who will smile and compliment at you and your babies but there are just a few odd people out there unfortunately but they are the minority. Best we just learn how to ignore those people.

I can't believe people have the nerve! It can be so vulnerable being a mother to a baby/toddler. I haven't taken my son out on my own yet but a incident yesterday left me feeling uncomfortable at the doctor's...A woman literally looking over my husbands shoulder to have a good look at the baby..and she continued even with me looking at her.I think we all need to start getting our mama bear claws out
