no, nyc, no
lately nyc citizens have been pulling some really bad stunts.
annoying- i want to beat your face in- stunts.
this warm weather has brought all sorts of people out of the wood work-
please go back to your small apartment trap.
and stay there.
perhaps i have been hanging out in midtown too much lately (which at any time of the year could drive anyone mad)
maybe i have become extra impatient and sassy.
or just maybe it's them and not me..... (ya, ok- you're right this is highly unlikely.)
regardless i am fed up.
here are my reasons for becoming a crazy woman- and just try to tell me this wouldn't push all the wrong buttons.
here are the instances
#1.....random citizen advice
when on a light leisurely stroll, after finally taming my wild kitty toddler into a nap with a sucker, i am approached by a woman.
"excuse me miss." she says.
"yes?"
"you're kids head is sideways and you need to wipe her face off."
really woman.
here i was feeling triumphant after a long fought sleep battle- enjoying the lovely post feel of a 9/11 memorial gander and you say, "you need to wipe her face off."
really?
would any mother in her right mind take a wet wipe to her snoozing toddlers sticky face once they were zonked out and it took her forever to accomplish such a feat?
no- maybe one time and then when they woke up and you had to ensue battle for another hour you would never. do. it. again.
that's how i knew this person was not a mother.
what i wanted to say, "shut the hell up."
what i said was,"thanks- i am her mother. i know how to treat my child."
don't talk to me random advice giving citizen- especially in a mob crowd right when the walk signal has given you the go.
just don't.
#2...lazy subwayers
me waiting in line for an elevator with a strollered child.
when 8/10 people have no physical aliments or large luggage.
then a woman comes out of nowhere when it arrives and tries to cut me off.
i would have lost it.
luckily a man lost it on my account- stuck out his stick to block her and let me in.
but seriously nyc?
don't you have working legs-
you're a fit 16 year old boy and your taking the elevator.
shame on you.
#3... playground woes.
3 mothers-
3 different times
leaving the playground gate open
kids dashing for freedom
kids crying from lack of freedom
really other mothers?
do not leave the gate open-
that is mommy code.
don't break the code.
ever.
#4....mothering when a mothers there
mary has become a potential ladder climber.
with a wee bit of assistance she scales those rungs.
she had just finished doing such fine toddlering when she decided she might want to go back down.
in any other instance it would be acceptable- but at this moment another child was receiving motherly ladder climbing assistance.
me, "mary you need to go down the slide or down the step."
me again, "mary you can't go down this way."
random mother, "go down the slide or the steps."
-mary, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, etc. etc. etc." (angry/depressed stranger fear.)
random mother don't boss around my child when i'm right there.
random mother thanks for making my child cry.
you're the worst.
when these type of events happened in succession of each other all on the same day......
i was ready to beat some faces in.
let's work on this nyc.
i won't do stuff like this to you, so please don't do it to me.
just don't.
hope all you're yesterdays, today's and tomorrows you avoid people/situations like this.
