My embarrassing reaction (long)
I'm a teacher and today we had a half day. Right after dismissing the kids I was walking to lunch with a couple of other teachers. As we walked around the front of the building there were still a bunch of parents waiting for their kids.
As we're walking past them I hear a newborn baby start crying and I turn around to look. There is nobody attempting to comfort him or standing near the stroller. He now starts screaming at the top of his lungs. I walk over to see who he belongs to and none of the parents are claiming him. It's now a full 2 minutes (felt like years) and he is screaming and getting so upset that I start to get upset.
I didn't want to pick him up so I was rocking the stroller and I swear I was about to pick him and the other teachers are telling me not to...mom comes running down the stairs. She was inside the building, YES inside! I walked away and started bawling. I was so embarrassed but I literally couldn't hold it back. I was so upset that she left her newborn outside alone to cry.
I've had a yucky feeling all day now.

Re: My embarrassing reaction (long)
There are about 10 steps going up the to the front of the school so she couldn't have rolled it up. One would think she would just leave the stroller and take her kid but I guess her faulty thinking was that someone would take the stroller??
I was literally hysterical after it happened. Probably a wee bit dramatic but I was really upset.
Oh. My. God! I cannot imagine anyone doing that...
