Vent--poor DH

sugarbear0524

Dh called me from our weight watchers meeting wanting to know how much longer it would be till I got there.  I was stuck in traffic and could hear my sweet DS wailing.  He was trying to get a bottle ready and had spilled the bottle of water I keep in the diaper bag.  He didn't want to leave DS to go to the bathroom for more water.

There were a number of ladies in line to weigh in at weight watchers.  DH said that several of them made comments like, "When I had a baby that age, I always had a bottle ready."  Poor DH, he was doing the best he could.  Could ONE of those ladies give him a hand instead of just watching him struggle?  Could one of them offer to go to the next room and get water for him? 

To be fair, one did offer to watch DS while DH went to the other room.  Um, no, lady.  I'm sure you're a nice  person but we don't know you.  In hindsight, DH could have taken DS to the bathroom with him, but a screaming baby in public is a stressful situation and he didn't think of it.  I got there and quickly got a bottle fixed.  Poor DH.  He's so hands on and a fantastic daddy. He was trying.

Moral of the story...help the frazzled mommy or daddy.  Don't stand there judging. And keep your comments to yourself.

That sucks no one would help him out.  I have seen DH freeze a couple of times in stressful situations, and I know he wants to be helpful, but just doesn't know how to think things through with a baby screaming.

Those ladies were rude and should have kept their mouths shut.

Not cool, WW ladies, not cool. Come on, who would leave their baby with a random stranger? Props to DH for trying his best, sorry it was so rough on him!
