Will you just say hi to my kid please?

Ella randomly says hi to people.  Most people say "hi" back and what a cute kid she is, etc, etc.  But SERIOUSLY.  There are people who have their thumbs so far up their asses that they can't say "hi" back and then give her a dirty look to boot!  Kiss my bum folks!!!

 

Vent over :P  I bet you hope you don't run into me in a store, huh?

    This SAME thing happens to us!  Ava's favorite word is "hi" -- she loves to say hi to everyone we pass, everywhere.  Most people are great about it, but some are just such a$$holes.  The saddest part is that Ava keeps repeating "hi" over and over again, like "why aren't they saying hi back??"

    HI ELLA!

    I hate when people don't say hi to Paige too. She waves & says hi & bye to EVERYONE!! The best is she'll give someone a look that doesn't say hi back. LIke what's your deal?!?!?  Very funny.

    Hi Ella!  What a pretty girl you are!  And smart too, listen to you talk!

     

    I totally understand.  How people can't take a moment to say hi to a little one is beyond me.

    We go out to eat a lot with my mom and dad.  Nearly all of the places we go to, at least a couple of people talk to Grant or comment on how good or cute he is.  There is this one place that we have been to about four times.  Every time we go, NOBODY says anything to or about Grant.  I refer to that place as "the restaurant that hates babies".  Really, how hard would it be for the hostess or our server to say something nice about my baby.  He's good and does not make a mess or make much noise.

    Sorry.  I got a bit heated. . .

    I have had small children try to interact with me on "bad IF days" and haven't been super responsive/cheerful in response. 

    I have a friend who is childless by choice and really doesn't like kids so I suspect her responses to such encounters are rather chilly as well.  

    As long as people aren't saying something mean TO your kid, I don't think there's really anything wrong with a null response.

    I'm sorry but I just disagree on this.  Our society is so mommy- and child-centric that we forget that not everyone is so inclined.  Just because children are the center of your life doesn't mean that they are the center of other's lives and it isn't fair to expect them to respond the same way you would.  Their life, experiences, feelings and perceptions are their own.  Not everyone likes kids.  Not everyone is always in the mood to interact with kids.  And that is ok. 

    ETA ---> I make eye contact with and smile politely at strangers a lot.  Most don't smile back.  Maybe they don't smile at strangers.  Maybe they're in a bad mood.  Whatever the case, I don't hold it against them.   Just because I chose to engage in a behavior doesn't mean they have to.
