I almost knocked a lady out right now

Sazhrah · March 2011

I was at Babies R' Us with DD. I just wanted to pick up some little things like some recieving blankets. I then hear a lady say under her breath but loud enough for me to hear, "Ugh, People like that shouldn't have kids". I look over and notice this biznatch and her mother staring and rolling their eyes at me. WTH!!!

It took me a second to realize exactly what they were talking about. I thought I looked nice today. A sleeveless dress shirt I got at motherhood yesterday in black and capri jeans. She was reffering to my tattoos is the only thing I can surmize. I don't look particularly "goth" today as I sometimes do but sheesh!

What kind of crap is that?! And what does what I look like have to do with how good of a mother I am.

I am a blunt person and would have flat out called her out on it and asked if she had problem??

I'm sorry that happened to you. She sounds like a horrible person.

ashleah83 · March 2011

People like THAT shouldn't have kids. I can't believe her Mom didn't yell at her. I would have!!

People suck. I learned in life that actually the people who look "goth" or just have tattoos and purple hair or something like that are actually usually a LOT nicer and open minded people than most others. I wish people wouldn't judge by appearance. How crummy for you.

That sucks, I am sorry you had to suffer that. I would have torn her a new one!

I'm sorry. That wasn't very nice at all. Some people never heard, or at least weren't taught, not to judge a book by it's cover. Just because you have tattoos doesn't make you a bad person or a bad mother, or anything negative at all!

Some people are stuck in the old age and will never learn!

Sorry that happened to you! It's sad how much people judge!

People are so rude. We were on our babymoon in San Diego this past week and were walking that evening in the Gaslamp area to find some food. These two girls, probably early 20's were like sitting on the sidewalk and as I walked by they made the remark "Oh, cute tummy" (I was in a regular tee shirt) and after I passed I heard the word slut and other remarks in there. I was floored. I'm non-confrontational and it just really made me sad that people have that kind of nerve. Here I am 32, this is our first child, we are professionals and I was just in awe. I was going to go back and make a comment, but I held it in. It's not worth me stooping to their level. I was thinking to myself "At least I'm not the one sitting on a corner working the streets." I really wanted to tell them that.

I'm sorry. People are stupid. As if tattooed or goth parents don't care about their kids... geez.

casirdms · March 2011

that sucks, people are so rude!

I definitely got a lot of comments when pregnant with DD and I still feel like I get stared at when I go to her school, just because I am younger than all the other parents. Oh well.

Don't let it get to you! You are obviously a better person than they are

OctoberCAPA · March 2011

That is ridiculous. If that's the kind of thing that makes her feel good about herself.....wow. I'm also impressed that you didn't call her out.

Turtle143 · March 2011

Rude judgmental people!

Sazhrah · March 2011

When I walked by her I whispered "pendeja y hija de puta" and blew them both kisses.

I was just so floored at first. I am sorry my DD had to experience that, luckily she doesnt speak enough spanish to know what the lady had said.

Do people like this really exist in today's society?

Basically "b!tch and daughter of a c$%t". It is really really bad to say those things in spanish.

You sure told them lol That's what they take for being rude (I usually won't agree with using profanity, but this pregnancy hormones had made me a bi... lately)

vigurl · March 2011

How rude. People can be so judgemental. So sorry you had to hear/go through that.

KrysmarieG10 · March 2011

That just shows how some people are just plain IDIOTS! Angry

MommaA117 · March 2011

what a judgement b*tch.

ericav1011 · March 2011

people really need to mind their own business! It's just plain ignorance. Also, if they feel the need to open their mouths, they should absolutely expect a response. I'm glad you put a nice little dig in ;-)

PinkyFloyd73 · March 2011

I bet they didn't think you knew Spanish. I love that you said something back. Screw them. As if having some some colors on your arms has anything to do with what kind of person or parent you are. It says more about the people who judge you. My MIL was all concerned when I got tattoos on my wrists and shoulders, saying people will look at you like this and that, and I just said that anyone who would judge what kind of person I am because I have a tattoos is not someone I would ever care to know anyway.

Luckywe1 · March 2011

People suck. How miserable do they have to be to say something like that?!

germanpickle · March 2011

I usually don't post when others have already covered the ground I would, but I want to add another voice to the crowd: I'm very sorry that you had to experience that and good for you for knowing that they're full of sh!t.

Be yourself and show those tatoos with serious pride, momma

amberpro · March 2011

What a B!tch! I can't believe people are that rude.

tchubirubi · March 2011

Oh, come on, why be angry? You should pity that fool, not be mad at her... I mean, it sucks to be her! She obviously has no life of her own, which is why she has to concentrate on strangers around her; she probably makes her kids miserable with her stupid prejudice and self-righteousness; and it is very likely that she is still oh so jealous because you looked so hot with your bump and your DD and your tattoos... I mean, it so got to her that she could resist but comment.

Sorry people like that still exist in this world! May you never come accross another one of those in your life (or that, if you ever do, they be so busy with the gerkins up their assses they don't even notice you).

All the best!
