I know that this is slightly off topic, but have you ever noticed that mothers can be absolutely disgusting when it comes to tending to Bratley/Brattney? Case in point, there was one mother at my former church who had her baby with her. I turned away in disgust when she pulled a booger out her kid's nose for him! [glow=red,2,300]NASTY![/glow]  |

Oh, I know. I suppose somebody has to do it -- but do they have to do it in public. This is precisely why little kids shouldn't BE at a restuarant PERIOD.

OMG that is DISGUSTING. If I'd have been there it would have been tough for me not to vomit starting a scene like that of the pie eating contest in Stand By Me...
Children in general are disgusting, unclean little monsters. When I saw the Lysol commercial with the kids telling each other secrets like, "I don't always wash my hands" I came to a nauseating realization. One kid whispers to another, "Sometimes I play with my poops in the toilet". What. The. F.UCK. I never knew quite how disgusting they truly were until that moment. And their parents think pwecious is the sweetest thing ever... It's a walking E. coli and staphylococcus colony!!! A biohazard on two legs!! Should not be handled without a pair of salad tongs!!
I never did that, did you??

Was she using a tissue at least? Ignoring whether or not it's gross, it is unsanitary, and if the child has even a slight cold, it can spread disease, especially in a group of people. The church I went to had a lot of elderly people with health problems and were highly susceptible to getting sick. Even if someone is young, there's no way of telling if they have an autoimmune deficiency (whether a disease, genetic, or result of cancer treatment) that would leave them vulnerable.
But yeah, kid's noses have to be cleaned. The parent should at least do it with concern for the health of others.

Just mutter "I hope you wish your hands afterwards" and slowly SLINK away in repulsion. . .  That is gross, though. |

Yuk!
Im in the UK and what Ive seen loads of lately is this:
Parent (lots of blokes do this) picking up the brat in a shopping mall, street or cafe, lifting it up and putting face in crutch and sniffing the nappy for poo! Absolutely grosse!
I saw a guy do it to a toddler in the Mall right in front of me. I choked and said yuk out loud! He heard me too.
They just lose all dignity dont they?

I think that kind of thing is necessary when you have kids, though. You'd think people would be more discreet and concern themselves a little more for those around them. Not just for sanitary reasons (wonder if it's the same people who send their kids to school with sanitizers), but because some people involuntarily react physically to that kind of thing. I can't deal with people vomiting, retching, or choking. Whenever I see it in public or on tv (even cartoons!), I start retching and it takes all my strength to get away before I vomit in public.
It seems like a lot of parents suddenly don't care about the welfare of people around them because they're so fixated on little Timmy. I'm not saying they can't care for their child in public, just have a little common sense and courtesy when doing it.
I don't know about anyone else, but my experience with poopy diapers (little brother) was that we didn't need to sniff his crotch to tell it was time for a change...

You're supposed to take them to the bathroom or car right away if they get gross and clean them up.

Gosh, you can smell it across the room when a kid's pants are ripe, FCOL (for crying out loud)! It would be funny if they did that right when the kid pushed out a nice, fudgy brownie for them! Inhale deeply, daddy!  |

Just reading those comments turned my stomach. Ew! My sister has very young kids and she finds that kind of behaviour as disgusting as I do. So really there is no excuse for it. I sometimes think those kind of parents get off on the disgusting things they are prepared to do for their precious squalkers and even more so when others are grossed out by it. On holiday recently I was eating breakfast in a restaurant and had the family near me discussing baby's bowel movements in lurid detail - in a restaurant! They seem to forget that there is a civilized world outside their grubby little family. Rant over phew thanks.

I've seen people do that, and to me, it should raises some eyebrows. Why would anyone WANT to do that?

You know that if we started talking about our bowel movements, they would throw a fit.

Breast feeding doesn't bother me as long as the woman is discreet and the kid isn't barfing milk anywhere. Seeing anyone vomit, even cartoons, is enough to make me start heaving.

I have a friend in town and on the way back from the airport, she was telling me she saw a mother pick the kid's nose and then, not knowing what to do with the bugger, she wiped it onto the kid's shirt. What's the point?

Jesus, even when I pick my own nose I make sure to wipe myself on a kleenex or at least a piece of paper and throw it away.

Welcome to the Boards 2cool2BMOO This subject you brought up is by far the most disgusting one I have seen yet. LOL
Just kidding, But it is sort of sick for us CF'ers
But it very much validates my position on never wanting to have a baby
Boogers,& poopys, and vomit, OH MY! LOL That is not for me. NO THANK YOU!
Thank goodness I have never had that experience.
When all my nieces and nephews were babies I never really got to see them till they were 2 and up.
LOL That is because their parents took the responsibility and took care of their own babies
And did not call on me auntie TW to take care of them.
So I was spared all of that crap Thank G*D! LOL
And as for seeing it in public by strangers? I never had that pleasure? either T.G
I guess I got lucky that way.
I hope my luck continues too. Cause If I ever saw anything like that I would puke!
ewwwwwwwwww is the word for this topic. LOL

booger digging and that whole diaper thing and potty talk in public. yuck! or breast feeding in public for that matter. In the Barnes & Nobles Cafe, I was eating my lunch, and I saw a very petite & bespectacled woman breastfeeding her infant daughter. I was trying desperately NOT to notice, lol. When I inched my eyes over to her, for a few seconds, the woman's face turned stony, as if she was disgusted that I was acknowledging her existence. WTF. . . LOL!!!  |

That is gross, though.
