I just needed to have a bit of a rant... as i am loosing my temper very slowly with rude people in the street that i dont even know !!
Most of you know my circumstances with having to leave my daughters dad.... and boy do i get reminded almost every single day !!
NEVER in my life have i copped so much shit since having izzy.......... i'm 22 and a single mum.... i get stupid remarks from assholes down the street ALL THE TIME !!!
I dont even have to be doing anything and someone will give me a smart ass remark about how silly young mothers are...
The other day i was walking through the pharmacy when some woman walked past me.. gave me a dirty look.... then said to her son " I think its so funny seeing silly young mums " i mean HONESTLY what the fuck did i do to her ??
Or i have bus drivers giving me shit about how " big " my pram is... and that if i dont fold it down then im not coming on !!!
i think almost every single time i have gone out with izzy someone has been rude and ignorant.. it makes me really sad because i KNOW im a good mum.... young or not izzy is being brought up in a healthy / happy way and as best i can.
BAHHH sorry just needed to let it out. ↓

| I'm really sorry to hear you have to put up with all that crap. Their behaviour towards you is a reflection on them, not you. How can they call you 'silly'? For what? Having a daughter in your 20s? Madness. :( ↑ |

Rosey, I have been partially in your shoes before......I have not had to experience being single......but seeing that we had our oldest when we were only 17.......you can imagine the crap we/ I caught! I was even walking out of a Victoria's Secret once.......I was already married at the time and probably 19 pushing 20 and a couple of girls walked in....one looked even younger than myself.....I had my oldest with me in her stroller and that young little brat looked at me rudley and said don't you learn being in here is what gave you that in the first place..........WTF!!!!! Lol I was a married woman....no I did not plan to have my family so young......but things have turned out to be perfect, we have a normal comfy life just like everyone else. People should keep their rude comments to theirselves they don't know you or your situation, and it's easier said than done believe me....we still get rude comments about the number of kids we have when we go out and I have learned to either ignore it, or turn it around on them to embaress them right back. Just hang in there, your prince charming will come along when the time is right Rosey. And really weather your old, young married or not there is always going to be some rude ignorant ass who feels the need to give you their 2 cents.....

22 is not THAT young. Geez! People need to mind their own business.
We get the ignorant remarks and looks too.
Jason is a tattoo artist and he's covered in tattoos and looks a little intimidating I suppose. I have tattoos too but not as many as him.
Jason took Silas to the park yesterday to let me sleep in and this old couple came along with their grand kid and took one look at Jason and left. Like he's going to do something???
When's the last time you saw a guy covered in tattoos on the news for kidnapping, or molestation or anything really?
It's always the seemingly "normal" looking men.
We get dirty looks just walking down the street.
I guess being 22 and also having tattoos makes us terrible parents eh? ↑ |

For me, I am alone alot because Chris is always deployed. When I was pregnant, I would avoid going out in public for as long as i could because the way people stared at me. Yes I was 19 but I would wait till I was practically out of every food item in the house before i would go shopping., just because i hated how people treated me.
And now that Tyler is 18 MO and Chris is once again deployed I get all the stares, this time its worse, and when he is tired and cranky for being in the cart for so long, all people do is stare.
I posted in due dates that one time this old man and his wife were questioning how old i was and kept saying "are you sure he isn't your brother? You don't look old enough to have a baby" As I was shopping at the Bx, which is on a military post! This old man was prob the same age i was when he and his wife had children.
Its not like we aren't the best parents we can be! and the reason why im by my self isn't because i was some slut that just happened to get knocked up, he is from a loving couple that is married and happy, and the reason why my Husband isn't here is because he is off at war, so save the rude comments.
I cant stand some people!! UGH!!
and when I'm at the mall, its bad too, like i shouldn't be allowed at the mall or something because i have a baby! ↑ |
