Are some mothers really so stupid?

Yes, it was common to leave the pram,complete with baby, outside a shop.

However, buses at that time could not accommodate a pushchair, let alone a pram.

We had to struggle to fold the pushchair while holding the baby.

Talking about stupid mums, there is a supremely daft mum in our local online paper. I won't give a link to it for the sake of the child but she is complaining about her son being bullied due to her being a retro pin-up model and a Katie Perry lookalike.

She had to take her 6 year old son out of primary school because of physical and verbal abuse. Once he gets another school place he will have to go back a year because of all the schooling he has missed.

All this is bad enough but there is a photo of her in her gear, then there are two photos of her cuddling her son. She is wearing an extremely low top which her enormous boobies are falling out of and you can practically see the nipples. The camera is centred very firmly on these. At the bottom there are comments about her - well lets say her appearance. Poor kid doesn't stand a chance.

Yes shame on those pople who obviously are so selfish to think of the welfare of the baby:cool: because clearly a mother who leaves a 3 month old child unattended is definitely a person to look up to as a role model:eek: ........pity people like that are allowed to procreate poor kids is all I can say!

So you seriously think that leaving the baby downstairs sleeping in a pram whilst she is upstairs, means she should not have kids?
Jeez I have seen much worse irresponsibility from supposedly very good parents.
Shame on not one person saying as I would have, I'll keep an eye on the pram for you, or will let you know if baby cries.
We are so quick to condemn yet not so quick to offer help, perhaps the other kids had been mithering all day to sit upstairs and she had had enough.

Shame on them, you reckon?

Screw that.

If I was in the OP's position - how would I feel if I didn't say anything and something subsequently happened to the baby? May be selfish, but I'd be sticking my nose in on this one.

Well why not offer help instead of condemnation?

So she should cange the way she dresses and teach her children that unless you are willing to conform to the way people think you should dress then you expect to be bullied?
Good for her I say it is nobody's business how she dresses but her own, if a child were being bullied because of an overweight parent, should the parent accept that?

And woe betide dad if he got off the bus and left the folded pushchair in the luggage space under the stairs! :rotfl:

I might offer to keep an eye on the baby, but wouldn't necessarily want to be responsible!

I was getting off at the next stop plus I had my own grizzly baby and miserable mithering toddler to deal with. The bus was full of commuters heading home (myself included) and perhaps taking responsibility for a stranger's baby was not a priority for them - it certainly wasn't for me. If that sounds selfish, so be it....

I wouldn't worry too much about the kid's privacy, it was in the Daily Mail so that ship has long since sailed, she does look a lot like Katy Perry, if a few dress sizes bigger:

Schools should tackle bullying, but I can't how imagine putting him in the national press will make things better for him.

I wouldn't leave a baby unattended, but it is a good point that it used to be commonplace and nobody would have batted an eyelid. Funny how things change.

She was very unwise to allow the photo of her, her son and her boobs to be used - it detracted from a serious story about a school's complete failure to sort out bullying! If the article is to be believed, at one point she had a police escort to collect him from school, things had got so bad. The school is reported as saying "Boys will be boys".

She was in the mail. I dont think the bullying is the real issue here, i think mummy wants to launch a new career

She looks nothing like kp either
