I recently read a blog telling of a quilting class -
Where a mom had brought her new baby -
Three weeks old -
Awwwwwwwwww -
What a cutie!!
She had left her two older kids home with daddy -
But brought the baby to class - ;))
BOB finds it
That DADDY can't/won't handle all three kids -
On class day -
But MOMMY is expected to handle all three kids -
EVERY day - ;))
But I digress -
Now I know that I am probably in the minority -
A - G - A - I - N -
But I don’t think -
That the mom should have -
Brought the baby to class -
Even if she was breastfeeding -
That's why they have breast-pumps - ;))
I think that it was rude and selfish of her -
Unless the class SPECIFICALLY invited children -
Don't get me wrong -
I am ALL FOR teaching kids to quilt -
And the younger - the better -
But you have got to admit -
That three weeks old is a bit young -
To get a full grasp of the basics - ;))
AND -
If I were another mom -
Who had arranged for a babysitter -
For my kids -
And signed up for a class -
I would not appreciate -
Another mom bringing HER baby to class -
I left mine at home -
On purpose -
So that I could get AWAY from kids -
And talk to some grown-ups in the daytime -
Only to have YOU bring YOURS??
thankyouthankyouverymuch -
And then I’m expected to smile -
And say Awwwwwwwwww -
What a cutie!!
When I would much rather say -
Awwwwwwwww, MAN!! -
Or -
Oh, CRAP!! -
Why didn't you tell me kids were allowed?? -
If I had known -
I wouldn't have gone to all of that trouble -
To make special arrangements -
I would have just brought MY kids, too!! - ;))
But then again - it’s probably just me.
