Some people need to get a serious grip on themselves

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/we-felt-so-discriminated-against-mother-furious-after-shes-told-no-buggys-at-choir-service-35305519.html

This woman is claiming that she (and other mothers) is/are being discriminated against because she can't bring her baby's buggy into a choir service.

Well at least her family know what to buy her for christmas, a nice dictionary where she can look up words like discriminated.

Particularly single men.

Well we haven't seen a picture of her yet, so she might be too ugly to toss one off to.

Drama queen.
Wonder what the pay out will be.

They went to listen to a choir during their son's nap time?

Bloody hell, what next, drum practice while he snoozes?

Bringing a 10 month old to a carol service at his nap time is irresponsible parenting TBH. I hope social services were called.

We are forgetting that this is the Indo reporting...

Special Circumstances · 20-12-2016 09:24AM

Ah... Indo.

Even the irish times wouldn't go this far to make out that a female was being discriminated against. Or maybe they would.... only they're still too busy crywanking over Hillary losing.

Is there any paper worth reading in this country?

the Dear Deirdre section in the Sun get's my vote.

Maybe it's just impractical to have buggies in that particular area. I'm sure they don't just hate babies. Sure Jesus was a baby.

First Mary and Joseph were turned away from that Inn and now this.

Although in fairness, if I had an Inn and a woman who claimed she was impregnated by a ghost wanted to stay the night, I might turn her away too.

Imagine the horror, being expected to carry your own child, and leave your precious bugaboo unattended. The therapy that will be needed to get over that!

Posting links to their "articles" just feeds the click bait beast

seamus · 20-12-2016 09:37AM

Yep, Indo.

Whoever decided this woman's irrational rant was worth of publishing needs to rip up their qualifications and go do something they're actually competent at.

Sam Kade · 20-12-2016 09:43AM

She seemed more worried about her bugaboo than the baby, what if someone ran off with her bugaboo while she were inside? The woman would never recover from the ordeal :rolleyes:

If ever I'm forced to I usually add an explicit "Caution: Indo" before the link in case people click through blindly.

hatrickpatrick · 20-12-2016 10:14AM

Can people please stop repeating the word "bugaboo", my sides hurt more than after doing a hundred sit-ups

It's all lies, I've never done even half that many in fairness

maxwell smart · 20-12-2016 10:17AM

Can we get Niamh Horan to do an interview (I use that term loosely) perhaps about the injustice of it all?

Maybe a nice piece in the Sindo with Barry Egan perhaps?

I've never heard of a bugaboo until this thread but it seems to be the pinnacle of the story.

quickbeam · 20-12-2016 10:22AM

And yet nobody seems concerned about the poor discriminated against photographers who aren't allowed to bring their cameras in either. For shame people! For shame!!

WEEEE are the knights who say BUGABOO!
We will continue to say bugaboo until you brings us a shrubbery.

I don't get it, what's her problem

The sign says ...

No Flash Photography.
No Food/ Drinks.
No Buggies Allowed Inside.

PS 'Bugaboo' is the Rolls Royce of the pram world.

Maybe it's part of her culture? Would that be grounds to challenge this?
RTE could surely commission a series where every misfortune that befalls bugaboo owners could be laid at the door of the bugaboo discriminators?

Toto Wolfcastle · 20-12-2016 10:30AM

This is not a new thing in Farmleigh. The halls in the house are not wide enough to handle the amount of people who go on there without adding buggies too. It's not just a carol service. You can wander around the house too. People just leave their buggies outside. They also have singing outside, as well as free child-friendly activities.

LordSutch · 20-12-2016 10:31AM

Why is the brand/make of pram even relevant?

tritium · 20-12-2016 10:32AM

Devastatwd and angry over that, christ whats her reaction to something serious?

What qualifications?
Assuming that anyone writing for that rag is qualified is a big stretch of the imagination.

I think it's pretty much the core of the story, the whole "outrage" thing is all a thinly veiled excuse to let people know she has a bugaboo.

No, I don't get it either.

It's a bugaboo FFS, she must tell the world.

Most babies sleep through music at concert-style volume, unless there's a strong drumbeat. Choir music is unlikely to waken the baby.

Well that's nonsense. If you have rain the child to sleep while real life is going on, then it doesn't matter if the hoover is going, you're at a carol service or you're around the table having a chat. No need to find offense at her bringing the child to a noisy place
