Child Item

Precious parents and their new born kids

v638sg7k1a92bx

Is this a recent phenomenon or has it always been the case? I'm beyond this phase in my life but I have friends/colleagues/acquaintances who seem to think that the world revolves around their kids nap or feeding times.

I was invited to a christening and at 11.30am, the mother a child left the christening to bring the baby home because nap time was between 12 and 2pm. So what was the point in having a Christening if you're just going to go home!

A friend invited themselves over to the house to introduce their new baby, she turns up 90 minutes late with the explanation that the child was asleep and couldn't be woke!!! So I have to organise my life around when your 6 month old child decides to wake up???

A new colleague has joined after moving back to Ireland from Australia where the baby was born. She's married with one child and is living in her parents while the house they bought is being renovated for the past year. Anyway, I can hear her chewing the balls off her father and snarking down the phone at the mother if the child isn't asleep at nap time or had it's arse wiped a certain way!

Another one was when we were INVITED over to a friends house, everybody had to whisper because the baby was having their nap and couldn't be woke. Do they not realise that it's a self fulfilling prophecy, if you tip toe around the house then you are creating an environment where the child will wake up whereas if you proceed as normal the kid will adapt to the noise?

What is the matter with these people that their kids are so precious where everyone has to tip toe around their timetable and sleeping habits or God forbid that a child might hear a loud voice!?!

You're probably still looking for a job after finishing your liberal arts degree but when you eventually enter the workforce you'll find that most offices are open plan and people tend to sit it close quarters.

Biology is considered a liberal arts discipline? You must alert the elders, they’ve been treating it as a science!

with an attitude like that you're lucky you get inside their house in the first place

Maybe someone should start a thread about precious adults being upset by children being cared for - maybe it's an attention thing

Attitude like what exactly? Being left waiting 90 mins because a mother didn't want to wake her infant child that sleeps 18 hours a day anyway? Maybe it was the part where I was invited to a christening which the mother and child left after an hour because baby's nap time is between 12 - 2, or was it the part about being invited to someones house and being told to whisper?

Maybe you're right and the problem is me, at what stage did you think I was being unreasonable to these people?
