Excuse me while I go find my tiniest fiddle. I'm not even going to touch the gentle parenting classes and Stanley cups decorating events she tosses in there to sound hip, or the fact that she uses the word "decades" when I have socks in my drawer that are much older than she is.

She all jelly because nobody really cares about looking down at her kid, but they think the dog is gorgeous. That's because people generally love dogs and he probably is a handsome beast. When I walk my dog I get so many compliments on her because she's so pretty and unique (she has a rare mutation that gives her black spots with blue coronas around them like leopard spots). I don't see that happening so often when I see a moo with a stroller.

I note resentment in here as well because she says the dog is "okay looking" (huh?) and she admits she's not a dog lover. To each their own. Too bad she didn't actually like dogs? She could've had one instead and probably would've gotten the attention and validation she so desperately craves. I really hope she doesn't get a dog because it would be nothing more than an accessory to her.

Decorating an overpriced insulated cup and there is a class for that. Maybe they really did crap out their brains with the placenta.

LOL, I wouldn't look at a Stanley cup. My preferred brand is Contigo. It keeps me from spilling on the PC.

CERTIFIED HOSEHEAD!!!

No one is more arrogant towards women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious (insecure..my word) about his virility. Simone de Beauvoir

people (especially women) do not give ONE DAMN about what they inflict on children and I defy anyone to prove me wrong

Dysfunctional relationships almost always have a child. The more dysfunctional, the more children. The selfish wants of adults outweigh the needs of the child.

Some mistakes cannot be fixed, but some mistakes can be 'fixed'.

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. Leo J. Burke

Adoption agencies have strict criteria (usually). Breeders, whose combined IQ's would barely hit triple digits, have none.

Yes, Heather. Everyone prefers a dog over a baby. For obvious reasons, too. If a dog isn't used to people his person will say something to passersby who can still admire the pet. And if we pet the dog because that is okay by the dog/person then there is virtually no danger of the dog puking or crying on us. And it is proven that petting dogs/cats has a soothing effect on people.

And for passersby that aren't dog people there is no obligation for them to do anything anyways. A dog person isn't going to write an article with their butt hurt feelings because their pet wasn't universally admired by the general public.

Most dogs will lap up the attention and seem to be happy most of the time. Babies are so unpleasant that they often cause medically diagnosed conditions that require strong antidepressants and can still lead to a lifetime of regret for the parents. And clearly the public at large (in this case, Los Angeles) have caught on to how unpleasant babies are. The public is becoming sick to death of parents thinking their babies belong everywhere they do and having to deal with clueless parents who drag their babies to inappropriate places. We don't want to smell shit and hear crying when we are out and about. Some of us get migraines from the level of crying of babies. And we also don't want to deal with entitled parents who bitterly complain that everywhere they go in public is not fitted for babies.

Nope, the public is not going to cater to your need for a routine for a baby, we're not going to silence the ambient noise that is a constant because your baby is sleeping, and we're not going to sit idly by while you allow your baby to scream it's head off. Oh and we're not going to be okay with you putting your baby on a counter at a store or with you changing a baby on a dining room table in a restaurant or cafe. There are lots of places that do not have public bathrooms, so all people have to adapt or plan before going into public. If a baby or young children are involved then parents need to plan accordingly.

I'm thinking this is the main issue here. For some reason she expected the public to give her attention and validation because baybee and has been bitterly disappointed. Any parent who does it for the attention/validation is going to be a terrible parent.

"For people to see how adorable my baby is, they'd have to look down, and they don't have the opportunity to do that in this frenzied town!"

But they have opportunity to look down and see the dog, right?

Any excuse not to admit that your baby just isn't that exciting to normal people. We see other humans all the time, and as breeders are so keen to remind, babies are just other humans. There's nothing exciting or special about that.

Yes, that definitely sounds like something I would walk up to and say, "How adorable."

I actually hate it when people want to pet my girl. She doesn't like strangers in general (not unlike me), and because of her breed, kids absolutely love her (because of the movie). I usually have to explain that she's not friendly and not to come near her. It's not a flaw in her. This breed is known to be like that, but it serves my purpose very well because she's excellent protection for me.

I will admit that on very rare occasions, I've seen a very adorable loaf and will smile and tell the parents that their baby is cute, but that's only happened to me twice in my lifetime. Most kids all look the same to me and I couldn't care less.

She's a very large dalmatian. Unusual mutation with black and blue spots, some of which look like blue leopard spots. Very beautiful dog but not friendly by any means.
