stroller bitches!
I am so sick and tired of hearing people bitch about parents with strollers on the bus. Do you seriously think that we enjoy having to cart our child around in a huge ass stroller? No we don’t! Do we have a choice? I don’t!!! Our children are the most im

Thats what I’m sayin!
It is not our choice or fault you had children, so the “poor parent thing” don’t fly. Yous should allow people without strollers the right of way. You are the inconvenience not us.
Perhaps not you but other mobile mommas make it next to impassable. They have a baby, they are entitled to inconvenience every other person on the bus. I think not inconsiderate cunts.
There are other options. Slings being a good one. Baby Carriers etc. You dont always need to have a large vehicle just for your child. the safest place for a child to be is as close to you as possible. stuffing them in a stroller isnt always the best choice
are your damn huge ass strollers necessary? i remember the day when stollers were little tiny things….about a foot and a half wide…now the fuckin things are gargantuan gocart size monsters.
being a parent is hard…no doubt. but it was your decision. so do not hold your choice over our heads and feel it makes you somehow entitled to things over and above the rest of the non-child rearing populace.
“It is not our choice or fault you had children, so the “poor parent thing” don’t fly. Yous should allow people without strollers the right of way. You are the inconvenience not us.”
That’s what I think when I see a handicapped person cost me time on the bus. Fuck them to am I right *raises hand for high five* I mean fuck anyone that would cause me to be inconvienced one milisecond because I am big and important and high and mighty right? I mean don’t question bus design where the isles that allow for such things are in FRONT instead of in BACK so that traffic can flow easier. No that would be too easy.
I say only able bodied pretentious twats that have no prospects of having children because they will be an inconvience to everyone else should be allowed on the bus. Who’s with me?!?
selfish selfish selfish ignorant people… i hope someday you wind up in a wheelchair and have to get the bus and have people hum and haw because YOUR stupid ass is an inconvienience to them!!! what the fuck is wrong with you people did you not have parents o teach you how to be an established human being?? all the bitchers disgust me… seriously take a look at your lives… you’re fuckin pathetic!!!
wow way to be mature about it waw. your parents sure done did raise you up right.
and @ gimpysaviour…i dont think it has anything to do with the non-handicapped or no-child having people feeling high and mighty…in fact i think its the opposite…that maybe no one should be placed above anyone else.
and yes your point about having some room at the back or front for the suv sized strollers maybe…or would be at the back be seen as a terrible offense?
and maybe in your comment deriding so called “pretentious twats”, if you didnt resort to childish name calling you may appear more mature and worldly than us twats.
oh and simply because one does not have kids doesnt mean they dont have the ability or means. its a choice.
One word: condoms!
As a parent I have a solution. As for myself, I HATE HATE HATE Strollers. Hate pushing my little girl around in one. So, I did the thing that takes up less space, but requires effort on my apart, I wear a “Snuggly” Not only is she not in a giant baby wheel barrow, but she is close to me, close to my heart. Strollers are kinda lazy, seriously, bear the weight of your child and strap them to yourself. its loving, and comforting. Oh? Your kid is too big for that? Well lets work those legs and get them to walk! Fight childhood obesity and get your fucking 4 year old on there feet. don’t want to wait up for them? worried about them wandering away, get a leash. Seriously, a cute unicorn backpack with a tether is wonderful! Inhuman you say? Well so are kidnappers and cars hitting kids. So, don’t complain to me about strollers, I am a parent and proud of my child, so I don’t need to push them around in whats essentially a shopping cart.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Too bad most of the parenting population doesn’t agree with you Kit.
Hear hear Kit!
I’m not a parent, but I have much younger siblings whom I used to love taking on outings when they were babies. I would use a small fold up stroller (the kind that are basically hammocks on a frame) to push the kid around in, and when I had to take the bus, I took the kid out of the stroller, and held her on my lap, with the stroller folded up, out of the way. If I could do this at 17 years of age, with a kid that wasn’t even mine, surely to gawd moms can do it too. It’s all about common courtesy.
