Sorry to yell, I just have to vent about this woman at the store today - we were there for about 40 minutes and from the minute we walked in, I could hear a tiny baby crying. And crying. And crying. Finally I was in the same part of the store as this family, and the baby was in her "bucket" in the shopping cart, PURPLE AS A BEET from crying for 40 minutes, and the three women she was with (mom, mom-aged lady and grandma aged lady) were all TOTALLY IGNORING HER!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE A BABY IF YOU WEREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT??? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CRYING IN A PLASTIC BUCKET FOR 40 MINUTES WHILE THE PEOPLE YOU LOVED IGNORED YOU???? Finally, "mom" checked her watch and got out a bottle, saying "Ok, now it's time to eat."

I know I'm hungry only at three-hour intervals, so it makes sense that a baby whose stomach holds like three ounces would be too. And I also know that I only want attention when I'm hungry or have to go to the bathroom. (Would someone please make me a "note the sarcasm" smiley?) I know I'm being harsh. I just can't stand the idea of leaving a baby to cry like that. I don't see who thinks that's good for them.
