Dear mom in the baby changing room.

Dear fellow mom in the baby changing room at our local shopping centre,

That friendly smile and nod just did not do it for me. Could you not see the absolute disbelieve and anger in my eyes? Could you not notice the tears on my boy's cheeks? And could you not hear them crying ( more correct screaming) while you were having you 10 minute long telephone conversation in the baby changing room?

I am sure your kid will never cry like that because she has a runny tummy and nasty nappy rash due to teething. No, she is just so perfect in her little boutique dress and top of the range Jeep pram - the cuteness just oozes. And I am sure you needed the room for the 2 minutes it takes to change her nappy - but did you really have to have a heart to heart with your best friend there and then. As if it is the most comfortable and attractive area in the world. For 10 freaking minutes! And ignore my hammering on the door and crying kids?

Sincerely, the mom with two boys with runny noses, tummies and an impatient 3 year old.

Today I am thankful for good quality nappies. Enough said!

  11. Sorry to hear this happened to you and the kids. I don't get it sometimes. Give the kids hugs from me and have them give you one too. Hope they feel better soon.

  21. :) I remember trying to buy some clothes that fit me after I had my baby girl. It was one of our first outings. She would NOT stop screaming. I was having issues nursing... and I ended up sitting there crying in the dressing room, nursing my fussy baby, in my frumpy maternity clothes, with piles of clothes around me that I never got to try on.
