Seriously....some people just...wow

So I am at the park with DH.  And for some reason this little boy just wants to be next to me lol.  I do not have my kids with me (we were doing a photography fun project).  This little boy is very dirty and MAYBE 3 but really wants to hold my hand.  So the mom asked me if it was ok and I said yes.  So fast forward 20 min or so later and this lady comes up and says "wow you are really great with him, I never really wanted to be a mom....actaually I took the day after pill with him a couple of times and it failed, so now I am a mom".  Indifferent

  • ......

    What do you say to that?

  • AARGH! And then there are tons of perfectly nice, healthy, sane people who struggle for months and years and put themselves through all kinds of medical treatments in an effort to be parents. Disgusting.

    Did you give her a dirty look? Cuz I might've gone crazy on her.

    After 22 cycles and 4 failed IUIs, Serafina joined our family through IVF/ICSI, born 8.28.12
    Surprise! The Sequel is due 12.8.14!

  • I think would have been speechless and seriously WTF!

    I bet the kid knew you would be a better mom then his own. kids, even babies realize those things.Sad I hope for the child's sake his mother wakes up and sees what she has, the greatest gift a woman can have.

  • Wow. Who says something like that to a complete stranger? It is bad enough to say it at all...

    Did you offer to take him home with you?

  • I went from smiling to a totally straight face.  She said all this infront of this little boy and my heart just sank!  I seriously asked her if she ever considered adoption, she said yeah kind of.  I then told her how I went through 5 years of fertility tx for my first daughter and 3 for my 2nd and that I knew that someone just like me was out there and would love to have him.  I was amazed that I actually said that because that is not like me.  DH just stood there and didn't say a word.  She wanted to continue to talk about how miserable her life was but I just couldn;t stand there and listen to her about her abusive BF and how hard it is to be a single mom and how little the state helps her.  So I simply wished her the best and left......I so wanted to take that little boy with me.  I was sick to my stomach the rest of the day and needless to say....photography project DONE for the day.

  • I don't even know what to say.  I probably would have called Child Protective Services and told them to call me if they take him... that breaks my heart.
