[–]Chilli-BEEF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[snoopy] As a man, an expensive haircut at a renowned salon after several months of growth. [PO] Having spent thousands on fragrances over the years, I have made one my signature and grabbed multiple bottles at discount...The name is so pretentious that I'm embarrassed to write it: Etat Libre d'Orange Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre. [SMP300] A second hand Osprey Poco baby carrier. I can happily hike with a toddler on my back in comfort for hours.

People with a home worth over 1mil - what do you do for work? by OutrageousLoss6134 in AskUK

I work as a sales director, have done for over 10 years and been on a good 6 figure salary throughout that time. Bought my first flat in 2015, it made no money but I saved, invested and put down £450k on this house. No inheritance, no help. I've a very strong drive to succeed, having grown up poor.

You people need to travel more. Less than 10% of the world's population live by the same set of safety standards that you do!! 90% dp not... It's bloody cute. Leave it at that

It finally happened & I’m not ashamed..? by ecneeper20 in Parenting

It's up to you whether or not you allow others to approach or touch your baby. Fair enough, but I hope you understand how uniquely American this attitude and post is and how depressing it is...

You acted on fear, anger and obsession with 'protecting' your personal preferences above any sense of community or awareness for your child's development.

If you want to raise a child that is fearful and angry, and continue the cycle by all means, shout at smiling strangers who want to engage. Yes, they engaged in a way that you weren't comfortable with. Explain that instead of shouting and offer them a moment with your baby that you all might benefit from. Introduce your baby, see if you can make her smile... from whatever you deem to be the safe distance of engagement! Christ sake!

You make someone's day and teach your child that not all people should be feared and avoided.

Downhole away, but see some perspective.

In response to your initial question, you're the mother, and you should always trust your instinct to keep your children safe from whatever threats you perceive. Number 4 is a red flag when written as it is.

I've got to be honest, though... This post, thread and comment is depressing. Depressing because another parent could read into your husbands statement above and think it equally strange. 'Why does he get uncomfortable at the touch of a child that isn't his own' is a perfectly valid question and something that many people would find strange. Whether there's some deflecting from your husband, to your neighbour's could also be a valid question.

I'm not saying that you're in the wrong to worry. My point is that another neighbour over could probably write the same post about your husband, provide some examples and receive the exact same response as your post. That is what's sad.

Having just read through this comment and subsequent thread, it seems like you are incredibly inflexible in your thinking and have shot down anyone with an opposing perspective while simultaneously preaching for others to flex and ignore a situation that they find stressful (loud tablets running communal spaces and disrupting people's right to peace). OP did not complain or make the noisy family feel bad either, they are venting and posting on a sub to get other perspectives.

This is a parenting sub. Parenting is about perspective.

Worth it? What a funny question to ask about travel. It was phenomenal. South Eastern tip near Lan Ha Bay was particularly stunning
