If you are one of those parents

That sits in the crowded waiting room of a doctors office and speaks to your toddler in a normal "I am at home loud voice" constantly while everyone else is doing the more conciderate "hushed tone"

You are a moron.

Have a nice day.

 

[bresamil]

Tell us the story.

 

[kwillia]

Tell us the story.

But Kimmy isn't here to defend herself...:shrug:

 

[Pete]

Tell us the story.

Nothing to tell really. Sitting there with boy who has a 101.9 fever and feels like crap while goober mommy does the "Samuel, bring the book to mommy" "Samuel, there is the doctor, he is going to call you soon" "Samuel, play with the birdy" "Samuel, look at the pretty baby" like she is in her livingroom at home, breaking the tranquil virus and bacteria filled silence.

 

[nomoney]

listen my little sammy is hard of hearing...excuse me for trying to get him out of his autistic state with stimulating his sensory development :hmmmph:

I sat beside a mother like that on Friday at the doctor's office. I just wanted to hit her upside the head with a rolled up magazine.

I was hoping you'd play it out a little, like the Pete stories of old. Sorry to hear about boy. Hope he feels better soon.

 

[Kizzy]

It could be worse; you could be a resident of Ethiopia and not have a doctor's office to go to. :shrug:

Hope boy is ok.

 

[kwillia]

... like the Pete stories of old.

That 'Pete' seemed to of petered out, huh...

 

[workin hard]

Either that or they are on their cell phone in that volume voice. That is irritating....

That is a good answer because I freely admit I am complaining.

I am sure Ethiopia has rude people too.

"Mumbala, stop counting the babies ribs."

Mumbala, there is the medicine man, he is going to dance around you in just a few minutes"

Mumbala, bring the saltine cracker to mommy"

Lighten up dude. It's not a funeral palor. The solem hushed tones only serve to make the kids feel more uncomfortable.

Hope Boy feels better soon.

Point of order:

I don't think that this should be confined to parents talking to their children.

People walking through a store talking on the phone like this, should also be euthanized: "HI, I'M IN THE BREAD SECTION AT SAFEWAY - DO YOU WANT SOME RYE-TOAST TONIGHT?" Or someone gabbing to their date in a quiet restaurant, "SO I SAYS TO MY BOSS, I SAYS...".

Just about anyone who uses their "outside voice" in a quiet area.



Quick story: I ride the bus to and from work these days. (It's cheaper than gas - plus I'm single-handedly saving the world from global warming - but I digress), and every once in a while, I sit next to a character.

I ended up next to this one autistic kid about 2 weeks ago. I say kid, but I guess he was about a 220 lbs 23-27 year old. He wasn't too bad off, except for the constant fidgeting, and tapping, and he has this thing about touching people's shoes.

Anyway - he didn't bother me.

His MOTHER... What a loud-mouth pain in the dingus. "Richard - don't touch that seat! It's dirty - they obviously never clean these buses." (Bus driver giving her the stink-eye the whole time), and general nonsense like this for 15 blocks. People trying to read, and she's babbling like no tomorrow. "Richard dont' touch that - Richard put that down - Richard leave that guy alone".


Oy-####ing-vey.

Your right, all those babies and toddlers curled up on parents laps snoozing probably liked hearing about Samuels every move.

You left out the part about snoozing kids. That changes the scenario from normal behavior to rude.
