I've been finding that when i go out with L lately and salespeople and strangers on the street/in stores who want to ooh and ahh over him gets really annoying. Like I want to move on with my day and they slow me down sometimes. I think I get the most annoyed at Walmart because when I go there, i want to get out as fast as possible and sometimes almost every aisle i go down, someone has to smile or ask how old he is, or try to make him smile and I have to stop and wait for them to be done. And I am thinking "i want to get out of here before his next feeding!" Last time I went to Walmart, I made a decision not to stop for anyone, but it was hard! Especially when I passed by the old lady in the wheelchair smiling at him. I also noticed that i get more attention when I am wearing him, which I do in stores like walmart so i can push a cart around, not to get slowed down by passerbys!

I also got annoyed when I sat down on the subway once next to a man and L was in his stroller. I had about a ten minute ride and i wanted to read my book! When else do I get ten minutes to sit down and read?! And this man started talking to me about "how fast they grow up" etc. So I felt it was rude to ignore him but I wanted to!

Anyone else feel this way?
