My LO had a black eye and she did not say one word about. I was sooooooo upset and called up DH in a rage. I guess it is common to forget these things sometimes. Mommy brain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-make-you-oblivious-to-your-surroundings#post-56162 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 09:21:49 +0000 reggie 56162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg I am the same way with my LO around me- we went to the doctor's office for his 4 months check up and coincidentally a friend of ours came in with her sick toddler... i didn't realize how rude i was until afterwards! we briefly said hi and i didn't even ask about her toddler's sickness! argh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-make-you-oblivious-to-your-surroundings#post-56098 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:56:21 +0000 mrbee 56098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm oblivious even when I don't have my LO with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-make-you-oblivious-to-your-surroundings#post-56090 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:58:39 +0000 Rubies 56090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sort of like that. Someone will start talking to me and I'll try my best to carry the conversation but I've trailed off in mid-sentence and have walked away to change LO's diaper without finishing the convo. Heh heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-make-you-oblivious-to-your-surroundings#post-56085 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:51:41 +0000 heffalump 56085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was oblivious to my surroundings before my LO. </p> <p>I seriously stopped being friends with a girl because I didn't say hi to her in the hallway of high school. Well I didn't see her! I wasn't paying attention to anything, so I would walk right past her and she thought I didn't like her. Then we ended up at the same college and I emailed her to hang out. She asked me why I always ignored her and we had a good laugh. We felt so stupid for ending our friendship! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-make-you-oblivious-to-your-surroundings#post-56081 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:43:50 +0000 chopsuey 56081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I was at a baby's bday a few weeks back and apparently one of the girls there tried talking to me THREE times--asked me questions, etc etc. After we left she went to the host/ess because she was offended that I IGNORED her all 3 times!!!!</p> <p>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p> <p>I totally DO NOT remember her trying to talk to me--First time mom here! I feel SO bad. Never would have thought I'd be oblivious to my surroundings because of my baby! </p> <p>She thinks I'm racist now.<br /> *sigh<br /> Seriously though, I get easily frazzled when I'm in social settings with my LO. Ugh. Can't wait to see her again so I can apologize! </p>
