Why do these old ladies insist on being so rude?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701455 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 11:37:32 +0000 BSB 1701455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. I'm so sorry. I would want to punch her, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701453 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 11:35:20 +0000 MrsB2012 1701453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had this a few times as well, either in my Tula or Olives and Applesauce, both are ergonomically correct and very comfortable for baby. In Costco ( what is it with Costco? ) I was standing to the side putting my card away and this older lady stood like right in front of me and was saying to her husband, " ugh, that poor baby, why do these young mothers insist on doing things like this. Look how uncomfortable that baby is." I'm the most unconfrontational person ever so I didn't say anything but I really really really wanted to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701431 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:59:42 +0000 Espion 1701431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: @grizz: Unbelievable. Practice this in your brightest voice: "Thank you for your uninformed and absolutely rude opinion!" And then walk away. </p> <p>@grizz: Bonus points, because you can say "Bless your heart!" instead of "thank you". &gt;:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701421 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:49:51 +0000 .twist. 1701421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: lol! I have trouble remembering to let L breathe! </p> <p>Wow! Some people. I don't even understand what is wrong with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701407 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:31:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 1701407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: ummmm wtf? </p> <p>@grizz: also, wtf?</p> <p>Where would we be without the peanut gallery? We would forget to let our babies breath, not put them down to crawl on the floor in a dirty grocery store... </p> <p>I had c in the moby when she was around ten weeks or so. A lady came up and told me how nice it was to see her facing in and that she thinks it's so horrible when she sees people wearing their babies facing out. I was like, well, thanks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701401 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:26:40 +0000 StbHisMrs 1701401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: She made a remark about her looking like she couldn't breathe too. So rude!<br /> @wonderstruck: &amp; @Applesandbananas: Yes, I used this carrier for our 2.5 year old (except she hated it, so we used like five times!) I did a ton of research before purchasing the gemini. I tried to tell her that, she didn't want to hear it. </p> <p>@Modern Daisy: I love my carrier, and she's so happy in it :)<br /> I hope your LO ones loves it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701324 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:09:06 +0000 Modern Daisy 1701324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a becco gemini too and I am waiting for this! People have given me nasty looks but no one has actually come up to me yet. What's funny is my pediatrician TOLD me to wear him facing out, lol. So I guess these people know better.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701313 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 07:55:25 +0000 JerricaBenton 1701313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uggh people can be awful. </p> <p>@grizz: I've had someone say the same thing to me when I was carrying LO in the ergo in the grocery store. I was like 'yeah she's been walking for months but thanks!' And who the heck lets their small toddler walk in the grocery store? You'd never get that comment if they were riding in the cart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701289 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 07:17:04 +0000 Applesandbananas 1701289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: "But there seems to be a high correlation between people who criticize strangers and people who haven't done any research so they actually don't know what the eff they're talking about!" Yes, this!!</p> <p>@StbHisMrs: I don't do much baby-wearing, but peanut gallery comments are the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701262 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 05:55:22 +0000 wonderstruck 1701262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ironic that people using proper carriers (wraps, Gemini, Tula, etc.) seem to get more criticism than the Bjorns! It's like everyone is just used to those but, uh hello, those are the ones that research have actually shown to not be so great. Not that I would walk up to a stranger and tell them that! But there seems to be a high correlation between people who criticize strangers and people who haven't done any research so they actually don't know what the eff they're talking about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701203 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:52:46 +0000 Bubbles 1701203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a few different people come up to me before while wearing my DS in the wrap and say 'I hope he can breathe!' Yes he can breathe thank you very much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701195 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:40:23 +0000 Ginabean3 1701195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!

Good grief, some people really just need to shut the hell up!! I wonder if these two are related ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701183 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:28:01 +0000 googly-eyes 1701183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: @grizz: Ugh how annoying!!

I was so blindsided by it that I couldn't think of anything witty to say.

How will he ever practice?" </p> <p>Uhh, he can't walk yet but thanks, ya nosy biotch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701180 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:23:02 +0000 HLK208 1701180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. Who in the world says something like that? Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unsolicited-advicecriticism#post-1701178 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:15:09 +0000 StbHisMrs 1701178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom and I were at Costco today and I wore C (10mo)in my Becco Gemini facing out, she was happy, laughing, kicking... This lady comes up and says "you know, I just saw on the news that your carrier kills babies, I mean look her nose is smashed. You really shouldn't be using that. Those poor babies that died. Oh your baby looks older and can move her head. Oh, you should look it up online." </p> <p>I thought my Mom was going to punch her in the nose!! It was a one-sided conversation that went just like that. So rude!!! </p>
