Your parenting license. Give it back.

[ShinyGreenApple]

I'm just tra-la-la-ing my way down highway 90, going 45MPH, the speed limit, thank you very much, when Mom-of-the-year, wearing short shorts, a too-tight tank top, and holding a cig tightly between her lips, steps off the sidewalk and proceeds to push her baby's stroller out into the highway. Into the path of my oncoming quad cab. I honestly think if I hadn't swerved, something very sad and unfortunate would have happened. She didn't even look troubled at my actions, and just kept barreling across the other three lanes.

And no, this was not at a crosswalk. One of the few times I feel justified in saying 'What an utter and unbelievable CUNT!' Gawd, people like that just piss me off. Who the hell walks into traffic with a baby stroller?!

*shakes head*

I disagree with the thread title. It implies that she legally got a parenting license to begin with.

In all seriousness, there are no words to describe the level of stupid present in that "mom". Bad parenting stories never fail to piss me off.

I really wish I was making this up:

A couple months ago, I saw a woman carefully trying to get her baby-filled stoller down a flight of stairs, when her phone started ringing...

She let go with both hands to answer....

So did the baby tumble down the stairs?

Mama on the phone: "OMG! Baby just took it's first 17 steps! Kewl!"

she was on a mission to get back to her baby daddy before the court mandated time

I've seen that somewhere.....

That even beats my stories of the idiots who think it's perfectly fine and dandy to fart across the 4 to sometimes 6 lane highway in the village that connects the city I live in to the smaller city my parents live in. Or even better, on BOTH of the main drags throughout town (again, 4 to sometimes 6 lanes total, 45-50 mph speed limits), idiots always trying to cross the highway at peak times.

Ugh. Sounds like some of the people here, usually along Second Avenue in Hazelwood (one of the more "interesting" Pittsburgh neighborhoods). There's a perfectly good *sidewalk* along the road...yet they're pushing a stroller out in the right hand traffic lane, and yelling for people to "slow down"
