A friend recently told me that her daughter (who is a tad overweight) was getting fitted for a dress, and the seamstress made a comment to the girl's mother (within earshot of the 10-year-old girl)along the lines of that maybe it was time to cut back on serving desserts. The girl was understandably devastated, but her mother was beyond livid.orthomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263941672605864501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1156661280259566552006-08-27T02:48:00.000-04:002006-08-27T02:48:00.000-04:00Quite a story at the pool.

At least once a month, during our Shabbos walk back from the park my daughter will get too tired to talk and start complaining and crying (she's 4) that her feet hurt. I end up carrying her and I'll pass someone who will say something like, "I think it's time for someone to take a Shabbos nap." OK, enough venting, it is Elul. lolNeil Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797772082427806345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1156425495707074582006-08-24T09:18:00.000-04:002006-08-24T09:18:00.000-04:00Aishel-That was funny.

Ever been on a bus in Jerusalem with a child in hand? 40 women know better than you. I am convinced 25 of them are simply riding the bus for the sheer entertainment and pleasure of piping in with self evident comments and criticism<BR/><BR/>And you cannot begin to comprehend the pleasure and sheer schaudenfraude they get from seeing a child with a MAN !!! Isn't there a law that no child should ever be in public unless escorted by a woman? Doesn't matter if she is a complete stranger and he is the child's father, she is still a woman!<BR/><BR/>you should be wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1156396789321504472006-08-24T01:19:00.000-04:002006-08-24T01:19:00.000-04:00Reminds me of this cartoon:-DReminds me of <A HREF="http://www.transmogrifier.org/ch/comics/94/05/29.gif" REL="nofollow">this cartoon</A><BR/><BR/>:-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1156377967574813722006-08-23T20:06:00.000-04:002006-08-23T20:06:00.000-04:00MominIsrael-You deserve to be on the blogroll, esp...MominIsrael-You deserve to be on the blogroll, especially with the last few posts that were absolutely fantastic!<BR/><BR/>Esther-Looking forward.Orthonomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892074485262548496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1156373439559324082006-08-23T18:50:00.000-04:002006-08-23T18:50:00.000-04:00I got the chance to do the opposite today.

So of course we made conversation and I asked how old her baby was. She said that she was actually two years old but still enjoyed nursing. I can imagine how many remarks this woman has gotten about that. So instead I told her how wonderful I thought it was that she was so commited to doing what was right for her baby. I have to admit that I may find it a bit odd (especially the pumping twice a day) but who cares? It's not my business and obviously it works for her. So I hope I was able to make this woman feel good by being positive about her choices.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, I'll come back later and post actual Drive by Mothering stories too. =-)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546504942311091442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976303.post-1156371142228740632006-08-23T18:12:00.000-04:002006-08-23T18:12:00.000-04:00I had a similar situation in the park a few weeks ...I had a similar situation in the park a few weeks ago, but I didn't even attempt to get her dressed. Rather, when I did, she just removed her clothes again. I wouldn't let her play and she stayed near me on the bench. When we saw a neighbor she decided to cooperate. She's 2.5. Fortunately nobody said anything to me. A common method of toilet training in Israel is to let kids go around outside without pants. And there aren't public bathrooms in parks here, either, as a rule. So naked kids are no big deal.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you were at the pool, not the park. Who cares if a toddler is naked at the pool? Criticism like that always gets to me, though, even when I know it's not justified.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
