Things that new parents do that annoys us

Sappa

So folks we all know the types,new over possessive parents who constantly boast about their little crying machine and they presume we should all change our lives to accommodate them.
Examples having to remove the dog from the house when baby visits.
Not allowed swear around a new born baby like they are taking it all in.
Having to keep music to a minimal in case the noise interrupts the child upstairs.
Being clipped on the heels by a buggy being pushed by a possessed parent on a crowded street and a sharp mind the baby look from them.
Incessant screaming by the child and the patents doing nothing about it when you suggest a solution you get shot down straight away and told you wouldn't understand as your not a parent.
The fear they have when you ask to hold the new baby as if your going to deliberately drop it.
Anyone else know some of these new parents who hover over the child like a fly on **** and only see there space and presume you should change everything to accommodate them,ohh forgot to mention the baby on board signs as if we need to be extra careful not to rearend the vehicle in front because a baby sits in the car as opposed to an adult.

Over possesive? It's their child for gods sake why would they want a dog jumping up or licking a new born baby??(And I have two dogs myself) , of course they are nervous about you dropping their baby you might not know how to hold one or could be an arragant twat and end up hurting the baby , why would they want you swearing around the child should a certain age limit be agreed where it's ok to swear around them and when it's not. Baby'su learn quickly and pick up on everything..start as you mean to go on and all that...it's not that big a deal if these people were friends you'd be happy with their new arrival and respect their wish's when there around come on like it's only an hour or so..

Don't know why anyone would want to have their baby, or anyone else for that matter, around you at all, OP.

Feckin dogs in the house!!
Never mind the kids... When I call, I want them out too !!

Dogs are not suitable to be round strange children, or any children for that matter.. If you don't respect your guests enough to put the dog out, start telling people you'd rather they didn't call..

I don't really know anyone like this to be honest;any of my mates who have kids are pretty relaxed about it, like they'd still have people over for drinks once the kid is in bed.

I do have a relative whose wife refused to let anyone hold their (then) 3 month old baby at a family party. She was pretty viscous about it, despite the fact that everyone their had been really generous with cards/pressies etc when the kid had been born. Funnily enough they split up not long afterwards.

Ok... so I should explain better!

A newborns immune system is not fully developed yet!
Anything (including humans) that has come in contact with an animal, might lead to problems.

Don't see a problem with this.
Some are starting out trying to teach a child a proper vocabulary from day one.
A child is eventually a product of the environment they are brought up in.

TRUST ME! When a new baby sleeps - its a god-damn blessing to parents - many of newborns, are themselves exhausted because of 3/4 hourly feeds day and night!
The last thing they wish for, is for their child to wake while they are also trying to gain some rest/sleep too!

Well maybe if SOME didn't think they own the whole bloody path, this would not happen - other times accidents DO happen.

No excuse - thats just bad parenting and ignorance. They should NOT have a pet, never mind a child.

*

Its quite natural to fear and care for something you cherish.

*

Anyone else know some of these new parents who hover over the child like a fly on **** and only see there space and presume you should change everything to accommodate them,

For first-timers in particular, they might not be able to read from the instruction manual that comes with their child.
They thus have to learn many things rapid as they try to learn and cope.
Give them 'space' and patience to learn!

ohh forgot to mention the baby on board signs as if we need to be extra careful not to reared the vehicle in front because a baby sits in the car as opposed to an adult.

While everyone SHOULD be driving safely anyway, a gentle reminder to do so, is not going to upset your day.
There are bigger things in life to fret about! SERIOUSLY!

These type parents don't annoy me, they provide new lol material.

I was in Tayto park at the weekend with the nephew and saw a mother running over to her kid who was eating the sand/sawdust mix in the play area, she was shouting:

'No Oisin, no' whilst shouting back over her shoulder to the hubby:

'Quick Richard, grab the Yakult!!!'

Forget babies, a lot of the time i go into houses with dogs, the owners have no sense of smell about the ****ty RANK smell of their dog in the house.
They wonder why sometimes i say, "ill wait outside"

Have never ever understood why anyone would want a dog. Filthy smelly animals who lick their own shít and then lick the "loving" owners. Disgusting.

And all this cráp about them being great "companions", bóllocks. They love you for your Pedigree Chum and fúck all else.

Make friends with the children instead, OP. They sound more suited to you in age.

I love my dogs. But they got put outside any time friends/family with small kids visited. The dogs can be overly curious, kids can maul the dogs, some dogs can get jealous. Not an unreasonable request IMO.

I'm not tarring all dog owners as the same as some just like the security of having a dog indoors, but there are plenty who humanise their dogs and see them as a family member in the home, and like the OP think they deserve to be treated the same by guests.
Just look at the The Dog Whisperer and you see most of them haven't a clue how a dog should be treated assertively, especially in the home.
You know the story, they open the front door and the dog is the first to be at the door, like this is my home, i choose who comes in and out.:pac:

The parents who push their child's buggy onto the road blindly to test and see if there are cars coming are the worst.

Er, wot?
Dogs can be great with children, once they're used to each other. Its a case of having an appropriate breed of dog. But of course when there are very small (pre-crawling), or kids who are scared of dogs they're kept apart.

Oh I dunno , having a friend for life , they make you laugh , they pick you up when your down , you can teach them tricks , play football with them , go camping/hiking with them , go running with them , when your lonely they'll always be around to lie on the couch and watch TV with you and what not...it's fairly obvious why people value their dogs , you sir are oblivious to it!

I wouldn't have a problem with that except if you're the type to treat your dog like a human and expect visitors to do the same.

Your dog can talk? Amazing.

Other than that, you just described a person, not an animal.

Anyway, the worst is 15 year old girls on facebook who are proud of being parents and post the scans, a status for every kick, then incessant statuses once the baby's born, including ones about how much dey luv deyr bf 4eva n eva. Then break up with them once they've popped.

Grew up in a house that had one for my first 17 years. I just don't see what the attraction is myself, just another dumb animal.

Interact with humans instead, then there'll be no more lonely nights on the sofa watching Bridget Jones with the dog as company.

The 'baby on board' (and variations thereof) car stickers.

Seemingly, some parents think these never get old.

Say, "we're pregnant" , like really? When did science come up with that?

Hate parents that talk in the goo goo ga ga talk, shut up ffs its ridiculous.

Hate when they hug and kiss the child every two seconds when they are talking to you, leave the child alone, you wouldnt want your mam or dad hugging and kissing you every two seconds would you?

And talking and playing with the children loudly when you are trying to have a conversation with them or others in the room is not cool.

And putting everything the child does up on Facebook is a no no. Who the hell cares if your child rolled over today or sat up or said its first word, hardly the first child in the world to do this now is it.

This I agree with. Maybe they dont actually want the baby and they're hoping someone will take it when they're "not looking" lol
