Got on the train and there is some kid of about 3 jumping up and down on the seat. Mum then puts kids on her lap and offers me the seat despite the fact that it is covered in crap.
Eejits!

2/10

Take the seat but shoot her a disapproving glance every time one of the kids makes a noise.

Take the seat but complain on an online forum, that’ll teach her for her not unreasonable behaviour. Later on think about some of the withering glances you could have given her and smile wryly to yourself.

Ask her if there’s anything you do to help. Juggling 3 kids and a train ride she’s probably at her wits end and the kindness of a stranger would go a long way to building a moderately more tolerant and friendly community.

She’s probably stoned as well.

Was she fit? 😆
As in a Yummy Mummy?

Strange thread title – I guess she doesn’t have a train at home and probably doesn’t get strangers walking into her house wanting to sit down though.

Train?

Audi in the garage, I assume.

Although to be fair letting the kid crap on the seat is a bit much, I make them poo out the doors at stations but I’m a good parent.

Why did the kid have crap all over its shoes?

DO you really want to think about what is actually contained with the upholstery of a typical train seat? The kids shoes were probably cleaner.

Maybe she lets kids jump on sofa at home?

How do you know she behaves differently at home?

Why did the kid have crap all over its shoes?

Because of the shit that his parents did that they wouldn’t do at home?

Are kids the last group to be routinely treated as Sub-Human these days?

The general public seem more tolerant to other people’s pets than they do young humans.

I think you’ll find that’s cyclists.

You would think the Op would be more relaxed in general.

He’s given up hasn’t he?

Probably got the shakes and a bit of a ‘cold’, enough to make anyone cranky.

I always let my son jump up and down on the seats on our train at home.

I do almost all my shits at home.

What! Unless you work from home, that earns you nothing.

Dogs are certainly more tolerated / indulged than boys – have both, have seen it in action.

Oh go on then.

Parents who let their kids stand in supermarket trolleys…

Why does that bother you?

Are having fun.

can someone define the “crap” that was on the seat…..a few crisps or a hefty jobbie? asking for my mum

My kid stands in supermarket trollies. Do I sense jealousy? I love going out in public with my son. I get to do all the shit I can’t do when not in the company of a three year old. Chase pigeons, jump on shadows / in puddles and generally act like an idiot.

Middleagedgrumpybastardstrackworld for some of you. No wonder that chap from Sick bikes doesn’t want to deal with us 😉

Why does that bother you?

Because I put food in supermarket trolleys.

My give-a-tossometer registers 3/10.

People also put soap and disinfectant in supermarket trollies. And they spend 50% of their lives outdoors

Trolleys live outside they aren’t exactly sterile?

I see your shoes on seats and raise you the parent who’s brought their screaming six-year-old into the quiet carriage.

There are eleven bloody carriages on this thing, none are full.

You guys are no fun.

School girl error by the mum. She should have let the kid continue to entertain itself jumping on the seat while she texted her mates about Eastenders.

The poor kid might well be dealing with serious issues.

Has anyone ever bought him a power kite or a ceramic poppy?

Because I put food in supermarket trolleys.

Wow.

Are you one of these that buys the cleaners ” with extra germ killa stuff in” and “anti-bacterial” soap, well, just because you never know?

Genuine question, what is a quiet carriage? Sounds rather quaint and Victorian.

Whoa! Reverse quote madness

It’s awesome isn’t it ! 😆

Me and the boy like barking at dogs, making automatic doors open but not going through them (repeatedly)
Waving at buses/lorries/ambulances/fire engines.

And jumping up and down on train seats obviously.

Everything is awesome when you are 3. And it should be too.

As long as the 6 year old isn’t on the phone, quiet carriage is a perfectly rule abiding place.

Am I right in summarising that my kids can shit in the shopping trolley as long as some clean freak doesn’t see then and want to sit in it afterwards?

Because I put food in supermarket trolleys.

So do I, in large carrier bags, which then go in the boot of the car, which has had bikes and boots chucked in it and God knows where those have been!
