According to my own investigation, millions of people in the world get the business loans from different banks. Hence, there's great possibilities to find a collateral loan in any country.

LOL! Hmmm. So, if I say hello to you, and you just stare at me, that’s not rude? I really don’t expect you to give a shit that I’m lugging my child with me, but if *I* or my kid says hello to you and you ignore one or both of us, then you are rude.

As is your comment. IRONY.

If I have to talk to you during a transaction or exchange of info or in passing, this does not mean I must give a shit that your lugging a child with you. Rude is putting your expectations out there as rules for others.

Heh. Molested? My first reaction to the description was, “somebody walked in on their parents recently…” Or saw a movie. Or heard something.

But someone who has had a negative experience with sexuality will not, at 2.5, attempt to reinact it.

Kids at 2.5 do very weird things for very very innocent reasons.

It certainly is rude to not acknowlege a baby saying “hi” to you. As you say, they are people after all.

I must be a grumpy pants though, because sometimes I get tired of all the comments my baby gets in stores. It’s all positive, “She’s so cute. Look at all that hair!”, but I get tired of acknowleding them.

And that 2 yr old needs to be taught some boundries.

Ha! I had no idea I’d cause such a stir. And yes of course I was joking, but I do live in the Deep South and SERIOUSLY some people will not wave at black people. Even black babies, who I feel are generally much cuter than their white counterparts. And I wasn’t kidding about dogs either. I think my dogs are freakin’ cute but not everyone is a dog person, and I don’t get all bent out of shape when someone doesn’t want to pet them or whatever. Maybe the people in the store are allergic to babies. Just assume it’s a problem with them, not with you or your (darling) kid.

I personally am flattered when a baby decides that I look like a Good Human Being to talk to. Also, usually children make me laugh like crazy, and who couldn’t use a laugh?

I am also a person who will strike up a conversation, a game of peek-a-boo, or waving hi or high fiving with a small child. So… whatever.

I agree….someone says hi, you say hi back. It’s not hard.

Wow, I am very late to the party (and what a party it was) and I have not read all 105 comments so this may be a repeat but I am very curious about what the mother of the other kid was doing while you were following him to his room to open the door and try to get him off your kid.
I ask this because I find that some mothers are not so good about intervening when kids are playing together (especially bigger kids with littler kids) when we are out at playgrounds and such and just this weekend we were at a indoor play place full of toddlers but this kid that must have been 7 was puching my 13 month old out of the way to play with a kiddy tool bench and then layed on the mat and kicked in the general direction of my kid til I finally picked my kid up and moved him to another area, all the while wondering “who and where is this kid’s parent?”
Anyway, maybe I don’t have the playground ettiquette down but I just thought the parent of the older and/or offending kid should be the one to intervene here and set that kid straight and your story kid of remonded me of that so….. Ramble over.

About RHOC, I also love Gretchen and think she is the real-est and most fun of them all, without being a raging b*tch like most of the others (except Lynne who is too medicated to be a b*tch)

I’m going to skip over all the other comments and go back to #19. “If you want to make a hashtag out of it” is my new retort. I love it.
