This evening:
A: Are you drowning my baby?
R: No, she's doing it quite effectively by herself.

Overheard in a queue for ferry check-in on Saturday morning:
Are there any fucken muslims here?
I was deligh'e' when they shot that fella yesterday.
They should bomb the fucken mosque, that's be a pleasant change.

Seen, not overheard, on the ferry on Saturday: A woman pouring Coke (Coca-Cola) from a labelled bottle into a toddler's bottle, the kind with a teat, like for drinking formula or milk.

Coke

The same woman must have been in town this afty. I was horrified to see her buy a bottle of diet coke in Woolies, take a few sips & then pour the remainder into an avent bottle & give it to a baby about Holly's size & age (ie 7 months!!!!!!)

God, I'm such a "good" parent as Holly has only had breastmilk, formula milk & cooled boiled tap water. In an ideal world, she wouldn't have had formula milk either, but diet coke is unbelievable.

Perhaps she chose diet coke so that it wouldn't hurt the baby's teeth?!

Now that, in my world, is child abuse. Getting a baby/child into the habit of soft drinks or sweet stuff is just so far beyond wrong. I often tell people about K and the Cadbury Creme Egg when she was 3 months old. It's amusing now, but I was horrified at the time that my mother would even think that it was an acceptable thing to do (Mum had her while I had to follow the ambulance with her father in to hospital for emergency appendectomy, I got back to mum's to find K contentedly suckling on a CCE... "It was the only way I could keep her quiet." FFS! I'd left a couple of bottles of breast milk She was only 3 months old!).
