Being a parent and a person. Part 2.

I never intended to write a part two to my previous post, but following certain events at the weekend, it seems quite necessary. 

Never have I wanted to punch a complete stranger square in the throat as much as I wanted to on Saturday night. 

Connie’s parents visited us for the weekend, which was fantastic. We hadn’t seen them since the weekend before Christmas, so it was lovely to catch up and even lovelier for them to spend some time with their granddaughter. 

We grabbed a spot of lunch at a little pub called The Telegraph - it seems we only really go there when they come to visit. That’s not on purpose, it just works out for us with the location of the hotel they usually stay at. It’s become a bit of an unintentional tradition. 

Of course, Marla was with us. We had a healthy supply of milk and nappies too - isn’t it crazy that we parents can bring that stuff out with us!? 

At around 4:30pm we headed to a Wetherspoons. There are two in Derby - one which plays music and is quite lively, and another which plays no music and is mostly frequented by people - like us - who just wanted a quiet drink and a catch up with friends / relatives. 

We had a great evening. Marla slept through the whole thing. Were it not for the pram, you wouldn’t have even known she was even there. That was until we stood up to leave. 

It was around 6:45pm and some absolute cow (there’s another C word that I would prefer to use for the woman) decided to loudly pass comment about “bringing a baby here” at such a time. 

Excuse me???

It wasn’t even 7pm. It was only just starting to get dark outside. 

Marla wasn’t bothering anybody, she was asleep. 

Now we’re parents, are we not to leave the house? 

What fucking business is it of hers anyway? 

Even the woman’s partner / owner looked embarrassed. Much like a dog owner who’s mutt had just needlessly snapped at somebody’s ankles. He was mortified. He’ll tell himself that it’s unlike her, but he knows in his heart that she’s done it before, and she’ll do it again. 

It’s probably for the best that she be put down. 

Steve out.

"What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child — it’s the courage to raise one.” Barak Obama Happy Father's day to my Dad @louisviera!! I love you Daddy!! 😘😍😘 I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, biological fathers, grandfather's, uncle's who help raise their niece's and nephews, or spiritual fathers. Mom, Happy Fathers Day. Because lets face it, you're the best dad I've ever had because you did both jobs to raise us single-handedly! I love you Mom. And Happy Father's Day to all mothers out there doing it all! It takes a bad ass woman to be both mom and dad! Stay strong ladies – your kids adore you!! #happyfathersday #iloveyoudad #iloveyoumom #fathersday #beingafather #morethanjustatitle https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxeItolmUrQdOLlvwTht80iqSTUS6NmvGvlB00/?igshid=12if8mhwh0bwk
