Speaking of women, should we not have some sort of x factor judges that decide if women are too ugly and stupid to have children?
Something else that i say "why oh why" to...women!Well not all of them, just the stupid ones that cross a road between parked cars with a baby in a pram. The pram is always first to emerge from behind the parked car with the hapless women oblivious to the danger pushing it...ahhh
Similarly, in Iran they're running a talent contest for wanna-be suicide bombers - semteX Factor.
Ah, in that case then it would have to be called seX factor, surely?Similarly, in Iran they're running a talent contest for wanna-be suicide bombers - semteX Factor.Chris
This is an oft quoted gripe, but what are the real alternatives.One option (that some people do) is carry the child on their back. There are advantages to this, although it of course carries risks if the person should fall, and further it prevents the mother and child from making eye contact, or from the mother from easily interacting with her child in any way.
If it is often quoted, then many people must notice the same thing.
Your option one works, you can carry the baby on your chest. Maintaining eye contact and interacting. This is what i did.
Also, even a lone pedestrian can have trouble seeing oncoming traffic when crossing between parked cars, this has to be worse when you push a pram out first. What is wrong with the mother (or father) pulling the pushchair/pram then once past the parked cars, spinning it around and leading then and only then with the pram?It's not too difficult, is it?

This was first tried in Massachusetts 1692, where it was known as the heX Factor.Quote from: another_someone on 28/01/2008 01:11:50This is an oft quoted gripe, but what are the real alternatives.One option (that some people do) is carry the child on their back.
