Advice

While I was out and about yesterday, the baby was having a bit of a cry in her shoulder. Nothing massive, just a bit whingey.

"Is she hungry?" I was asked.

"No no," I responded lightheartedly (like getting asked this sort of stuff by random people is just no biggie), "she just ate. She just wants to be held."

"I don't think she wants to be held. I think she just wants her mummy to look at her and talk to her."

This sort of 'advice' is not helpful.

Particularly when you are a stranger.

In the chemist.

Where you work.

And you're a man.

And a rather flamboyant one at that.

I don't mean to be rude (although I don't know why I'm minding my manners now!) but that sort of 'advice' is not helpful.
