Childfree by choice #5

This popped up on my Twitter feet (annoyingly, even though I don’t follow this person). But Jesus Christ, the entitlement! Maybe, I don’t know… prepare in advance!!? Rather than moaning that you have a baby with you

How stupid do you need to be to not realise that the £1 is a deposit so that you’ll return the trolley properly!! 🫠

What the hell Prepare the damn quid in your pocket before you reach the trolleys, it's not that hard. Calling this disrespectful is hilarious, Karen much?



LMAOO the second tweet is even better, telling people to duck off for suggesting the no brainer solution, unbelievable. Don't want a response? Don't post it on twitter fishing for sympathy and likes. And this issue has nothing to do with having a baby in your arm, anyone can be carrying more than they can juggle and struggle with the trolley. Making it sound like some discrimination against mothers wtf. Silly bint.

If she can’t put a pound in the trolley how will she put her shopping in the trolley, pack the shopping and pay? My mum (and the mums I know) manage to eat, drink, make dinner, make a cup of tea, shop etc one handed I’m not sure putting a quid in the trolley is the hardest thing to deal with.

I don’t even use a pound coin I have a metal charity token on my keyring so I just unclip it, plus you never forget it as it’s on my car key.
Why is even this a drama and what relevance does her kid have to this?

If it’s that much of an issue shop somewhere that doesn’t need them. Around here depending on what town you’re in depends if they need trolly pounds.

Yet again parents thinking the world needs to change for them because they decided to procreate.

Or just ask someone to help. I’ve been asked before to hold a child while the mum puts the pram down on a bus a few times. I’ve been asked to walk a toddler down stairs while the mum takes the pram with the baby in it down with someone helping her do it. Someone in the shop yesterday asked me to pick up her kids rattle thing so she didn’t have to let go of her other child’s hand - no big deal. Ask someone to put the pound in for you if it’s such a massive deal. Go to customer services and ask them to go and get you a trolley. What a drama llama.

This! You can always ask for some help.

This! You can always ask for some help.

Yep! And 99% of people will absolutely help you.

I’ve had to ask random people for help because I’m 5”1 and can’t reach the top shelves. Maybe I should go on Twitter and witch about the supermarket instead….

Haha yes they should make the shelves shorter for you! Jesus that women!

 

[Vroomvroom]

Ahh it’s been such a relief to turn 40 and to stop having people asking me and my husband if we are having kids!

We’ve definitely noticed our social circle as shrunk as so many of our friends have kids now and most of the socialising involves their kids. It’s getting quite hard to make enough excuses to avoid the child friendly events but we didn’t have kids for a reason, so don’t want to spend our free time with other peoples! Luckily we are very close and are happy to do stuff just the two of us.

My husband is tall and nearly every shop we go into someone asks him to reach stuff. He’s also quite ‘sturdy’ so in icy weather older people have asked him to help them across a road or up a steep/bank area. He always helps. I’ve never said no to helping people - just two days ago I helped a disabled man who was having an issue in Asda. People never say no to helping me either. Actually once I was crying on a bus and a woman gave me a packet of tissues, I used some and put them in my bag and then the next week a man got on the bus and then got a nose bleed and I could give him some tissues! Cycles of niceness! People like to do small things to help, it makes them happy.

Also…how long has it been the case that you have to put £1 in a supermarket trolley?! Surely this didn’t come as a surprise to her…

the fact that this woman compared putting a pound coin into a supermarket trolley to being on the crystal maze genuinely makes me wonder how she copes in daily life

like others have said, just ask for help but then i suppose you can’t make yourself a martyr for motherhood then.

I love when people ask me to get stuff on the shelves in shops for them ! I’m not even that tall (5”9) but it makes me feel like super woman

Same - it makes my day and I feel really good about myself I don’t need a child or hobbies, I have my height

Oh dear . Where I’m from, people have put 1€ coins (or previous currency equivalent) in the trolley and nobody has died from that. There are also some keychains that emulate the coin to trick the trolley. She could just hang one of those to her bag and use with one hand while holding the baby with the remaining arm. She could also use one of those kangaroo-style accessories to hold the baby and have her hands free. If all of that fails, asking for help won’t kill her.

Why does this even warrant a tweet though? Some people are just intent on finding things to be miserable about. Get out a bit more Lotty love. It would do you good!

She has a child don’t you know! Clearly she’s the first woman ever to procreate and just HAS tobe a total martyr about it

Maybe she’s starting extremely tiny and working her way up to the massive problems she’s encountered, either that or she’s in for a massive shock

My mum’s friend has two grandkids that are totally spoilt. They are 8 & 11.

The nan will take them on holiday to centreparcs twice a year and when they come home, they go to Smyths to pick loads of new toys because they don’t have a good gift shop at CP apparently

the nan also makes them food at ridiculous times. If they request nuggets at 9pm, they get nuggets, then the other one will want waffles at 10pm so they get waffles… then she will get up at 7am to make them bacon everyday…

When they go McDonald’s they want a nugget meal & a burger, so they get both. If they don’t want the meal in front of them, they get something else

No wonder my mum doesn’t want grandkids, she can’t be arsed with pampered brats!
