Very Funny. I would have walked away too, but stored everything up for my husband when I got home. He gets railed on sometimes for other people actions. That's how I roll. He loves it.

I swear that is the wierdest feeling but precious at the same time. Congratulations on your family's new addition.

(our possums are cute, not rodents!!) Although I'm not preggers, I had the same thing on my short flight home yesterday. Two wailing bubs (twins, both Mama and Dada were there). I so wanted to console, help, cuddle - at the very least assure them there was one person not grimacing at them harshly. Even if parts of me were yearning for the wee bubs to be consoled by something. Anyhoo ... congrats!!! Congrats possum! (our possums are cute, not rodents!!)

I would have had a very difficult time with that, too. In fact, I've been there. Blah. “Knock on wood it won’t be an ‘it’”– funny.

I can't handle babies crying when there is no good reason. I can't imagine not trying to comfort the baby at all... just letting it sit and cry when you're not busy. Heck, it kills me when I'm unavailable and the baby is crying - like when the toddler is covering me in throw up or some other such euphoria-inducing mommy moment. My husband lets my baby cry sometimes and it bugs the heck out of me. I just don't understand not wanting to comfort your child. Congrats on walking away, but I certainly wouldn't think any less of you for butting in. Not me, since I would be sorely tempted to butt in myself. Why weren’t they available before?
