Dear Mom at the Pediatricians office....

Dear Mom at the Pediatricians office-
Your daughter is puking into the little tray, while you are on you cell phone. She is probably 3 yrs old- and is sicker than a dog, yet you can't help her hold her puke tray, because you are distracted. You can't wipe the puke off your DDs face, because you are too busy on your call. Hang up your phone and attend to your daughter, so that you can clean her up, and make sure that she isn't dribbling puke on the carpet.

Oh..... and don't take the puke basin to the receptionists- they don't want to see/touch it. Take it to the bathroom and rinse it out like the grown-up that you are.

Thank you.

Oh that poor kid! What an idiot of a parent! Bad, bad mommy!

Wow. That is so sad. I probably would not have been able to stomach that scene. And I most likely would have gotten myself into trouble because I would have said something to her.

OMG - that just makes me want to cry. That poor little girl.

I can only hope it wasn't actually the mom...maybe it was a slacker aunt, bad nanny, evil stepmother, etc...poor little girl!

That's awful. I really dislike cellphones when they are misused to the point that normal human interactions/responsibilities are disabled. I see it all the time. I think the people in front of you have to come first, phone calls/texting/games, 2nd. Seems simple, but soooo many people do not agree, apparently.

That is unbelievable! I'm outraged for her....were other people giving her dirty looks? I can't fathom that scenario!

The other parents were trying not to gag as this poor kid threw up- this kid was in the middle of the waiting room- retching into the little pan.... I had to check my gag reflex as well- and moved more to the other end because I was disgusted- on a few different levels.

OMG. This makes me so sad & mad. I can't even imagine it.

[MamaMolly]

Poor thing. That is terribly sad!
