not the above the seat ones...it is at the front of the bus. The dad was sitting close enough that he could reach out and touch the baby. So I actually wasn't judging for safety reasons, just why would you choose to leave the baby there reasons.
You mean that area right to the left of where you get on the bus? Shut up and stop whining
I didn't read all five pages of... I don't even know, but I am going to say I have seen parents do that on my own bus route. It is very wtf, because there are no rails. It is basically a little self in the front of the bus meant for small suitcases and such. While there are seats right next to it, if the bus suddenly stops and you don't have a hold of that baby carrier, your child is going straight into the front window.
On another note, those dolls are fucking freaky in a scary and lolz way.

Oh FFS. I said Buckwheat because it is funny. I honestly had no idea it was racist. I know the term from the Little Rascals and Eddie Murphy joking about it on SNL. However, that is all I'm going to say about that. I've seen how it goes down around here when someone claims they didn't know.
I almost typed "hammer toe" instead. Guess I should have gone with that.
And as for the comments about not coming back. LOL for real. I had some stuff come up. I said I was leaving. Who knew I should have rushed back?
And now just to be on the safe side, here is what is going on for the rest of the night and into tomorrow.
Tonight: finish laundry, clean up a bit, brush my teeth, go to bed, and read for a bit Tomorrow: The kids have some stuff going on in the morning. Classes, etc.
So, if I don't run back and post again, feel free to jump to conclusions.
It stands upright by itself with a kickstand type thingy. So the parents could set it down on the floor of the bus beside them and have a ready-made little seat for baby.
We have one of those and there is no way I would go through the process of unbuckling everything to take the kid out, provided they are not fussing, just to have to put them back in when we get to our stop. It's not like taking a kid out of the Ergo or Bjorn

TOTS called Que Buckwheat? I don't get how this is racist. Dumb, unfunny, irrelevant, and old people humor maybe, but how is it racist. I just don't get it.
Also I didn't read this thread ala Scotty. So if I'm talking out of my ass then allow me to *trip the light fantastic right out of this post*

Buckwheat is a racial caricature.
I suppose you could consider it "old people humor" in the way that old people like to "insult" another white adult by calling a white person a black child with an unkempt afro.
It's not unlike using "gay" in a pejorative manner (i.e., to mean "stupid" rather than "homosexual").

I've only been half paying attention around here lately so I could be wrong, but I think the consensus is that in these situations you're supposed to just break the window.
