I thought it was fascinating, course I'm not around little kids all that often. And the idea of this pig letting her kid get that dirty and doing nothing about it is just nasty. I mean if my kid was that rancid after a day at the fair I'd at least find a bathroom to give the tyke a little field scrub but that's me. I've been told I have a small thing with germs! 😷

Well, thank you!
And yeah, I was horrified. I have a little germ thing as well--I once decided to count the number of times a day I wash my hands, and lost count after fifty and that was around noon so I hadn't even gotten into something like making dinner yet, where I wash them constantly--but even without that, and even knowing that babies and toddlers can be kind of gross, I was really shocked. Sure, the kid needs a bath, but you should be able to clean her up right here, too. You should have been cleaning her hands and face after everything she ate, ffs, that's just what you do. I can't count the number of times I've done things like wipe snot off babies's noses with my bare hands because it was about to reach their mouths or something (and then washed my hands, of course), you just...you keep your baby as clean as possible and worry about yourself later. You don't leave a little one with sticky dirt everywhere and shrug like there's nothing you can do, that's what baby wipes and tissues and such are for.
(Babies are gross, lol. It just doesn't seem or feel gross because they're so adorable and sweet, but objectively they can be pretty disgusting.)

I was really stunned. I remember taking Older to a convention when she was around that age and just spending most of the day trying to amuse her and make sure she got to play and walk around as much as possible, but the fat didn't even seem to care. Just kept shoving food in front of her.

Fat moms are disgusting but you're super creepy about kids and come off as super judgmental. This story is just you bitching that a toddler's hands were too dirty. "gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die"
[–] DorothyMantooth [S] ago
It would be nice if he could. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. Before I met her and realized she's a pig I felt awful for him, how devastated he was/is at the thought of her leaving and taking Baby with her, but yeah, now I think thy'd both be better off.

"So that was a street festival with a fat: she ate a lot, she barely smiled, she sat down whenever possible and complained when she couldn't, she ignored her baby for long stretches of time and just kept shoving food at her (waaaaay more food than a baby that age needs or should have), and she didn't even seem to think it might be a good idea to try to clean the sticky food residue and dirt off her baby before the baby ate again with those same sticky hands." This is a great summary of every fat cow mom.

That poor kid.... The dumb bitch doesn't consider what a gift she has.

Oh man. I hate children with a burning passion, but the only thing I hate more than children is child abuse and neglect. Obviously this lady is a cunt but what was her husband doing this whole time? Did he have his thumb up his ass too? God you probably could have swapped the kid out for a doll and no one would have noticed.

This is a great point. Behind every useless mother is a spineless, or worse, absent, father

No, he tried; he paid more attention to Baby than his wife did, and I saw him kind of trying to rub her little hand once, like trying to rub the dirt away, but he seemed to be trying to do it where the fat didn't see him. They have a very complicated situation right now where he is trying to get his own business going so is not home much, and I know she's talked about leaving him, so I think he's trying not to make waves so he can still at least have his daughter at home with him.
I'm not making excuses for him, because he certainly could have asked for a wipe and cleaned her up, too, and believe me aside from his pigfucking I still know he's not an ideal father, but he tried harder than she did. (He's also a vet with confirmed kills that he still has nightmares about, so I do tend to make more allowances for someone who sacrificed and fought for our country, I admit.) I think he's just more clueless about babies, like most men who don't get to be as involved as they'd like to be. (And as far as me chasing Baby down and such, he knows I've been offering for over a year to babysit and telling him how I'd love to meet Baby, so I think he was letting me do it so I could get to do it, whereas his wife was doing it because she was a lazyass, if that makes sense? The dad is my friend, knew how happy I was that they were bringing Baby, and wanted me to have fun; his wife barely spoke to me and didn't seem delighted to meet me or anything [typical fat meeting a thin woman] so I don't think she was generously letting me cuddle and play.)
