hahahaha I love what andria said, “I tell people that I am pinching her for my own enjoyment, shuts them up pretty quick.” That will go nicely with the shirt I want to make…My last name starts with an “S” and my boyfriend’s last name begins with an “M” so baby’s shirt will read, “Product of S & M”

I’m not sure, that’s a tough one … I know that my own response would be the same – that is, to say nothing … I probably wouldn’t even make eye contact with the person and would not acknowledge them … as they say, silence speaks volumes.

Or you could ask some rhetorical questions like:

WOW, you’re a pediatrician? Where did you receive your medical education and training? Where did you do your residency in peds?

When my daughter was a baby she had a cyst at the outside corner of her left eye. Whenever I would take her out in public people would look at me with those looks… horrible, mean… you beat your daughter looks. She had a ‘lumpy bruise’ on her eye and was just a tiny baby after all.. so it stood to reason that of course I had to have punched her in the eye. I will never forget the last time I put up with it.. I was standing in line and these little old nosy ladies were behind me and I could hear the one whisper (loudly so i could hear it) to the other “Look at that poor little baby, that woman must have really been frustrated, do you think we should do something?”. I calmly turned around and said… “If you would like to see her go through surgery that could possibly blind her to remove the CYST off of her eyes, then by all means you go right ahead, however… I would prefer to see her keep her sight and put up with rude, nasty, judgemental comments and stares like yours.
And I turned my back to the gasps of surprise and smiled to myself all the way home.
Perhaps the comment of “I don’t remember asking for your advice, thank you.” would do it.

I am so sorry for you! My littlest one had colick, and random people used to tell me that ‘he didn’t actually have colick’ and that I was just doing things wrong. Same suggestions. Same stupid people. For Christ’s sake, can’t some of the cool mom’s just come up to you and tell you that you are doing a good job and not to worry. I wish there was one of those nice moms in that store for you…

I think you should just look at the wide-eyed and in your most faux grateful voice say, “Oh my god! Thank you so much! I hadn’t thought of that.” Then scowl and walk away.

Assholes!

Ugh, what nerve!! I cannot stand that….especially those morons who talk to your kid about you or what you should be doing. What the f*ck is that about?!?! Hang in there. The colicky phase will pass and those glowing pregnant ladies will soon get their sleepless nights, crying babies and their own dose of unsolicited assvice. As for me, I’m pretty good at giving dirty looks. I never can think of a comeback on the spot.

I wish I had a really fantastic zinger for you. But I don’t. I suck. And I’ve been there, too.

You could always break down in tears, not so much fun really, but man, it makes those mutherfuckers back off. A crying infant sucks them in like a vortex, but a crying mother of said infant? just screams say something, I dare you.

Okay, so it's not the greatest plan, but I have never been good at thinking of things to say when your stomach feels like lead and assvicers just won't back off. I'm sorry.
