Brillant rant, totally agree.. Those “baby on broad” badges or signs are pointless. you can tell if there are kids in the car and if you are pregnant why not ask for a seat. you are pregnant you haven’t lost your voice…!

Oh, I totally agree with you on ‘we’re pregnant’. No you’re bloody not. Only one of you is.

As for the badges, I’ve often played with the idea of getting a badge made saying ‘I have menstrual cramps, give me ya seat ya big porky city dude.’ But you’ll be pleased to hear that I’ve restrained myself… xx

agreed.

i’ve often thought having a baby on board sign on your car was just asking for your kid the be kidnapped. I’m just sayin’…

oh i luv (!) reading your posts and it is always worth reading till the end. i had to LOL (!) about the idea of making a badge of crochet!!! here is an idea, a well loved creative blogger in vienna (betty) is just making a jacket of tiny crochet ‘badges’ http://bettysbox.blogspot.com/2010/01/pbstag-6.html (the idea comes from the movie bright star and the model for the jackt is show further up at the right side of her blog). it is hard for me to imagine how a human being can crochet some 1000 circles and then stich them together! but i am sure it will look brilliant. as would your badge! ps i had hardly started with posting photographs on flick whem our damn line crashed again (due to frost?), so i will probably only make 52/365 like one a week or so. will you dismiss me from the busy group? i hope not. ;-)

I found that the easiest way to get a seat when I couldn’t make eye contact was to faint – people got me one very quickly … oh or just asking

um… hmmm…. well… I’m with Bambi. What the heck to I call him to keep him anon? He hates that I talk about him at all! His alter ego used to be known as A**hole… Don’t suppose that is appropriate. I will have to think on this! I love your rants! Buttons for Preggers? And we Yanks have a rep for being silly! That’s funny!

Oh Spud, how I love thee. I am so glad someone said it. I HATE the word hubby. I hate is ALMOST as much as “my other half” and (even worse) “better half”. Other half? Are you half a person?? #!!@**!!?%

On the other hand, I have always thought “we’re pregnant” was kind of nice because it implied involvement of partner. However, I concede that I have yet to carry forth offspring and my point of view could change.
