Another subway observation

OK, so admittedly I've never had to raise a 3 year old, but sometimes it amazes me how stupid parents are. This afternoon on the train there was a woman, her 3 year old and her mum. The 3 year old was in a buggy covered in a clear cover (as it's really really cold). The train journey is about 15 mins, say 20mins with stops at the 5 stations. The little girls was great for about 10 minutes (which to them must feel like 3 hours), and then she was getting restless. The woman was talking to her mum, then they started playing a hide and seek game...but then she got really restless and wanted to get out. I think I would too quite honestly....

What in the world stops the mum thinking of this and making sure she has games, pens, or SOMETHING to keep the kid occupied.

I had to put up with screaming in my ear.

Weird - maybe I'm just the perfect parent:):):):):)
