Whatever happened to understanding?

I started this blog because I wanted to have a place where I could write/ speak freely. A No Judge Zone. I also wanted my readers to have a place to do the same. I want readers of this blog to feel free to criticize, judge, and speak there minds...either about me, my posts, or even in agreeing or disagreeing with what I speak of.
That being said...Someone had to say it, so I'm saying it:

I'm SO fed up with these people! These damn people that walk amongst us.
If your on an airplane and your seated with your child and someone walks in looking for their seat and they realize they have to sit next to you...and more importantly they realize they have to sit next to a baby, they sigh or give this look that screams "Dammit!". Or how about when your trying to cross the street and you have this heavy ass stroller and maybe, like myself, you are a single parent and so you're trying to lift this heavy thing to cross and the damn cars start beeping their horns at you to hurry....even when they see you with a child! Or when you try for at least just 1 hour to gain somewhat of a normal life by going into a restaurant to eat and if your child starts talking (NOT screaming or crying but talking) people around you start to stare at you like they'd wish you'd calm your child down...but you're not in a lounge or a Tapas Bar your in a "Family Restaurant!!!"
What is wrong with these people?
Look. I am a parent. I was never (prior to being a parent) the kind of person that children adored or babysat or even painted the world blue. I do not, baby talk to my child and I still don't paint the world blue or pink for that matter, but I am, non the less a parent. A single parent at that and that's just how it goes and I ADORE my son.
Do you know how difficult it is to be a parent? I can't remember the last time I bathed for as long as I wanted to or I ate food that was still hot or I was able to do whatever I wanted to do. I know that comes with the territory of being a parent (although truth is that comes with the territory of being the main parent, the MOM). But as if life isn't hard enough when you are a first time parent trying to understand the changes occurring within you and around you, or a first time single parent, now us parents get to deal with other people's LACK of understanding. Now we are pushed to the group of "Parents" in which other non parents (not all but a lot)treat us differently, look at us differently, and talk to us differently. I am a parent. I am also still a woman, a sexy woman who still can have a decent conversation or a cocktail at a bar or who could still dance and laugh. I, as well as other parents....mother's mainly, do not need people making our parenting more difficult then what it already is. Please.
So next time you're about to board a plane and you're stuck sitting next to "the baby", try to remember that the woman who's sitting with that baby probably hasn't peed freely since that child was born so cut her/them some slack and try not to sigh or give the look. Or maybe just maybe the next time you choose to date a woman who has a child you can try to understand how difficult things must be for her and if you like her simply be there for her, offer her a set of ears and maybe an occasional "It's gonna be OK" after all there's nothing that a good talk can't fix.
Next time you celebrate Mother's Day really remember what a woman goes through...Don't just say "Happy Mother's Day" with a gift. Say it with some damn understanding.
