Mums on their phones

I just wish that phones were not allowed on buses. You get on and someone inevitably witters on and on all the way, loudly. I don't want to hear all their trivia broadcast to one and all. Apologies for being a misery.

I totally agree re young mums on phones, surely it isn't too much to ask that they can take their attention away from them and actually interact with their children!

I was driving friends back to their house a few days ago when we noticed a fellow on a bike with a phone held to his ear. His bike was wobbling as it was controlled with one hand. I was pleased to overtake and leave him behind. This was a road in London so not a country lane.

IMO nobody seems to talk to anyone, and don't get me started on Pokemon !!!

I'm seeing this all the time.
Mum with a buggy gets on the bus, sits down, gets her phone out and spends the whole journey ignoring her child as she is gossiping on the phone. The child tries to speak to the mum but is ignored. You see it everywhere, in parks, cafes, on trains. Don't mothers speak to their children any more? Don't they look out the window and show the child interesting things outside? I used to do that. The children are not learning communication skills at all as the mums are not interested.
Don't bother speaking to your kid, give him a pack of wotsits to keep him quiet till you get home and stick him in front of the telly. So sad.
