If I see this woman I am going to do whatever I can to PISS HER OFF! Stupid moron. I hope her kid craps on her bed........ many times.

a totally misplaced sense of entitlement...brought about by repressed, un-manifested rage against the lack of manners in this city and that's what you get...crazy? no; explainable? yes; acceptable: no!

Oh dear. Somehow I made the mistake of having comments go to my email. Big mistake! These comments are just cracking me up (most of them anyway). This sure reinforces my decision NOT to have children. Back in the day, children were a way to continue the species. Now, with carrying capacity being quickly used up, overpopulation is risking the future of the species as a whole. By not having children, I am not continuing to use up increasingly precious resources. That will do more to insure the increasingly questionable survival of the human species, at least theoretically. We are, after all, all related, human or not.

But back to the baby strollers. Baby stroller unawareness has no race or class divisions in my experience. I'm always amazed at how the baby stroller is the first thing to head into traffic. I do like the baby backpack idea, it seems easiest and safest.

(Also,I'm glad you don't want your precious croth spawn to touch my animals because I KNOW I don't want your nasty little cretin coming anywhere near my cats. Besides,my cats are cleaner than your nasty ass kids.

Oh,and one last thing...F**K OFF. )

Above is comment in Metro. HIlarious. I really am enjoying all these comments here and in Metro as well. LOL

LOL, i wonder if she is reading all these comments.

She commented on the metro's article within the first few comments:

Thanks for the feedback. I think the main point is certain common courtesy that is occasionally missing. It goes rboth ways and I understand all points of views.

I suspect she either isn't, because considering the type of attitude she claims to have - I can't see her actually keeping her mouth shut to all the criticism of her.

But, if she is - Hey Denise! You're a stupid twat!

I was kind of hoping she would post a response here but she didn't. I guess she is all bark and no bite unlike her father.

minus *either.*

What a See You Next Tuesday!

She has done NOTHING to deserve common courtesy, including extending it to others.

If I see Denise Albert on the street (or anywhere for that matter), I will punch her in the face...this, I promise you.

I don't have any children, and

I want to use a stroller everyday,

so that people get out of my way.

It is not illegal to use a stroller

if you don't have a baby.

It is a great tool to increase the

space between you and others.

c'mon 200 comments! more racism! more sexism! More ad hominem arguments!

what is it about white women who give birth in this city? I lived in west harlem for a few years, and I regularly saw tiny hispanic women, -- some of these women no bigger than a ten year old kid, people!, -- picking up their kid in their stroller and walking with complete aplomb up the stairs of the subway entrance. The only women whining for help were always white women. (The gentrifiers no less. Did they think they could move to West Harlem in order to have free servants, I used to wonder?)

What is it with them? It's as if someone forced them to have a baby and they're resentful enough to force us to suffer with them.

I'm a West Harlemite too, and I know exactly what you're talking about! Moms of color have no problem navigating around the city with their strollers - it's only a certain type of entitled upper class White gentrifier mom who demands help rather than doing for self!

you guys sound like assholes and you're making it really hard not to sink to your level.

suffice to say, i think you're making a class issue of entitlement an issue of racial entitlement. which it's not. but go on believing that's what's what. this website/city/country is full of idiots anyway.

I was thinking the same thing. This city has many immigrant young mothers. They're usually Asian or Hispanic. They carry their strollers up the stairs, squeeze into crowded trains, without any rudeness or sense of entitlement. Most of the time other people (including myself) will offer their seat or help them up the stairs. They're always grateful and to put it simply - polite. And that's how most NYers treat them, with politeness, because most of us here are decent human beings. So apologies to all the disgruntled moms who think we should be fretting over you and your brats.

Meanwhile Marv Albert's daughter can actually AFFORD the LUXURY of raising two kids while having a comfortable life in New York friggin City of all places. And all this bitch can do is whine about her lot in life. She must be really upset over her dad's hooker scandal...

sure, let's make it about race!

Comedian: Yo, check this out: black guys drive a car like this. [Leans back, as though his elbow were on the windowsill] Do, do, ch. Do-be-do, do-be-do-be-do. Yeah, but white guys, see, they drive a car like this.[Hunches forward, talks nasally] Dee-da-dee, a-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee.



[Audience howls with laughter]



Homer: Ah ha ha, it's true, it's true! We're so lame!

here's the comment I posted to her article:

====================================================

Ms Albert,

I know your life didn't work out how you wanted it to.

You studied hard all through school, went to college, had a career - but then, society's sexist training kicked in, and when it came time for you and your husband to decide to have kids, it was taken for granted that one of you would give up your adult life and become a full time babysitter.

And, of course, it was YOU, as the woman in the relationship, who had to give up her hopes and dreams, her independence and goals - you had to abandon your adult life to change diapers and watch kids cartoons.

He gets to keep his career, and his job, and now 100% of the family's money is HIS money (because you no longer have an independent income).

With the death of the egalitarianism in your relationship, so died the sex

Of course, HE still has a sexual outlet.

Several actually - like all that porn that you pretend isn't on his harddrive.

Or those "after work business diners" that are actually trips to Scores (and you pretend not to notice the women's body glitter and dancer sweat on his shirts)

Or those "late meetings with a client" which actually involve him being a customer of a professional escort (and you pretend not to notice those $ 2,500 credit card charges to a mysterious PayPal account - or those bruises on his thighs that look like bite marks from a woman who is not you)

And let's not even talk about his personal assistant.

His young, unmarried, pretty, slim, curvy, sexy, Asian personal assistant.... the one that always gives you the stinkeye when you come to visit him at the office.

You pretend not to think about how personally she's assisting your husband...

But you do NOT have a sexual outlet anymore - and your husband nags you about "when are you going to lose the baby weight" (because the strippers and escorts he actually has sex with all spend their free time in the gym - and you don't have free time anymore).

So now, your whole life revolves around your kids, and trying to be the "perfect mommy".

You are filled with rage - but you're SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY - you have the American woman's dream - a husband with a great career who frees you to fulfill your "womanly duty" of being a SAHM.

But secretly, you hate all of it - and, sometimes, late at night, you think horrible thoughts about your babies and plastic bags (...nobody will know - they'll think it's SIDS!)

So, you project this rage at everybody else, folks who had nothing to do with your life sucking.

Look, you could have kept your career and just hired a nanny or (horrors) put your kids in day care.

This is your "choice" - and it's not my fault it sucks.

Blame the patriarchy, not me.

no, it's not awesome. it's misogynist and narrow. it's "she just needs some good dick" redressed. pathetic.
