Went with OH to doctors today. (I go with him because he is deaf and misunderstands the doctor)
In the waiting room just in front of us was a young woman with a small boy about four. He was really running riot, all around waiting room, shouting, going under seats, coming between our legs etc. She was constantly on her phone, she would occasionally shout out if you don't stop it I will phone bampy. He didn't like that idea so would stop for a moment. Then start again. She told him to stop it again. He told her to FXXX OFF.
she just threatened him again with bampy. (Bampy is another name for Grandad) which made me think maybe he hadn't got a father figure in his life. She never put her phone down. The child eventually played with some toys in the corner. He kept asking his mum some questions which she totally ignored. By now I was getting annoyed, I wanted to tell her to put her phone away and give her son some attention but I chickened out.
After they went in a few people commented on how loud she was and what a nightmare the child was. I felt sorry for him, he had no attention from his mother.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.on the odd occasion when I had to see the doctor and no-one was available to babysit, I'd explain to my 2 that folk are seeing the doctor cos they were under the weather and couldn't play loudly or run around so please think about why others are at the doctors.
Maybe the person she was talking to at the other end of her phone was just giving her moral support?
