Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
I have had hours to let this sink in and process. I am not sure why my reaction time was so delayed - but I am PISSED!
DH slept in today - it was gorgeous out - so I packed up DS in the stroller and walked down the steep hill that is our street, to the park one block down at a ...
Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
I'm sorry. I've dealt with my fair share of it. I try to just keep my mouth shut or yell that I'm married and keep walking but it does get really annoying. Sometimes being confrontational in those sort of situations can make the situation worse though and can sometimes be dangerous for...
Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
i probably would have done the same as you did. having my son there and all... there was one occasion when a lady made a comment about me and i was too shocked to say anything but then turned around a few minutes later and gave her a peice of my mind, but that was in my angry pregnant ...
Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
I think you did the right thing. It would have pi$$ed me off too and I am generally out spoken and can stand up for myself just fine. BUT you had your baby with you and I think it was more important for you to just remove yourself from the situation safely. I would have done the same ...
Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
I would have done the same thing if I had my kid with. What happened when your DH went down there?

Next time take a recorder or camera with you and if they say anything immediately start recording and then call the police.

What happened when your DH went down there?
I would have ignored them and kept walking. I wouldn't have wanted a confrontation with my 8 mo old involved.

Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
Sorry that happened to you mama, I probably would have done the same. I probably would have been scared to say anything thinking they would follow me home or something lol.
Glad your DH said something, and I hope you don't have to encounter them again, but if you do and they act up I'd ...
Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
Maybe I overreacted with my anger, but at the same time, it is so unacceptable when men think they can get away with saying that crap. What if my babe was old enough to comprehend what he was saying, kwim? I really want DS to grow up respecting women and treating others with kindness ...
Re: Harassed While Walking Home from the Park Today!
i agree with ignoring and walking away, especially when you have a kid with you.
however, the only other thing that came to mind - if you would have said something, they would probably keep saying stuff to you. kind of like a little kid...
how far can i push her before she gets pi$$...

I don't know how sexual harrassment cases work outside of a workplace. Can you find out from neighbors if they rent the house and from who? Then you could contact their landlord. Surely there is a step futher you can go if need be. That sucks that they have to be like that. The most maddening part of it is...
