    Karen mom gets howlariously offended when random runner dotes over her doggo instead of her hooman child, commenters confirm: ‘Puppies are cuter than babies’

    Well kids, the cold, hard truth is that sometimes mommy is not so well put together in the head and that makes her do funny things that do not make sense. Sometimes she will lash out at random people in the street over one thing, when it is actually something else entirely that has got her upset. And was the case for a random runner in the park, who was drawn to mom's doting doggo. The runner, who immediately fell in love with the mom's canine child, completely missed the fact that mom had just given birth to a hooman child and fawned over the four-legged fur baby without thinking to ask, or take interest in the hooman baby a few feet away.

      Yesterday, when I (24F) went for a morning jog in the park, I saw a couple walking one of the most adorable puppies I have ever seen in my life!

      The puppy locked eyes with me, and that was it- wagging her tail, tongue out, smiling, trying to pull the husband in my

      I love dogs, so I was in heaven. I spent several minutes on the ground with her getting all kinds of love and affection and asking her owners her name, how old, etc. She

      A few minutes into talking (to clarify: about two minutes, and I was probably with them for about 4 total: 2 with the dog, 2 the wife being mad and the husband getting her to leave), I

    • Now, ordinarily mommy probably would not have reacted to this show of love and adoration in the callous way that she did. But being sleep-deprived and recovering from squeezing out a melon from her body, mommy somewhat flew off the handle. Lashing out at the runner for rudely ignoring her latest and greatest achievement. So just know, just because mommy might say she is mad at one thing, it can be something entirely different that is actually upsetting her.

      pretty confused, so I asked her if something was wrong. See, the couple also had a baby with them, a little girl sleeping in a stroller. I'm bad with ages, but if I had to guess she was probably around a

      I have absolutely nothing against babies or children in the slightest, including this woman's daughter. I see them as other human beings just like me. But I won't lie babies and kids have never elicited

      the same... instant warm feelings? that dogs and all animals do for me. This is to say, I've never really been the type to coo at babies. I don't hate or dislike them at all, I just regard them in the same way I regard all strangers regardless of age.

    • It is safe to say that this is a case of misdirected anger. Perhaps even jealousy, and who can blame the melodramatic mother for losing her mind, when the hardest thing she has ever accomplished is completely ignored. How would you feel if your mom completely ignored the A+ you worked so hard for and instead fawned over your friend who only got a C?

      Babies have never and will never be as cute as dogs. Good to see she already has her new parent entitlement down. I don't care

    • While this commenter has a valid point, it could just as easily be transferred to the doggo in question. Highlighting the fact that no one was particularly right or wrong in this case and frustration and anger were simply misdirected. Heck, if anything it should be considered genius to have both a hooman and a canine child present such that you might receive interest and praise about either one, or both in the best case.

      Malicious... Partassipant [2] Lol, I have to make sure I say hi to the pet owner before departing so I'm not completely disregarding them. You fawn over dogs.

      Some people fawn over babies. Some people fawn over both. And some over neither. Nothing wrong with any of it.
