So scary thing happened today-a car hit my stroller with LO in it. Total hit and run. We had the crosswalk and the car appeares to be waiting to turn right but was totally stopped. I started crossing the street and he turned right into us. Everyone was fine and LO just got jostled-I think he only cried because I was freaking out. Asshole who hit us drove away without getting out. We had people all around getting out of their cars to check on us but no one got the guys license plate. Super scary!
You had a guardian angel!
That is beyond scary. I'm so glad you guys are ok!
Did anyone get the tag number? Did you call the police? That is really shitty that this person hit you but even shitter that they fled!
I definitely do-my grandpa we have a huge family and so many crazy scary things have happened and everything has always been fine-my grandpa died young and everyone says its because he had to go watch over all of us!
We didn't call the police because LO and I and were both fine so I figured they couldn't do much and no one got the license plate number. Plus I was in the heart of the city and I feel like the police have a lot bigger issues going on they would not have been helpful.
babycfeb2015 oh my gosh, how scary!!! I would've been freaking out majorly. So glad you guys are okay, but what a shitty person. At least other bystanders were compassionate- maybe my faith in humanity isn't completely gone!
Since I became a mother, I'm noticing a lot of asshole driving all around. Like people totally fail to yield to pedestrians on the crosswalk when trying to take a free right. I now look a bunch of times and make sure the driver made eye contact with me before I push the stroller out just in case some asshole decides to not bother to check.

babycfeb2015 OMG, so glad you're both ok! What a terrifying moment! I can't believe someone would hit and run someone with a stroller. They either had to be totally oblivious or completely afraid of the consequences they'd have to face.
Took me awhile to get through all the spam today. Didn't do much today. I'm back to reading so I read a book today. LO crawled for the first time today! It was only a couple feet but an exciting start. She also had her first swing today!

babycfeb2015 How scary! So glad you are both ok, I can't believe someone would drive away after that but at the same time I totally can and its so disappointing.

Thanks ladies-it was terrible and I was pretty shaken by the whole experience but just glad nothing bad happened. You better believe I will be triple checking every street and making eye contact from now on.
Thanks everyone. A disgruntled, vindictive coworker of his made really serious accusations that even if proven false are enough for him to lose his job anyway. This whole thing feels like a nightmare. I keep thinking it just can't be happening. He's on paid leave pending a full investigation but we aren't feeling good about things.

WTF? That's crazy. Did anyone get a license plate? I'm glad you guys are ok.

That really, really blows. Can he get a lawyer? Is he part of a union that can help? I certainly hope that things work out & he doesn't lose his job, that would be awful. Hugs.
