All I've Ate Today is a Bagel*


Last week I (and over 2 million other people) watched this video on things Nyorkers say. I thought it was great, but I started thinking a funny spin off could be a video of things Nyorker parents say.  I find myself apologizing a lot, especially when I have the double stroller. Excuse me, sorry, oh gosh! Oopps, I ran over your toes! Totally misjudged. Ah! Your heals! Pardon me.

And you should see the looks I get when I say I send my kids to the local public school!

What are things you've heard New Yorker parents say?



*i know it's not grammatically correct, but it's how he said it in the video. ha

  1. I've got a four year-old and a one year-old. Using the aubway is sometimes an adventure.

    To my kid:
    "stay away from the platform!"
    "ew, don't lick the subway pole"
    "don't lean against the elevator wall
    To strangers:
    "yea, I'd appreciate help up the stairs"
    "is there an elevator at this stop?"

  2. Am I the only NY parent that has found myself cursing at elderly people after their repeated rude comments about my children? Since then I have practiced saying, "thank you for your concern" in the bathroom mirror.

  7. NY parents: What do you mean you haven't applied to pre-school yet? OR alternatively, you should have seen how cute Xavier was in his Mandarin class today...

  9. i say I'm sorry a lot too. sorry i ran into you with my stroller. sorry i'm taking up the entire stairwell going down to the subway. sorry that my kids are bothering you on the subway. sorry that i'm late. sorry that my kid pushed your kid. i'm sorry that my son almost ran into you with his scooter. the i'm sorrys never end :) i also find myself saying "he's fine!" a lot as well, to all the nosy women out there who tell me that my son is too cold and needs his gloves on or that i should take him inside because it's too cold. i should practice, like that other commenter said, and try to say something a little bit nicer.

  14. Hello,

    My wife and I have been married for 15 years. For over five years I have been dealing with jealousy issues because of flirting and her having emotional type affairs with other men. I felt like my masculinity was in question and if I said the way she was acting bothered me, it seemed to make matters worse or I was accused of being controling. During this period I did state I wanted a divorce if the behavior was not going to end: texting men a night, leaving for the weekend without letting me know where she was going or not responding to messages. We do have a son and basically it's been him and I for the last year on the weekends. She disconnected completely from being a good wife and mother. In April she said she wanted a separation and I said no we need to get into marriage counseling. We did try that, but she was not very responsive and didn't give any effort. Afterward she was adamant about separation and divorce. I continued to say no and that we needed to save our family. She presented a separation agreement and I had to hire a lawyer. Because of the above behavior my lawyer suggested a private investigator. The investigator discovered my wife was having an affair with a close friend of the family who also is married with children. We know the extended families. I feel like I should tell this man's wife about what happened. This adultery has devastated me emotionally, I feel betrayed and I'm physically drained. I know my wife is passionate in terms of her sexuality, and I can't get the thought of them out of my head. It makes me question my own manhood, and I feel very inferior or that he must be a better lover or what ever. The problem is my wife pursued him. She would go to him and she lured him into this adultery. I felt this was coming for some time and could not stop it. She was not only lying to me but also to our son about what she was doing and where she was going. My family is important, my son loves her and as crazy as it sounds so do I. Can you respond with a course of action on how to proceed? I was still have a very huge place in my heart for her. so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my wife came to me and apologized for the wrongs she did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I, my son and my wife are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe. I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.
