Daddies get drive-bys too

While it seems like moms are the most frequent targets of drive-bys, some dads are lucky enough to receive them too.

I really enjoyed Theoretical Grammatarian's definition of a mommy drive by . . .
When I say "drive-by" I mean a "Mommy drive-by," you know, that really annoying thing random people do where they sort of blind-side you with parenting advice/snark that is always delivered in that tone of voice that implies disbelief that you have been allowed unsupervised custody of a child and thank god they came along just in time, paragon of parenting that they are, at just the right moment with their bit of Dr. Phil drivel that will, no doubt, change the entire way you look at raising your children and save the poor dears from a lifetime of therapy? Yeah, I hate that.
The story she posted is about her husband's drive-by experience--a co-worker noticed her husband's tribal branding on his arm, and worriedly asked if they were planning on branding the baby. In her post--Drive-by by proxy--she provides her own response
Who the FUCK thinks that, just because a parent has body modification, they are going to fucking BRAND their baby? The hell? Do you see many tattooed babies where you fucking come from, you pompous shit goblin? Yeah, we're JUST the type of people who would take a white-hot bit of metal to our 3 and a half month old baby so that he could be the bad boy of the pre-school play-yard.
