Some kids need that type of stimulation. My son has autism and he has a variety of sensations that he needs or he really starts to freak out and will actually end up hurting himself trying to "stim" himself in a "close enough" fashion." Someone can have autistic tendencies (known as the autism spectrum) without having "normal" autism. So, depending on the child's age it may not be "odd" to them.

She kept her little one blissfully quiet for the entirety of a two-hour car trip?

She's a magic parent.

A very practical answer.

I just wonder why you didn't ask your sister in law why she did so? She probably could've given you a much better explanation than we can.

darthspudius: I'm curious to know what any parents on this forum think of this situation. My sister in law and her husband came up for the fortnight just two days ago. So the wife thought it'd be good idea to take the kids to the zoo. So on the 2 hours down to glasgow my sister in law sat with her youngest sons fingers in her mouth, sucking on them just to keep him quiet.

Does this seem extremely weird and creepy to any else?! We're feeling a bit weirded out and curious to know if it's normal?! haha!
I don't know the age of the son, but he might be teething? Although I'm no parent either..

Ding, ding ding. The most obvious solution. Why the hell it WASN'T obvious, is the really weird thing.

The heffer was annoying enough without giving her the option to speak!

Eh... okay. Again, the weirdness.

I am more curious about what everyone else thought...

So you're asking a bunch of people who don't know the context and can't possibly know the answer, instead of asking the one person who does and can?

Alright...

I think you should either go on a murder spree, eat a cinderblock or hold a pants-off-dance-off. But that's just me and my narow interests talking.

That seems to to be the weirdness at hand, yes.

Why is your sister married to your husband, are you one of those Bedfordshire grundletombs?

F4LL0UT: You meant to say penis.
So that's where I'm going wrong.

You know, I am really quite tempted just to say fuck off. But that would not be nice. To make a point, I do not get on with the woman and don't plan on talking to her. I was merely curious to know if it was common or if its just a strange thing she does. Is that ok with you? Or do you just want to keep being a dick?!

No, sorry. But casually reffering to women as cattle is more than a bit disgusting. So is sucking toddler-fingers, I agree, though. And I wasn't actually trying to be a dick. I just find it weird that you won't talk to someone in your immediate family.
