A lady was mean to my 4 year old today..

[ginna74]

You are to cool there, wheres all you bandmates?

 

[happygirl]

At Walmart.

Besides,I consider myself a one-woman band.

Sometimes I wonder about the maturity level of this group

 

[clovergirl5]

You know, why are these threads and issues with past contoversies on here being brought up as jokes all the time? Well, lets go to disneyworld and make jokes of people there. Its okay here, its disney here??

 

[clovergirl5]

Thats directed at me? Um I didn't start this and carry it on and on and on with their little jokes. If it was you, you would feel like you have to defend yourself and your child.

I leave the thread for and hour and a half and look what happens!

Look, there's Grimace!!

It's just that some peo-HEY! Who took a bite of my chicken nugget?

 

[smkiya]

Look, there's Grimace!!

Where?! (((turns head)))

The 4 year old had it coming. Sure the lady could have been nicer telling the kid to leave her along, but jeez, if I were the parent I'd be embarassed I'd allowed my child to harass someone that is just trying to eat a meal in peace.

I teach my children when they want to spark up a conversation with someone, to ask their name. The older woman in the OP was very rude and I would have told her so.

Wow Why should another shopper or party entertain your child? Nevermind be considered rude for not doing so!

I might talk or wave to a child who starts, but only if they are behaving. This was not the case here! I certainly don't give out my name or other personal inforation to strange toddlers... Did you see anyone other than Firedancer who thought this was a good idea?

I'm a little floored that you think its okay to "tell someone off" who is minding their own business!

 

[clovergirl5]

Im sorry op, Im backing out now. By the way, If the woman didn't want any communication or be bothered by a kid, she shouldn't have sat right nest to you. She must of been close enough for him to reach her purse. I don't think your son was at fault at all. Some people force themselves or their things into other peoples space and doesn't give a care.

Im sorry again for outbursting on your thread.

 

[Scurvy]

Nope, you....I should have a blog? No, message board for me is just fine, as I said, been on tons of message boards. My oldest dd is 13. I have never seen this kind of behavior from adults before. I am at the wrong place, believe me, I know now.

Where did everyone go? No one wants to make any funny screeching walmart kids jokes anymore?

Oh, I understand now. Sorry. Maybe you have better luck on the parenting forums because people with similar parenting styles tend to flock to the same forums, and so there is less disagreement there? My point about the blog was that on most public forums, there are going to be people who will feel differently than you do about things and they have the right to post that. If you really only want to hear one side of an issue, a blog or a forum where everyone shares your views might be a better choice.

With your earlier "thread killer" comment and this "screeching walmart kids jokes" comment I get the impression that you actually do want this thread to keep going. Are you really the OP from that other thread, or are you someone else trying to stir things up? It's a little weird that you bowed out of that thread so early and didn't come back to clarify anything (which is why many of us assumed the worst about your situation) and yet you're bringing it up again here. Plus, I didn't know we could change our user names on here.

I screech in your general direction.

Have you read the thread? absolutely nothing was sugarcoated! Is that how these people treat others in real life. They who flamed me were no better than the old biddy who called me a female dog and my daughter a brat and said I was a bad mother. That she didn't want to listen to her.

I never intended to enter this thread or even bring up my thread (thats why the different username) but I knew the op would be flamed. There is a way to give your opinion and then there is what has been done to me and many others on this site. Thats ok?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have never said anything to anyone on this (or any other) message board that I wouldn't be willing to say to their face (or under my real user name). And I try to be polite about it, but I can't help it if my opinion is something that you don't want to hear. Maybe you have a different definition of "flaming", but I don't think that disagreeing=flaming. You are taking this too personally. People have different opinions about things. That's life. No one is going to agree with you 100% of the time.

That sounds painful. Or gross. I cannot decide.

I don't think your son was at fault at all. Some people force themselves or their things into other peoples space and doesn't give a care.

Okay now I'm guessing you really are joking. Unless she was sitting at their table, she wasn't forcing herself into their space. She had every right to sit at the table next to them and expect that no one would mess with her purse or pester her.

Wow!

 

[Planogirl]

Is everyone familiar with how the tables in most McDonald's are arranged? They are usually in rows and quite close together. It would be easy for a child to reach over to the next table and poke someone's purse.

Anyway, we don't know why the lady sat there. Maybe the other tables were full? The OP seems to have vanished so we may never know.

OMLORD, YOU ARE GOING THE TROLL ROUTE NOW? PLEASE! My username was 5 lil twinkers. You can look up both profiles and compare pics of my kids if you want. Same person I assure you.

I felt attacked and upset that day of my thread, today I feel like defending myself and others on here who feel bullied. I feel much better thank you....Like I said, there is a way to disagree with someone and there is being mean. Take another look. I might be taking something personally, but obviously Im not the only one from what I see on here. As far as Im concerned I have said what I feel. If you want to comment any further pm me.

 

[glitterkittyy]

Of course the old woman was totally at fault. When she saw that the kid needed entertaining, she should've made him some balloon animals pronto! What?!? No balloons on hand? Then she should've made a sock puppet or support hose puppet, whatever is more handy.

And in case it's not totally clear, I'm not attacking the OP. I'm just poking fun in everyone's general direction. Hey, it's better than farting or screeching in your direction!

 

[momrek06]

I wonder where the OP is????

That would be perfect for today's generation of snowflakes wouldn't it? Disclaimer: I'm not saying that anyone here does or doesn't have a snowflake.

The woman had every right to sit where ever she wanted.
