OT: I got blamed for not watching someone elses kid

[Aliceacc]

You're much nicer than me and I'm from the south!

It was a joke because some of the previous posters had talked about being from New Jersey and having a reputation of having an attitude. One or more mentioned being from Jersey but being softened a little by living in the south.

Nothing more than a little joke.

Unreal, how rude of her. And her child, no doubt I would have said something when she tried to eat my DD's food too. Some people....

I wouldhave been upset with her running circles around the table, I would have been more upset about her trying to take DD's toy, I would have been livid that she took DD's food. You don't know where those hands have been. I would have first told her to sit down and leave DD alone. Then I would have spoken to Mom in a not so nice manner. How dare she blame you? I think that I would have lost it with that comment to security. You are a very nice person. What a piece of work!

I wouldn't have said anything. It's not worth it. She's not going to learn anything. Seriously, the woman's daughter is missing and she's wasting time pointing fingers? You will never get through to people like that. Don't waste your words or your anger on them.

Sometimes I find it best just to laugh at them. No one likes to be laughed at, and it makes me feel better. (Not that you should laugh at someone with a missing child). And I'm not implying that I don't get angry...much to the contrary...but after a little vent I'm all good!

As a side note...my kids don't always behave in public. In fact, I would say I'm lucky if it's fifty/fifty! I certainly do not expect others to take care of them or watch them. And I'm always trying, but I don't think hiding out in my house will teach them anything! (And no, they don't steal food!) I guess I just understand how it feels for people to expect you to stay home because your children aren't perfect.
