I strongly suspect she is also OP of the "2 yo and 4 mo share your routine" thread.

Yup, it's me.

I even thought of getting a screen name but then what will you ladies do with all the time you have to spend here trying to find out who is who, right? I'll just keep posting and let you guess.

Screen name is a great idea.
But the bridal bouquet thread is also yours? Or not?
If it is, please accept compliments on your English, it has really improved IMO.

Is Chipotle Mom the same person as the anti-vaccine lady?

Chipotle Mom here.

We do an alternate schedule. And we have not been to any BBQs lately so I don't know what the reference to a barbecue means. Do you mind sharing a link?

BTW I'm not the OP here.

OP, you have my sympathy. I'd ask my friend to excuse me for a minute, call the lady on a corner and unleash, exactly like I did with the old lady complaining about me using my well deserved handicapped spot.

My mistake, not a BBQ, I just couldn't think of another word. Family function? You said your husband is from a different culture and some of his culture's food just smells weird and off to you anyway so you didn't know if it was spoiled or if it just smelled like that and the two of you disagreed that if it WAS spoiled, someone should tell the host. You admitted in the thread you were Chipotle lady so I know I'm not crazy! I never know how to pull up threads to link though.

And back to OPs post...

OP, just wait until you're in the 2's, and you KNOW your kids is acting up (because they are two) and there is nothing you can do!

All I can say is, let it slide. The lady was clearly having a hot flash or something. 17 months? You did everything RIGHT to ensure that breakfast was a pleasant experience. I'm sure your friend was mortified for you too.

I hope you don't see that lady again, but I'm sure she has quite a reputation around town if she publicly berates strangers in restaurants.

You could also try saying something like "I'm so sorry. It must be really hard for you to have to deal with people in public places with such a sensitivity to what others are doing. It must be hard to have nothing better to do than to focus on the perceived wrong doings of everyone else. Perhaps if you weren't so unkind, you would find it possible to enjoy life rather than focus so intently on the negative!" Talk to her like you are talking to your four year old. And as she repeats herself say - "yes, that must have been very hard for you."

I have a 17m old and a 3yo. We don't dine out often because the 17m is very difficult at a restaurant. No one has ever yelled at us in public but I'm sure they think what that lady said to you. We have had diners request to be moved away from us. DH and I take turns taking the 17m out of the restaurant.

We usually opt to just get take out. It's not a pleasant dining experience for us or anyone around us.

Don't take it personally. They forget what it is like to have a toddler. I don't think you should think that your toddler was so well behaved though. He probably wasn't.

[Anonymous]

Breakfast in a casual restaurant? I'm sorry, but there should be no presumption of a quiet dining experience. Anyone who gets upset about a kid making a couple of noises in that type of place at that time of day simply should not go to restaurants anymore.

Chipotle Mom, is this you: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/193044.page, (constant annoying comparisons?)

I'll be brutally honest. If a lady ever said that to me in a restaurant, I'd go off. I mean really off. I like the "walk away before I end you" comment, but that might be too subtle for my taste. That was so out of line that I might consider getting up and actually getting in her face and pointing right at her nose, which is highly insulting in my book. If slapping someone in the face wouldn't get me in trouble, that's what I would do.
What a complete and utter asshole.

[Anonymous]

OMG you ladies are unbelievable!!!! Yeah it's me! And reading it again I'm so embarrassed LOL I sound so ridiculous! I'd totally make fun of the OP if I read something like this coming from someone else HAHA!

Goodness, motherhood does change you, FAST!

BTW, do you guys do anything else for a living besides reading DCUM? I'm glad I change details here and there because if I didn't soon you'd know even my full name

Chipotle Mom, tell us a little bit about yourself. Not your name or anything identifiable obviously. I'm just curious about someone who posts so many issues in a way that so many other DCUMS can identify.

Chipotle Mom = FBFNFTM?

[Anonymous]

To the Pp who said wait til they are 2, nothing you can do. You're in for a long struggle if you think that. Look, lots of people are oblivious to their kids when catching up with friends at starbicks. That's probably what happened here, shrieks suck.why should other peoples eardrums have to ensure them. Every 2 year old is "spirited". Just some people use it as an excuse.
