[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, that woman is a miserable person.

Your response was fine. Someone like that is not likely to be embarrassed or back down even when faced with cold, hard evidence that they've just acted like an idiot. But, if you wanted to, it would have also been fine to tell her off.

Be honest with your daughter. Tell her that some people are miserable, unkind, and not very bright. Also, let her know that sometimes older people get confused. It is fine to tell your daughter these things loudly and within earshot of whoever makes comments to her.[/quote]

All of these fierce warriors!

This is neither what you would do IRL nor what you should do.

OP's response was fine.  She'll be better prepared if anything like it happens again.[/quote]

Hi, PP mom of a T1D from upthread (as well as a kid with SN) and I most assuredly have, calmly and without swearing, but loudly, to embarrass them to people around us, corrected rude people who thought they were entitled to judge my child. You may be a doormat, but some of us are not.[/quote]
