[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! This is OP. I’m getting away from my original question here but I can’t imagine a world in which she thought it was appropriate to withhold ice cream from a customer based on her own parenting or discipline ideas.

I am also surprised the other mom in line thought it was a good idea to tell MY CHILD that the truck still had ice cream. Why were both of them talking directly to a child who was in such distress? The whole thing was so strange.

I think they were trying to be helpful and admittedly I didn’t have the situation under control. She was screaming and I was trying to pick her up and carry her away. We were a mess. But if you want to help, talk to ME and ask me what you can do to help. So very strange.[/quote]

I get that this was a difficult situation and that the ice cream truck lady was out of line but IME parents talk to other kids all the time. It's perfectly normal. The other parent has no idea whether your child has special needs at all and was just trying to help. Get a grip OP.[/quote]
