[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]

You’re a loser, but not everyone is. I think you’re the hog who tried to come for me when I asked for advice about what to do with boys who were harassing girls during an athletic class. I got decent advice almost immediately but you were pissy. But I did confront, which meant talking to the coach, being blunt with each mom, and they each apologized and made the kids apologize. And in the subsequent class, the girls did well and have already shown they’re quite comfortable at advocating for themselves. Some of you think everyone is weak, and that’s not so.

Some people are better than you, as parents and as people. By some, I mean most. That includes OP, and the other parents who suggested ways to deal directly with this. [/quote]
