You’re right.  It doesn’t matter why my DD had her phone.  It’s not this lady’s business regardless.

I think I was so quick to defend because I always feel like I’m a member of the Bad Moms Club. Having a chronically ill child has done a number on my confidence.[/quote]

OP, you have to practice some comebacks in which you don’t give up any personal information (or your kid’s personal info).

In this case you could have said “Thanks for sharing.” Cold. Shuts her down. Not nasty—if it doesn’t come naturally to you, it won’t.[/quote]

I think ops response was better. Dating this rudely would just give that woman cause to think "not only is that mother a lazy parent for giving her kids a phone, she's also rude " instead op kindly taught her a lesson that's much more likely to make her think twice before opening her mouth again.

Good job, op. You didn't owe her that explanation or anything else, but maybe it'll stop another kid from getting bothered.[/quote]
