[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people stand around and watch a toddler having a temper tantrum.    Why were you just standing there watching?  That's so weird.  [/quote]

I don't know why people go shopping with children.  I only took my children shopping when I was clothes shopping for them.  If necessary, I hired a babysitter or shopped when they were in school.  When I went back to work, I went out early on Saturday Morning and grocery shopped.

Only a fool thinks taking a child to a store that has toys on display isn't an invitation for a tantrum.[/quote]

This is so very true. Of course any child that goes into a store that sells toys is going to cry when they see toys displayed. Of course the child will want the toys they see. It is human nature. I would never shop at Walmart or Target with a child just for this reason. I would only take my child shopping with me in a clothes only store or even appliance.

I think this store mama was the one out of line. A child at four years old is going to be traumatized for hearing her mama say in a nutshell that she wishes she never had her. That she regrets that she was even born.

I cannot even imagine what the mother says to her behind closed doors.
CPS should be involved.[/quote]

Good heavens. 
I remember when my kid was a kid in the 1990s parents would quote the Bill Cosby line (from his standup comedy quoting his mom) "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it." I thought it was a horrifying thing to say, and these were trashy people in general (it was a working class neighborhood, I was floored when I moved into this cheap duplex and a neighbor's kids came to introduce themselves and immediately opened my freezer to see what was in there--I was poor and had grown up working class but never would have dreamed that to be ok) but wouldn't have called CPS.

I did call CPS about the kid who would show up at midnight asking if my kid could come out and play and once told us about a fire he'd built in his basement and turned out to wear a knife strapped to his leg. Kid was 10. His mom also stole my rose bush while I was moving to the house we bought.

As for shopping with kids, plenty of people have no choice so shut up about that.

I would have just apologized to the woman for staring if I said anything at all. [/quote]
