[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the kindest things that happened to me was a day that I was wearing my daughter at the grocery store. She was in a back carrier, maybe a year and a half old and not consolable. Her dad had been overseas for two weeks and I needed to get groceries. An older woman looked at me and said, honey you’re doing great. We’ve all been there.

That’s how you handle it[/quote]
An inconsolable baby isn’t the same thing as a shrieking toddler and you know it. That mother was not “doing great” and you know it.[/quote]

My eardrums would say different but since you know better about my kid than I do, please tell me everything I need to know about being a good parent in the world. Truly fascinated by you and your intellect.[/quote]
A baby can’t be reasoned with. A toddler has a small capacity for reason—case in point, it shut up after a stranger scolded it. That’s the difference. And you know it. [/quote].

Kids will always listen to other people before they listen to their parents. If you had children, you would know that.

It doesn’t mean that OP is in the right it doesn’t mean she wasn’t a creep or did not scare that child[/quote]
