[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was with my MIL and my daughter at Disney, and MIL threw such a huge fit over a perceived slight from the ride attendant she refused to get off the ride and they ended up calling security. They held up the entire line for almost 30 minutes until the "situation could be resolved".  My MIL wouldn't budge not matter how much I begged her to get off the ride. I was beyond embarrassed and ashamed, even though I didn't know any of the other people there.  At the same time I felt it was showing my daughter a terrible example of how to treat service people (MIL was yelling insults and obscenities).  But I just kept my calm, even though inside I was fuming.   I would suggest next time, mildly but firmly stating you do not allow your children to do x (write on tables, run in a restaurant, scream inside, etc.), not in a laughing condescending way, but in a calm way. And be thankful you aren't begging security NOT to arrest your MIL at the dumbo ride.[/quote]

Yeah I probably would have walked away and let her get arrested...[/quote]

+1. No reason for you and your child to witness this ghastly behavior. [/quote]
