So i took my DS who is 3 in a couple of weeks shopping. he normally has a nap but today he didn't, so he was shattered as this was around 6pm. He decided he wanted a £20 toy I told him no and he could have a magazine if he wanted. He didn't want the magazine and started to have a tantrum. Now as most mums and dads know when your child is having a tantrum it is rather stressful anyway (I also had my newborn with me). Well a man walking passed with his kid and wife makes this comment "I would be embarrassed to have a child like that... I wouldn't leave the house if I were it's parents" now me being the person I am I didn't stay quite and I put this so called man in his place he replied saying it was his personal oppion AIBU to think keep ur personal opinion to ur self. My son snapped out of this tantrum rather quickly so it's not like he was screaming for hours it was probably 5 mins. I don't know why people think it's okay to look down on you when a child is having a tantrum... It is perfectly normal... I feel so angry when people like this man think you have a devil child just because they are being normal and throwing a tantrum... what are people's thoughts? Would you be rude and make such a comment or would you think I know how that parent is feel poor sod.
