So back story, with dh and dc (7) who is disabled and has epilepsy (not medically controlled) profound learning difficulties with autistic traits.
Stood in shopping aisle while dh picks crisps and dc putting different items in trolley. When we go to move on we start putting back items and telling her to choice a couple. She makes 1 shrill scream and before either myself or dh can say anything this woman approaches and says excuse me in a stern voice and face like thunder.
She explains that her mother who was with her has hearing aids in and can't take noise, we explain that dc is disabled and why we cant stop her making sudden and unpredictable noises. Before we can even say any type of apology she starts telling us that we should be discipline our child (because we hadn't told her off in the 5 seconds between her scream and this woman saying anything.)
I got annoyed at this stage and told her she shouldn't go around telling other people how to discipline their children thanked her and walked away.
I hate disability trumps for one thing but what do people expect? Do they want me to leave my child in the car or chained up at home!
AIBU?
To have reminded woman in shop that I will discipline my own child!
