To still be quietly fuming when a woman assumes my dd's chocolate bar is her dinner in sainsburys??

I went to Sainsburys today to do my shopping, my dd has a bar of their chocoalte as its the only free from chocolate she can eat due to her allergies. We were in the car park putting our shopping in the boot when a woman walks past and says to my dd? 'Is that your dinner' she walked off before I had chance to answer her, I am still cross with this woman, should I just laugh it off? She was not joking either!

My dd only has one bar of chocolate a week, I dont allow sweets or chocolate normally.

No I have no issue with the chocolate other than it being a nonsense food, my dd is very highly strung, give her sugar and she will be bouncing off the walls for hours.

The woman didn't say it in a chit chat tone, it came accross very judgemental thats why It got my back up, normally I would just brush it off but it really made me cross

hatrick , quick aside, you'd better stop that, and I'll stop the dog thing ok?

she was probably being friendly

this is just the sort of thing I would say and I judge no-one

i think she was joking

mummytosteven · 25/04/2007 21:18

it was probably just a bad joke, and if not then she is a bit nuts. either way, no need for you to take it personally.

Sounds like you have more issues around chocolate eating than the woman tbh.

Give yourself a break - she could have chocolate every day and it would be ok!

colditz · 25/04/2007 21:17

She was probably having a joke with your daughter, I think you are over reacting tbh.

Blandmum · 25/04/2007 21:17

I think you should laugh it of. I ver much doubt that she actually thought it was your dds dinner. She was probably just making 'chit chat'

Rather like the way I'll ask small children 'Is that your doggie' about a soft toy. I don't actually think it is a dog, i'm just pasing the time

and anyway who cares what a stranger says. you know the reality of the situation. Life is too short to get wound up about stuff like this.

Thanks Lizzylou, I know but it has made my blood boil, I cook every meal from scratch, blinking hard work, chocolate for dinner indeed

Agree with Lizzylou - don't even think about it - not worth the effort of quietly fuming!

Why worry?

You have no need to justify yourself to strangers. You know the truth, sod anyone else.
