EDIT IN ITALICS
Yesterday DS (3) and I went into the local charity shop.
While I was looking at something another lady came in with her baby in a pram. It’s a tiny shop so she was standing right beside me. The shop owner was chatting to her.
The mum looked a bit tired and frazzled, maybe a bit down too.
I asked how old the baby was (she said 2 months) and said “what a beautiful little baby, DS do you want to say hi to the baby?” He got shy and didn’t say anything, no big deal.
Then the shop owner said “they’re too young, he’ll only be interested when he can get something from her.” She absolutely meant it in a 'men are only after women for one thing sort of a way'
I didn’t say anything. Just felt like such an strange/ rude thing to say about a 3 year old. Like she was implying boys only care about what they can get from girls.
I know it will have gone over his head right now.
AIBU to think that was a weird comment? She has said some off things to me before about 'weird' names people gave their children. Name that are not weird at all.
