Please share with me your embarrassing toddler in supermarkets moments

[PolarTeddy]

Please, make me feel better!

Dc1 at 2 had often heard me say to dc2 who wasn't quite 1 'stop screaming' as he was quite a grumpy baby for a while. It was in an affectionate way rather than a shut up way I must add.

We were in Sainsbury's and our Sainsbury's has almost 1 trip there a week from the local SEN school, I think for maths as they have calculators usually. At the checkout there was a child in a wheelchair with one of the teachers, he was making a bit of noise. Dc1 suddenly started shouting 'Stop screaming!' at him over and over again. Stupid self scan machine also decided it couldn't weigh an item so I had to stand there for ages while he did it, waiting for a staff member to fix it for me.

"Are you going to burn Daddy's balls off?" 😂😂😂😂

DD 5 has always had the ability to talk really loudly when in public toilets 'are you doing a poo mum?' 'why are you so hairy there?' 'errr that lady has made it stink in here!' etc. She's done it since she could talk and despite me desperately trying to tell her to be quite she just asks 'why? Are the other people listening to us when they're on toilet?'

DD saw a man at the checkout with an embellished eyepatch. She has speech delay but in this instance, clear as day she points and says, "PIRATE! ARH-ARHHHHH!" with the arm thrown in for extra gusto. I turned away. Didn't make any eye contact. She was only 3 but ffs.

When dd was about 3/4 loudly asked me "mommy do you need vodka today"

Absolutely pissing myself at burn daddy's balls off

I've lost count of the things my four have said but I do remember a phase where I had to check the till people at the supermarket to make sure they had both hands, no facial disfigurements, spots or anything that dd1 could comment on....

She was a sod for stating the obvious, she also went through a phase of screaming every time a man with a beard came anywhere near her!

My young toddler started screaming hysterically in Sainsbury’s, I turned around to see what the hell has happened and it’s the poor nurse from the doctors surgery that did his vaccinations a week earlier. She was really lovely about it and reassured my son!

@antisupermum

Your dd probably did everyone a favour

Not in a supermarket but waiting at a cash point waiting to get some money out as there was a man already using it.

Dd who was about 3 at the time...

“Mummy that man is really FAT isn’t he?”

“Dd shush..that’s not polite”

“BUT MUMMY HE REALLY IS FAT”

Bright red with shame, I bundled her off to another cash point

This was quite a few years ago but still feel traumatised by it...

Young son ie around 3 or 4 years old with me shopping in a co-op local goes and stand at the front entrance pulls his pants down and does a wee - said wee being sprayed onto a busy London high street .... it was probably at this point I disowned him! Said son is now 44 years old, good as gold now doesn’t believe me when I tell how naughty he was!

Whilst in Tesco with my then 4 Dcs eating a French stick on the way round( I miss that!) my then baby ds was about 1, I was weighing the fruit and veg, when a lady asked if that was my trolley as my baby had his whole arm stuck right inside the hollowed loaf! His 3 older sisters quietly laughing at him as tried to free himself!
The lady said she never thought she'd have to rescue a child from a French stick!

My daughter was about 2 1/2 and had got into a habit of having massive tantrums - throwing herself on the floor, kicking, screaming, etc. I decided I’d had enough. One day, she threw herself on the floor in Asda, screaming her head off and everyone was staring at me anyway. So I decided to copy it - banged my shopping in the trolley, threw myself onto the floor and screamed “how the hell do you like it when I do it?!?!”. Crazy mum? yes. But did she ever do it again? No!!!

Waiting for the loo with my potty training 2 year old. Older lady comes out wearing a hijab and my son shouts ‘there’s a witch in the toilet!!!!!’

"You smell like wine, Mummy!"

-three year old, very loudly, in Booths.

Mine saw a man with tattoos and said loudly he’s going to be in real trouble with his mummy for drawing all over his arms. I wanted to die but thankfully the man was a good sport and said yes my mummy was really cross. Phew 😅

I was a nanny in France. Child in question was about four, so not a toddler anymore. She insisted on carrying a yoghurt drink and I let her, to keep the peace and so we could just get the errands done and get out. She was a child who definitely knew her own mind and it didn’t seem worth the battle. Until she tripped and the yoghurt drink went all over an entire rack of shoes. We both looked at each other in horror and then scarpered (yes, I know, but I was only 19)

Not in a supermarket but a packed shoe shop my then nearly two old shouts at the top of his voice 'your a minger' to no one in particular,I hid behind the shoe racks red as a beetroot while the shop erupted in laughter. I didn't buy shoes that day.

DistantVworp my son was older, he has SN and we were in the disabled loo in a cafe when he started the "you havent got a willy....what have you got...can I look" at the top of his voice. Along with telling me that it was disgusting that he had to stay in there while I had a wee as well, and me yelling at him "Do not open the door" because the loo opened directly into the cafe area. Judging by the barely concealed grins as we left it had all been heard...

I had a fall in the supermarket when DS was about 4. The lovely staff were helping me get up and get my bags etc when he told them that I'd been 'on the drink'. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I most certainly had not.

Mine asked a larger lady if she had a baby in her belly.

He also asked a man why he had a grumpy face.

My other DS flashed my boobs in the middle of Tesco because he (rather loudly) wanted booby.

Tipped backwards out of pushchair, ran and tipped over window display and because of this because I had my card in reader I totally forgot my pin....

And not in a supermarket, but there was a man walking towards us with dwarfism and DS pulled excitedly on my arm, pointed and proclaimed for the entire town centre to hear "MUMMY LOOK AT THAT LITTLE MAN!

Dd saw a man with prosthetic legs in shorts. She was absolutely mesmerised and kept saying "wow oh wow, look real feet and no legs".

Not quite in the supermarket but at superdrug we were walking past the "adult stuff" and she started shouting "look at the happy finger mummy!" while pointing at the vibrators!

Bloody stupid place to out a poster advertising vitamins (or something else innocent) that had fingers with drawn on happy faces!

I was mortified and really confused

My DS shouts daddy to any man he sees. Hes nearly 3 and we live with his dad

DD, DS and I were out shopping and a lady started talking to them. She asked my DD her name and she goes " My name is DD, this is DS, hes a right mardarse"

Evidently she overheard me and Dp

Looking for some jalapeños for tacos.

Me: Hmmm jalapeños... jalapeños... where are they?

DD2 (4): What are you looking for?

Me: Jalapeños

DD2: Oh! I thought you were saying jala-PENIS... like daddy has a PENIS. Get it? JALA-PENIS... PENIS.

She then shouted down to DD1 who was further up the isle that she 'thought mummy was looking for a jala-PENIS... like daddy's penis.
