To think I shouldn't have to change my son's dirty clothes

[JingleAllTheSoddingWay]

Just to get some milk and end up spending £75

Took my boys down to the park today. The 14month old doesn't walk yet so was crawling around, having a whale of a time, an got quite muddy.

I cleaned his hands with a wipe but his clothes where obviously dirty.

Then I went to tesco to get some milk and bits and some gent told me it was disgraceful that I was taking my son out "in that state". I explained we'd just been to the park but apparently I should have gone home first, put him in clean clothes, then gone back out to the shop.

Is he right? Does it really matter that my son had muddy clothes when shopping?

I would of told him to fuck off and then wiped some mud off my son and rubbed it in his face.

Was he sitting in the trolley?

well dd got chocolate all over her face yesterday in the car because she got a bribe treat to come to the store and I didn't wipe more than the excess off her.
But I'm a bad parent so don't follow my lead.

"Oh you ARE his father! I thought the face looked familar. I'll need to give my lawyer your number..." gets out pen

oh just ignore he clearly does not have much to worry about if he is so bothered! i dont think many mothers would go home, change all the clothes and then head out again for the milk. what a waste of time

hahaha good one! Seriously? Nah.

I took my DS (18m)to the doctor yesterday, he was covered in spaghetti hoop sauce (from dinnertime) paint (we'd been painting pictures) chocolate (to keep him 'happy' in the waiting room ) AND cos the docs were running over and we had to wait 45min (hence the chocolate) he'd done a POO!!!

In my defence we live 15min from surgery so I didn't take his change bag as I thought I'd not be very long!!

jax yes seriously

I usually have a spare change of clothes on me but I didn't bother taking the change bag as didn't think I'd be out that long.

I wouldn't usually take him places covered in mud but we had just been to the park and forgot about needing milk until we where leaving.

Happy to know I'm not the only one though.

You should have told him that you agreed with him, you shouldn't take him to the shops in that state but last time, when you left him home alone SS got all uppity at you. Then skip away happily.

YANBU unless ds had his mitts in the pick 'n' mix or the salad bar at the time

If hisclothes were mud soaked and damp then YABU...he's 14 months old and can't decide when to get comfortable can he? Sorry to buck the trend! But if my child was muddy and probably damp then I would change him before I went to Tescos.

oh honestly where do some people get off? I'd have told him to mind his own feckin business and rammed him with my trolley.
I too may have anger issues....

was your child so covered in mud as to be soaked to the skin, therefor cold?

If yes then YABU.
