in not wanting to endure a kid's crying in a shop

[AnnaMosity]

I get it - she's tired, shes rubbing her eyes but LADY dont just ignore her and carry on shopping.
it was a bloody racket! take her out, cuddle her shushshushshush her - not just subject the rest of us to this cacophony

Mintyy what would you have preferred... I give my daughter the glass that she wants to hold herself which will end up smashed on the floor? I leave, even though I have just got my food? I never leave the house, so DD won't learn ho to behave in a restaurant and will be a badly behaved 10 year old? I let her tantrum for ten seconds (that was really how long it was) in a very noisy, very child friendly restaurant? Everyone else in the room smiled at us (they all had children with them, though).

In a shop I would finish the shopping as quick as possible and then leave, it's not always feasible to just leave. If it was a restaurant or somewhere though I would (and do) take them outside to finish their tantrum or calm them down as anything else is unfair on other diners

Oh dear OP, your name suits you. Do you even have any kids of your own?

YABU!!

Oh she was very slowly looking at clothes. Then chatting to till person. WITH A MATE who could have taken bloody screamer out

Agree. Mine were fantastic shopping haters. Would never inflict on someone else. It drove me mad enough

Btw. To specify. Wasn't tantrum. Was tired irritating crying

This is what internet shopping was invented for.

There is that !
I was waiting to pay while she dicked about chatting. One year old wailing LOUDLY

OMG - she was chatting...how dare she!! I think you should call SS

Do you have kids OP?

What a delight u r

Waaah. Waaah.
Shuddit ;)

"no, me looking at clothes is far more important than anyone else's aural comfort. ".

It sounds as though to her looking at clothes was more important than the child's comfort, regardless of any annoyance caused to others.

How dare other people shop at the same time as you

There is that too. I almost told her to shop somewhere family friendly. Maybe matalan.

Now just you sounds like a self entitled twat! Where were you, Prada?

They should empty the shop of riff raff as soon as you set foot in it.

I can't say. Let's just suggest it was aspirational to her.

So now mums are only 'allowed' to shop in certain places?

Wow

Maybe even roll out the red carpet.

I think the OP is a goader.

Not a very good one, mind.

Delusions of grandeur OP or just trying to wind people up?

Buggy access should be a warning sign.
Anyway the kid was yelling. It was annoying and IMO rude.
