to be angry at being judged?

[diamondee]

I am a regular poster who has nc.
I was out shopping today with dcs, ds2 (18mths) was in his buggy drinking WATER from a fruitshoot bottle. He had thrown and cracked his usual juice cup and we were out getting another one.
An older lady passed us with her friends as we were sitting having a rest and she clocked ds2 drinking from the bottle.
A loud tut from her then she starts telling her friend that I'm why society is what it is. Young mums (I'm nearly 30 btw) dragging up their children and how she'd bet her last penny my children are all to different dads!
She got all that from a bottle?
I sat there stunned, really fuming but not wanting to let go in front of dcs. Dd (9) luckily didn't here her.

YANBU, awful woman.

lol - sorry but i would have just found it funny ;)

What a total bitch from hell!

ignore ignore ignore.

A fruit shoot does not a shit parent make.

Some shit parents give fruit shoots, not all parents who give fruit shoots are shit parents

Simple economics!

Bet she posts on Gransnet

How did you know her assumption was in any way related to the bottle of water?

I wondered that kinky

At that point you should have whipped out the redbull.

Then you could have sat back and watched her head blow off.

I don't believe this for one minute. No one - particularly older ladies - would make such a judgement on one fruit shoot bottle.

The bottle was mentioned in the rant kinky.

I wouldn't have been able to resist offering DS a fag

now come on diamondee - you forgot to mention the spliff he was holding in his other hand, honestly, all these drip-feeding ops.

YANBU. Sounds like a very very rude woman. And a very silly one too, if she's making assumptions about people based on a fruit shoot bottle.

So a fairly long rant then? Did she stop for air?

Society's gone down the pan because of fruitshoots.

Priceless

Why did you name change op?

Most older women I know have no clue what a fruit shoot is and how it differs from any other soft drink. What a quite extraordinary event.

I drink fruitshoots, they are pretty nice.

If you've done nothing wrong, why name change? What did the woman actually say.

I can't decide if you're a shit parent until I know. Word for word.

::licks pencil::

I name changed after someone in rl discovered my old name.
I realise I shouldn't let this bother me but I just can't let it go. Tense up and get angry when I think about it

Old ladies are notoriously rude. Recently my friend and I were subjected to rant based on how babies/children were 'poor little things' because Mums nowadays had the audacity to convey them in forward facing strollers instead of high prams (think Silver Cross Coach built type thing).

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Funniest post on this thread so far ha ha ha

Aye right

Is that the same generation that would give babies brandy in their bottles?

That was advice offered to me by quite a number of older ladies when my DC wouldn't go to sleep.

"Old ladies are notoriously rude" you will be old one day.
