To wonder why this Mother was eye rolling over my comments to my DC.

[Goldenbear]

I was at a supermarket this morning and was trying to choose some yogurts for my DC. DS picks up some that are laden with sugar. So I said, 'no not those they have too much sugar in them, what about these instead?'. Cue lots of eye rolling from a new Mother nearby. She picked up something more sugary for herself so I don't think she was in agreement with me. I'd seen her from the start pushing her newborn baby in a supermarket car seat style trolley, the baby was wailing and wailing and couldn't have been older than 2 weeks. When i first saw the newborn crying and crying i felt sorry for the baby but then remembered how difficult those first weeks were and so stopped judging. However, after the yoghurt judgment I did feel that she was hardly in a position to judge my 'preciousness', considering her very young baby was wailing the whole way around the shop and she wouldn't pick it up. I heard her say things to the 2 week old intermittently like, 'you're not having a good day today are you?'

I knew she was a new Mum because there was a nappy promotion on in the store and I heard her tell the shop assistant that the baby girl was her first.

AIBU in thinking you keep the eye rolling to yourself given the circumstances?

I don't understand this poor new mum line. She pointedly eye rolled straight after my comments, she was rude in doing that. I don't go around eye rolling people as it is not very polite.

I made my remarks about the yoghurts because DS thinks they are really healthy because they are yoghurts. I don't want him to be under that misapprehension and so we got chocolate mooses instead, of which he knows you should limit your intake of and he much prefers.

Oh FFS no one cares.

sweetheart you really need to let this go or you are going to make yourself ill

I think you need to chill a little TBH.

Here It's Friday.

You put yogurts back as they are too sugary and got chocolate mousse instead?

i really dont understand why you give the slightest shit?

I love eye rolling in supermarket threads.

I love eye rolling at eye rolling in the supermarket threads.

Yes that's right, chocolate moose instead.

Thanks for the wine, got to go and pick some up first from the same supermarket.

This reminds me of another thread where you thought SS should have been called because a new mum (in a supermarket) had a crying child that she didn't pick up or pick up 'correctly' and wasn't deemed to be wearing appropriate attire.

She might not have been eye rolling at you though, I eye roll at most products in shops, tbh I eye roll so much sometimes I dont even realise that I`m doing it.

I think I would've eye rolled at the sugar comment tbh. If my DC pick stuff like that up I would probably just say, no you can't have them, or at a push pick something else up and say 'these are better.'

I don't give a massive shit, just slightly irritated, bit bored.

Ha ha! Loud parenting in supermarkets......
I've been guilty of some belting examples, entirely by accident. Sometimes it just happens...... Let it go, OP.

Well unless she was intending to give the sugary yoghurts to her 2 week old baby then I think you need to let it go. She was quite possibly eye rolling at the fact that she's got no food in the house and can't stop her new baby from crying to worry about other mums and their yoghurts.

I don't know if the link below works... But you were buying gooseberry and cinnamon yoghurt weren't you...

Lois, well that was a totally different scenario. A thread about a really, really old thread. I got deleted for less last week.

maybe she was actually rolling her eyes at you because she knew you were a total PITA, as you are proving very nicely on this thread.

Chocolate mousse.
Unless you bought a large American animal.
Covered in chocolate.
Yum.

A total PITA- bit aggressive aren't you?

Where do they sell chocolate mooses?

Oops- yes not a large animal.

This sounds like a judging truce. You judged, she judged. You have a lot in common. Call it even and back away from each other warily.

You need to watch those chocolate mooses. The antlers can easily be a choking hazard for a young child.

I now want chocolate mooses.
