Help, need a smart mouthed response!

[insomniac123]

Last week DH took DD aged 21months out with friends, one of them has son aged 5 who is a complete terror, shouting smashing things up, really aggressive, we are all understanding of this, the mother says just leave him I can't even go near himself he hits me - she has an older son similar but not as bad. They both listen and behave around the dad and grandparents- not her. We all politely avoid the confrontation with him and steer DD away to avoid any impact.
So whilst out with friends DH got a coke and DD insisted on first sip - as she does and off she goes, mother of devil child pops up and say very loudly to husband 'Great parenting there.'
DD is fed very well organic food, prepared by me, and we only drink coke when out and she has a tiny sip off she goes.
We are seeing them today and I know the same thing will likely happen, so I need a smart mouthed reply to her comment which IS going to come which isn't 'F -off!'!

'Says the 3 day nanny over there'

Sorry, please ignore my snide comment.

She probably picks up on the one thing that she perceives as bad parenting on your part to feel better about her own lack of (?) parenting.

Best to ignore or just say "thanks!" imo.

"I'm suprised you know anything about parenting as you don't parent yours"

Don't be a knob, Barbara.

I'd like to withdraw my suggestion and go with "Don't be a knob, Barbara" also.

Pretend you think she means it: "Aww thanks, yes, just one sip and then there doesn't have to be a battle over it. She's so good tho', which helps..."

"Oh, are we making comments about each other's parenting now? I don't think that's a good idea, do you? Nothing spoils a nice day out faster than that."

Then walk off...

don't be a knob Barbara

Loving Don't be a knob Barbara.

"Oh, are we judging each other's parenting now?" Bright smile.

Just hate being caught on the back foot to a bitchy comment to me.
well, yes, it's irritating. That's why "fuck off" is a completely reasonable retort.

I would probably avoid as I am the queen of snotty ,sarcastic retorts. Or I would probably say well DD is having a sip of coke which I really don't see as a problem whereas your child's behaviour now therein does like a problem and give her a long hard stare and my stares can cut ice lol .As my best friends put it they love the fact with me what you see is what you get I will give you a direct,honest answer. Organic diet sounds really good btw.

Therein does lie a problem that should read ,predictive txt 🙄.

Don't say anything. Then when her kid starts doing something crap and she can't handle it you can say it back to her.

Pretty sure "Don't be a knob, Barbara" wins and I'm not even sure I'd change the name.
