I don't know if this is passive aggressive or just plain performance parenting, but I still think it's bloody rude!
I'm also on edge because it's my due date today and so far nada, so that's probably making me a bit more sensitive than usual.
I pop to Tesco with DS (2 years and 10 months old) to pick up some pull up nappy pants. He is fairly dry during the day but has issues with reminding me if he needs to go whilst wearing his big boy pants. He is still in nappies overnight.
Standing in the nappy aisle, being tired, heavily pregnant and DS is helping me get his nappies off the bottom shelf, when suddenly a woman with a toddler in her trolley makes this loud proclaimation.
Name added for added pretentiousness.
PA mum: "Oh, Tarquin Jnr, look at that boy! You don't need nappies anymore, do you? You're a big boy! Not like that boy! He's a big baby! Not like you Tarquin Jnr!"
She might have been talking to her blank faced toddler, who clearly didn't care or was used to her. But my DS got quite upset.
DS kept trying to tell me that he was a big boy, and he did tell me when he needed to go. He's a bit sensitive and there were some sniffles. I told him that I knew all that and told him how proud of him that I was when he used the potty.
I just can't help thinking about how bloody rude that woman was!
It was like... She had a surreal need to one-up a stranger in the nappy aisle at the expense of an innocent child who could clearly hear her. 
I said nothing at the time and let her walk away because as I probably would have bashed her head open with my shopping basket, and I didn't want DS to see that.
Not much of an AIBU, but if anyone has any tips about potty training a toddler that forgets he's not wearing a nappy when he is wearing big boy pants, they would be very welcome.
I'll now pour my imaginary glass of wine as I imagine stealing the baguette from that woman's trolley and stuffing it down her performance parenting throat.
God. I have anger issues today.
