To be upset at this interaction in the shop

[Sunnie7]

Was in the charity shop today. A mum was in there with her two kids. Mine accidentally bumped into one of her sons. I don’t think she’d even realised she had done it and I didn’t see it either. I over heard the boy said ‘mum she just bumped into me’. Her mum said ‘I’m sure she didnt mean to but if she does it again I’ll have to say something’. Then the son said ‘she didn’t say sorry’. And her mum said ‘well obviously she hasn’t been brought it up properly’.

I didn’t even see it happen and asked my DD she said she didn’t or didn’t realise she had. I asked her to apologise to the boy and just said we hadn’t realised. The mum continued to be funny with me round the shop

Also, DD is 6 and wouldn’t do anything like that on purpose. Just to add

Oh, for goodness sake. YABU.

This is a complete non-incident. Teach your children to apologise if they bump into someone.

That's the end of it.

how do you manage to get through life , if this small interaction has affected you so much that you need to talk about it on the internet ?

it’s just kids being whiney ( and a bit Absentminded ) and someone else making a snarky comment, put it out of your mind

The mum continued to be funny with me round the shop

She followed you around, telling jokes?

Also, why do all these non stories begin with 'I was in a charity shop' lately?

There's been so many of them, I'm afraid to step inside one incase I'm compelled to tell MN all about the non event 👀😁

You asked your daughter to apologise for something she said she didn't do so that a random woman in a charity shop wouldn't think you were a bad parent?

Please stop giving a shit about what other people think.

Why are there so many threads lately making a big deal about normal everyday occurrences? I honestly don’t know how some of you get through life.

What didn’t happen?

Because this is Mumsnet, the natural home of the habitual, debilitating overthinker. There are so, so many threads where a few simple words would have clarified the situation, but the poster would much rather chew over it to the point of exhaustion.

What is your question or your am I being unreasonable?

What's with all the altercations in charity shops lately on here?!

What does being funny with you all the way around the shop look like?

Today someone made a rude gesture at me when I was waiting for someone to get out of a parking space. What did I do? I just get on with your day and forget about it.

Why bleat about it? Forget about it. It's a none issue.

Well unfortunately I over think and probably will for a while over most interactions I have

She grabbed a clown suit off a clothes rack and chased the OP round the shop, honking her nose.

I came for the comments section 🤭😂 and it didn’t disappoint

I've noticed this too.
Forget about it OP. Why do you give a shit if she was "funny" with you for the rest of the shop? You don't know her from Adam. Her opinion means absolutely nothing to you. You'll probably never see her again. It was an incredibly minor event with small kids, not a fist fight.

Yeah, this tbh.

To be honest she sounds ridiculous‘obviously hasn’t been brought up properly’ is a ridiculous thing to say to a child. A simple ‘she should have said sorry’ or ‘maybe she didn’t notice’ would have sufficed. There’s a lot of people out there ready to take offence op!!

Well, I do over think but I’m also suffer from anxiety and I’m a loan parent. I do everything for my DD parent and I never feel enough so for someone to comment on that I have taken it personally and it’s upset me. But thanks for telling me I’m being unreasonable. It’s just hard.

She sounds rude
So do quite a few of the people on this thread !
If no one did any overthinking, we would probably not have many threads on mn to read would we.

But she doesn't know you at all OP. She doesn't have a clue how you parent or what your child is like. Equally, you could have said her child was a whiny tell tale by just listening in on their few seconds of conversation 🤷‍♀️ just because someone says it (or thinks it) doesn't mean it's true.
Shrug it off, it really means nothing. It's a stranger in a shop.

The other woman was a bit rude and thoughtless. The world is full of people like that. Don't take it to heart. You're probably a sensitive person, maybe overly so. Many other people are not. It shouldn't matter to you what random women in shops think about your daughter. She sounds great. Enjoy your years with her. She doesn't have to be perfect and neither do you.
