This is what i felt like saying to the woman who told my DD to SHUT UP in the tesco post office just now. My DD was shouting at our dog who was outside the shop. She was saying hello hello hello hello - yeah it was loud but she was upset over something anyway (just had wee wee accident) so i didnt want to tell her off. The woman turned round and told my DD to shut up - she thought i didn't see. To my shame i gave her the finger (original!) and she turned to the counter staff and obviously proceeded to berate me for being common as muck. I guess she must have been right because the thread title was what i really wanted to say.

Grrrrrrr

reminds me of that Amy Mann song when she was with 'Til Tuesday in the 80s. 'He said, Shut up!' He said, 'Shut up!''.

If someone told my DD to shut up because she was saying hello to a dog I would give them a glare and then go home and burst into tears.

JAFV's reaction is possibly more healthy.

Its a sad state of affairs when parents don't defend their kids.

Ripeberry · 24/09/2008 22:23

Ha ha ha! This is like a soap opera!

blueskythinker · 24/09/2008 22:24

Littlelapin, the thread title is what the op wanted to say, but didn't actually say it. She did give the finger though

Plonker · 24/09/2008 22:28

YANBU to feel like telling her to fuck off, i would have been if someone had have told my dd's to shut up too! That said, my dd's are so farking LOUD that she would have had a job to be heard above me telling them to quieten down!

YA of course, totally U for giving her the bird

Really Not Good and totally down to and probably far below her level ...

kittywise · 24/09/2008 22:31

I think "shut up " is a really nasty, aggressive phrase. There are so many other ways of saying the same thing.

No one is allowed to say that to anyone else in our house, adults included.

There are lots of days when people look at me in a certain way when things are going tits up and the kids are misbehaving and i often feel like telling them to fuck off. I think you're perfectly normal! Its easy for people to foget how hectic life can be with a young family. Giving someone the finger infront of your kid is hardly a big deal (infact it made me lol)

I think you sound normal (unlike a few others)

I would not tell someone to shut up, (unless in jest with adult friend)

It is aggressive. But I would have been witty and cutting rather than giving finger.

Thread title made me smirk. But then I am childish like that

it isn't about defending your children. If someone were to be rude to dd (which has never happened in my presence) I am pretty sure I would simply wish to usher her out of the situation and explain to her the reasons as to why an adult would have been behaving like that. She is 8 and has an imagination to understand. Being measure-for-measure as rude as the provocative actor means she doesn't learn anything, other than how to express anger in an anti-social manner. Which she would be being invited to replicate in later life with others.

So there.

LL!

Not at all. Have been out for the evening and come back with this thread at the top of my 'lists you're on' thing, and thought "what would you do?"

You are sooo suspicious.....

You stupid pug faced miserable old bitch, and you fuckers behind the counter can fuck off as well

You honestly thought this would go down as an unanswered thread?

Thanks for the link LL

Pan · 25/09/2008 00:07

Well akchewali....you just knew, didn't you.......

S1ur · 25/09/2008 00:07

See I am childish. That PAn he was reasonable and mature, (well at least til he stuck his tongue out)

Pan · 25/09/2008 00:16

yes Slur. Usually it's firmly pushing against my cheek.

Really though, parents are prob. the most powerful role models chidren have, and mostly in problem-solving. So to do what the OP did and said isn't a thing to sread around the interwebthingy. IMVHO. Ha.
