Cute little 3 year old girl with v rough looking mother (sorry but she was).

Little girl chatting away to mum, mum turns to her and says 'If you don't stop talking in that stupid voice I'm going to twat you over the head so hard that you talk like that forever and will be drinking your food through a straw...'

WTF has that little girls future got to hold?

Sorry but I was so saddened and shocked I felt I had to share. Poor little girl

I never shop in ASDA. Too many traumatic expericences.

LouMacca · 16/04/2009 20:46

Yes scream I get your point. But I would worry that if I went over and agitated the mother even more it could be even worse for the child when they got home iykwim.

I hear that kind of stuff all the time unfortunately. I work in Asda poor kids.

Tortington · 16/04/2009 20:49

i agree with quatro - i'd expect nothing less from asda clientel

MrsMcCluskey · 16/04/2009 20:51

How sad
Poor little girl
Unfortunatley in my job I see the lovliest children living with the most awful parents.
I juat want to take them all home with me.

My father used to threaten me and my siblings with cruel words. It will NEVER leave me. He told my sister when she lived at home many years ago during a row that he "would hang for her"!!! This was just one of the many evil things he said to us. The selfish old bastard should never of had kids.

CrushWithEyeliner · 16/04/2009 21:14

just think what she gets at home behind closed doors.

TheLadyEvenstar · 16/04/2009 21:21

I have to say I have been on the recieveing end of someone who thought i was unfair in telling ds1 off. They decided to scream and shout at me because I had raised my voice at him in public....I had had 3 1/2 hours of him whinging and whining about how unfair it was that i had bought ds2 vests and not him, and also demanding i went and bought him something.
In the end i said"i am getting you nothing stop being a horrible brat and deal with the fact i got ds2 something today and not you"
well he didn't like it started bawling and this woman decided to tell me what a nasty person i was.....actually i am not but i had had to buy my baby vests and my 10yr old was being a brat....

So sometimes things are not all they seem...not that I am defending the mother...

Jaquelinehyde · 16/04/2009 21:30

Agree that what this woman said was vile and makes me very sad and angry.

However, to say you would expect nothing less from Asda clientel is just fucking pathetic.

Quattro - nah you're alright, not all of us have had a humour bypass , could you pass the Fruit Shoot

hf128219 · 16/04/2009 23:10

It is very sad indeed - but inbred. The mummy would have learnt that from her daddy etc.

Sorrento · 16/04/2009 23:14

I avoid Asda because of this too, I cannot bear for my children to even witness it, god knows what it must be like to be on the receiving end of it.

Quattrocento · 16/04/2009 23:15

Would you like a sausage roll with that?

same here cofee inducedimsomnia, I work (and shop)in Asda too,

My dad always used to say that you got a better class of people in sainsbury's, could never work out whether he was joking or not.

Iv heard and seen some awful things said and done to children in my 7 months there.

staylucky · 17/04/2009 00:54

My you put so much faith in branding!

It's crap, but that's life. I've grown up around these people and it's that famous choice. Do you wish to be a good example or a terrible warning?

Feel lucky for what you have instead of judging where you shop as your success as a parent.

navyeyelasH · 17/04/2009 01:02

hf128219 that's not strictly true, my sister and I are like chalk and cheese in how we speak to people (she is generally aggressive and shouty and OTT about shouting at my nephew IMO) but we have the same parents!

mamadiva · 17/04/2009 01:07

FFS, if it bothers you that much open your mouth!

I'm sorry but an earful may be nothing compared to what that child gets! This is exactly why there are so many kids dying at the hands of their parents because people stand back and watch the signs and say well I did'nt see the point...

Get a member of staff to call the police or something if it's that bad they would TRUST ME!!!

And those of you who think that us ASDA shoppers are just the bottom of the shit pile, get a life! So I must be scum and rough looking because I don't have a waitrose, sainsbury's, somerfield etc nearby so shoot me!

Stuck up twats.

steviesgirl · 17/04/2009 01:20

Yeah mamadiva I agree. What the heck has it got to do with where you shop? Kids are being abused from every social background.

To think that only ASDA and the like attract these sort of people is just ridiculous and stereotyping. I shop in Morrisons and I'm a respectable person thank you. There are a lot of snobs floating here me thinks

Alambil · 17/04/2009 02:31

it's absurd to shop in Sainsburys when the same food in Asda is so much cheaper anyway!

It is sad, what she said - but who knows; she could have said it as an utter one off

I told DS he was a stupid little boy today - not proud, but I'd had enough... and I looked rough today - puffy eyes, greasy hair, dirty clothes.... judge me. I care not. I know what kind of mother I am.

MuffinBaker · 17/04/2009 07:43

I just feel that those who don't say anything because they don't want a mouthful are unbelievable.

You are an adult and should be able to take one verbal attack. What about what the child is getting on a potentially daily basis.
