I need some -preferably witty-comebacks for those people who pass judgey, disapproving comments and/or tuts and looks about your children and their behaviour.
This is prompted by something that happened on the school run this afternoon. It wasn’t bad by any means-I’ve had way worse- but it made me think about comebacks and how I should have some preprepared just in case😂
What happens today was my daughter pinged my babies sling buckle in my eye-total accident but I was temporarily blinded and my son got very cross with his sister. He was concerned and holding my hand, making sure I didn’t walk into the road (I was fine, just a sore eye) while berating his sister, fairly loudly granted, but it was school run time and there were lots of noisy kids everywhere. A woman passed us, stopped, turned around, gave the kids a filthy look and muttered something under her breath at me before turning and going on her way.
I know it’s not a big deal but it made me cross and I thought about all the other times people have passed judgement on me/my kids and all the things I could have said.
So...calling on quick-witted parents to share witty retorts to strangers’ disapproval please!
