Am I right to feel really annoyed by this ...

[Nicole1976]

Today I was in sainsburys with my 3 year old when I heard a mother who had 4 kids with her shout to them " look over there at that lad in the pushchair , what a fat bastard he is" She was referring to my LO and I was livid that someone could be so impolite and rude, I didn't speak to her about it but I heard her talking about him again later.
How would you feel ?

Woah, seriously? What a rude bitch!

I'd have had to say something. Did you?

Nicole, all your posts I have read have been about your overweight dcs. What is your gp doing to help you and your dcs?

I think I was too angry to speak to her in a civil manner. Not that she was doing so herself.

BuzzardBird- it's true that most of my posts are about my child's weight, my GP is incredibly helpful and I can gladly say that my DS (13) now walks to or from school at least twice a week and although he hasn't lost weight his height has increased a little, which I'd imagine makes him less overweight :)

It is horrible that people are so stupid and vile that they are shouting it out loud to their children. They are ignorant idiots.

Is your 3 year old fat? Agree it's awful of the other woman to say what she did, but surely by 3 your DS can walk rather than go in the pram (unless prevented by disability) and the walking would help to ensure he wasn't overweight?

She was vile and rude. It is sad though if you children are over weight, I hope that is something you can change.

She's horrible and setting a dreadful example to her own children. Glad you are getting some help.

Well if your children are overweight you are doing something about it. Unfortunately, if she's so rude now she'll probably never change. Her children are to be pitied, having a mother like that!

yes I would be annoyed too, regardless of his weight it is awful parenting to encourage your child to laugh at other children's appearance, especially when that child is so young.

rockchick I would assume he was in a pushchair because some 3 year olds make it impossible to your shopping as they run around and stuff so a pushchair would be to keep him under control.

Oh dear
