AIBU? need to ven!

[TinaG90]

Just took my 2 year old out on the bus and whilst on the bus he had an upset stomach and a poo explosion, wasnt expecting it and it was everywhere. I had to wrap his coat around his waist so not everyone could see his mess as I think at that age they deserve some dignity! Carried him to the local supermarket and went to the only baby changing area, when I got him undressed it was everywhere! Not sure why this happened as he hasn't been unwell. I had to wipe him down from the chest all the way down to his feet. Change his clothes, tidy his clothes away, wash my hands, wash down the side, wipe down the floor (it went everywhere) wash his hands and then leave. This took about 10 minutes start to finish and it was exhausting, get outside and a mum and dad were there with there baby and she has kicked off 'how dare you hold the baby changing for so long' and 'my baby has gone through all his clothes now because of you' followed by 'it's the only baby changing and you've hogged it all to yourself and its not on its disgusting what you've done'
She didn't let me speak or explain what I've just dealt with, she's seen that I'm with a toddler and assumed he didn't need to use the baby changing facility. I am honestly so angry at how another mum can kick off like that and not even consider what that parent is going through. Sorry but I needed to vent and do you think I was in the wrong as this parent clearly did.

Banking on you having poo smeared hands you should have smiled, shook her hand and apologised for her being such a twat...
I have actually apologised for someone being ignorant when they bashed into my trolley and scowled at me. Twats hear the word sorry and assume you are admitting fault.
Op you did nothing wrong - unless she held the deeds to the loo...
Hope your dc is now poo free.

I have had so many things go through my head that I wish I had done and said but after that ordeal I just wanted to get out of there! My DS is now fast asleep and poo free whilst I am having a cuppa and putting the washing machine to the ultimate test! I just wish people realised that not everything and everyone is there to serve them and other people have to deal with stuff too.

Tina, you did nothing wrong. Some people are just Twunts who can't see beyond tge end of their noses.

I've actually had it from a dad with a toddler when using the disabled loo with my daughter who was at the time in a wheelchair & suffering with colitis, so couldn't rush going to the loo even if she could stand up. It was a disabled loo, yet he still felt justified I ranting at us. Twunts

Honestly just forget about it

There are twats everywhere in the world and if you let every single one bother you, you will forever be angry

I also think you did the right thing in not responding. You can't argue with stupid & entitled, & they would have just kicked of more. You did the right thing for you & your DS

I appreciate all of the comments and I cant believe the nerve some people have to react the way they do. I did think maybe it was a way of making herself feel better as she didn't have enough clothes for her child and to divert the blame on to me for her lack of organisation. Now I've calmed down I can now honestly say it is her problem, not mine and I know I've done right by my child. Maybe she'll reflect on her actions and realise she's been an absolute moron. She's obviously not had the pleasure of dealing with a poo-splosion before, it's not any easy task but I'm sure she'll realise that one day as every parent will deal with it at some point and it could have been worse, I could have been out within 5 minutes and left her to clean it up!

Don't take any notice. I know that's easier said than done.

I used the disabled loo on Sunday somewhere (as I'm entitled to) and it unfortunately also doubles as the baby change. I came out and a woman with a baby gave me the most evil glare I've ever seen and scowled at me as I walked away 🤨

I'm not explaining myself to anyone. Maybe if she had to put up with what I do on a daily basis she might have a bit more patience.

Its shocking how many people have had the same kind of reaction. I wouldn't dare react that way to someone, if it was the other way round I wouldn't have mentioned anything. As frustrating as it is having a child covered in that kind of mess and having to wait, you don't know what situation the other person has. It's like the people that get moaned at for parking in a disabled bay as they don't 'look' disabled. You can never make assumptions and never judge unless you know the facts. People are quick to make comments these days when they need to take a back seat and keep their mouths shut. Sorry you were made to feel that way too.
