As most of u know my dd has cp

We went out shopping amd dd started haveing spasms in her legs in ikea. (the cold weather i think)

When this happens she starts screaming and wriggling about all i can do it just talk calmly and rub her legs (getting her out the pushchair makes her worst seems so g ostiff compleatly)

So here i am as calm as i can sitting on the floor rubbing her legs

When this woman who'd been staring at me came over and said " it's obvious the child wants to get out the pushchair and walk - or will that be to inconvient to spoil your shopping time
after explaining dd has cp - she called me a liar as it obvious when u look at dd there's nothing wrong.

i didn't know what to say i manged to calm dd down and just walked out and came home.

Is this what i can except for society everytime she has a spasm

Sickbucket I have no time to reply to you and your horrible time right now, but big hugs from me, and I will come back to you later.

How awful sickbucket. I think you showed great restraint by not biting her stupid, narrow minded head off. Unfortunatley people like her do exist, but they are the minority (I hope).

oliveoil · 27/11/2003 15:31

How rude can some people be? I would have told her to mind her own f'ing business, cheeky sod.

CP or not, who is she to tell you what your dd requires?

Hope this won't put you off going out, not everyone has this disgraceful attitude.

Oh, you poor love! I wanted to write a lot of very, very rude things about that stupid, insensitive, old bag! Your lovely dd may have CP, but to my mind that stupid woman has a bigger problems. What a walking pile of turds she must be! What sort of twisted person would think you would make up something about CP. What a turd she must be!

CountessDracula · 27/11/2003 15:35

Good god sickbucket I would have lamped her. Rude nosey cow. That makes me want to cry, I hope she feels guilty (she probably only called you a liar to cover up her guilt and embarassment as having been so unbelievably rude).

Just ignore her she is a moron and you reacted with great dignity. ((()))

Blu · 27/11/2003 15:35

Oh, Sickbucket, I'm so sorry, that's really horrible. You feel so lonely when things like that happen, don't you? wanting to comfort DD while having to hold yourself together and no-one to look after YOU.
People are unbelivable.I think you did the right thing in telling her DD has CP, and my guess is that she was too taken aback / defensive to react graciously at the time, but she is now wishing that the earth would swallow her up for ever (if only it would!!!) and feeling almost as rotten as you.
Well done for looking after your darling DD through it.
Makes me feel quite tearful for you, thinking of that happening.

CountessDracula · 27/11/2003 15:36

hmb "walking pile of turds" is the funniest thing I have heard for ages, and so apt for this cretin.

Blu · 27/11/2003 15:38

Sickbucket: maybe this is a good moment to change your name to BeyondThePail!

hmb · 27/11/2003 15:38

Thought it was apt, as we are all relieved when we get rid of one! Shooting is too good for some people

OMG - I don't know what to say apart from if you have the womans address I'd gladly go round there - I'm sure something will spring to mind when I see her! I'm so sorry you had to come face to face with some an ignorant pig. She called you a LIAR!!!!!!!!! That's just so rude. How dare she come over with a remark like that and then think you'd lie about you child like that.
I don't know how toi cheer you up from that. I can just offer you a cyber hug {{{{{}}}}}}, pat you on the back for not having punched her and recommend you buy a good bottle of wine or whatever your poison is, by a ready made meal so dodn't have to do any slaving and put your feet up tonight, thinking about all the lovley people in your life.

Jimjams · 27/11/2003 15:40

what a stupid bitch what an ignorant cow. I am continually stunned by the rudeness of the general public and inability to understand. Hugs to you.

sickbucket · 27/11/2003 15:43

Angeliz · 27/11/2003 15:45

hmb · 27/11/2003 15:47

dd is fine now - i think it was the change in the weather - we only poped out the car and walked 10mins (she was well wraped in blanket n muff) but think her legs got cold.

we hadn't been out all week as we've been flued up.

don't know if to tell dh or not - he phonned earlier and i told him we'd had a great time

Oliveoil, yes! And may she have a boil on her backside the size of Mt Etna.

hmb · 27/11/2003 15:49

ks, and then phone that poor mumsnetter who's number was given out by Ikea by mistake. Then the Mumsnetter can tell her what a turd she is.

CountessDracula · 27/11/2003 15:53

Ode to a cretin in Ikea (with apologies to the lord's prayer)

Our arsehole
Who art in Ikea
Twatface is thy name
Thy mouth is dumb
Face like a bum
Foot at least a size seven
Give us this day
Your head on a plate
And may it be festering.
For thine is the big mouth
You stupid old whorey
Hope to see you never
again.

oliveoil · 27/11/2003 15:55
