Just need to rant a little! DD is physically disabled, and quite small for her age, she's 3 1/2 now, but because she's so small she's been fine in a normal buggy until recently.
We got her new major buggy on Friday and went out with it for the first time today, it's the only thing that indicates that there's anything wrong with her as she doesn't physically look any different from other children.
So today was the first time I've had to deal with people looking, and children enquiring, all of which I'm fine with, am happy to explain to anyone what is wrong with her, but at the supermarket a child stood with his mother in the queue behind us got vey excited about the buggy, he kept asking his mum why that little girl has such a huuuge pram! lmao, I just didn't know what to say or do when this woman standing right behind me turned and said to him it's because she's not normal!!
I wanted so much to scream at this woman that DD is as normal as any child, just different!, but knew if I did I'd get upset, so I left in a hurry and now feel really sad that DD will have to deal with people like this all the time

What a terrible thing to say - some people really are stupid. It must be difficult to keep quiet in such cases. I hope that the responsible people will outbalance the thoughtless.
