People have big gobs
I hate people who feel they have a right to judge anything another parent does. We all do things differently and at times I have not liked or agreed with other mums but I keep it to myself.
Today one of the dads (househusband) st the girls school was watching me pur Ayesha's coat on. She protested and was screaming but I still got it on without to much fighting it was just all noise. Then I put her straight into her pram. I didnt acknowledge her tantrum and ignored her. She didnt get her own way and I didnt shoot or get upset. Until his big gob said. How can you let a child rule your life like that.
I firstly pointed out, that she didnot get her way and that I was ignoring the tantrum and that she will calm down when she realises tantrums dont work - as I believe sometimes they want attention even if that does mean you shout at them rather than talking.
I was so upset I felt proud I had done things the right way and yet someone still critised me. I suppose I am doomed to let people down.

When I was a nanny in London,I was out with the two toddlers I was looking after.One of them ran his hands along the wall,so his gloves were black.He'd gone out with clean gloves.While we were waiting for the bus home,some bloke I'd never seen in my life just passing by felt the need to give me a lecture on keeping "my " children clean.I was that gobsmacked I couldn't tell him the true story,anyway why should I.Still makes me angry more because I didn't tell him where to stick his advice,and it's 12 years later.
Don't worry,you let no one down.You were minding your own,taking care of your baby.All toddlers have paddies.If Mr Mum doesn't know that it's his problem.
It sounds like you were a lot more polite than I would have been!
Advice when you ask for it is one thing, but how he could criticise you when you were behaving like an impeccable mum is beyond me!
I bet you're still fuming, I would be. Comfort yourself with the moral high ground you occupy, by not criticising his bad example of rudeness he was setting to his kids!
what a twat!!! im sorry but thats just bang out of line, ignoring a tantrum is the hardest thing ever, and jack does the same thing ayesha did on a regular basis and i deal with it exactly the same way, which i believe is the right way, i ignore bad behaviour and praise good behaviour so when he goes in the buggy nicely hes told hes a very good boy and if he remains nice in the buggy gets some raisins on the walk home! I cannot believe he had the front to comment especially on something that was dealt with so well, blimey my blood is boiling, dont get me wrong i am not anti men but I HATE men who think they know better than mums, especially when its not even there children they are talking about!!! I got tutted at by some dad at my sisters school for letting her go in my buggy with lola, shes just turned 3 and its a long walk poor kids knackered after school! Hope that this idiot hasnt got to you too much linz your a fab mum and you know it, hold your head high you did the right thing!!
and well done for remaining so calm, cant say id have manged that!
All I can think of now is that advert set in the supermarket that was on a few years ago - you know when the mum silenced her screaming child by throwing a proper tantrum in front of everyone?
Lol!
Hey, I'm in my mid-30's, I have very little shame left!
TBH I'd probably get a round of applause if it was the one close to home, lots of mums with small kids there, they've all experienced it I'm sure...
Oooh I wish I'd had my paddy now.
See the chocolate was soothing you too much!
I have just got such a thing about rice pudding at the moment. I have fallen in love with the Rachel's Divine Rice - it is just so creamy and like home-made stuff - actually I'm off work tomorrow I might get a nice slow rice pudding cooking in the morning so I can binge at the weekend....
It is very rude. I hate the way some drivers behave in car parks - nearly always men too. Especially those b******s who park in disabled spaces when they clearly have no need to. I always have to fight the urge to ram their cars so they have something to complain about!
You can't actually see very well in a big jeep or a big van,you just have to go careful to be sure.Only a man!
Some people have no manners or common sense. A dear friend of ours nearly lost a leg in a bike accident and doctors saved it by putting an experimental cage thing on it, pins in the bone kind of thing. Anyway, he went shopping, could drive an auto as it was his left leg, and someone told him off for parking in a disabled space. He had this huge chunk of titanium, carbon fibre and steel screwed onto his leg and someone with no obvious signs of disability dared to tell him off. He is too nice to have retaliated but had I been with him I certainly would have.
I have a nasty habit of telling people off for using the parent and child spaces when they are obviously on their own and so far with a 100% success rate. Those parked with no child seats (two seater sports cars...) tend to get snotty notes left saying something along the lines of "For people with children, not those who behave like them". Good on Asda and Sainbury's who fine those found parked in the wrong place. And good on Asda for having spaces for expectant mums only. Brill idea.
