[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 357222, member: 1233"] I didn't mean that is was in any way WM's fault. Of course it wasn't. But the store should still have done an incident report if their people were on the ball. There are a lot of people who WOULD sue WM over this, esp if they couldn't get info on the parent to sue them. Some people just hoover that way. I agree the mom should have thanked you profusely. You saved her child from a very risky situation - being outside in a public place near busy streets while in full meltdown. in my opinion the parent sure is NOT leading by good example. Part of me wants to cut the mom a break because the late hour, the kids meltdown, etc.... But you know what? Regardless of the situation, had MY difficult child done something like that? I would have profusely apologized and then thanked you very sincerely. I would have PUSHED my contact info on you so that if you needed medical care I could pay for it. I problem would have begged you to stay there while I either got ice from the snack bar (if they had one), or got an instant ice pack from the pharmacy. This mom's reaction gives ALL moms of difficult children a black eye. I hope your hand feels better soon. If it hurts a lot, or is swollen, keep it above the level of your heart as much as you can. My mom's hand surgeon swears by this. Dad nagged the daylights out of mom after her last two surgeries on her hands so that she kept her hand mostly above her heart. It speeded her healing up dramatically. VERY big change from the one operation where she didn't do that. (Mom has both wrists fused because no cartilage between the little bones because arthritis,) [/QUOTE]
