[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 105507, member: 1904"] I have a 2yr old that hates shopping but at times it's unavoidable and he goes with me. I am always confronted by people who think they can parent my child...and I am tired of it. The last time this happened, Johnnie was in full out tantrum over not getting candy...I tend to stop dead in my tracks and let him work it out. I tell him after that he made too much noise and fuss and wasn't getting it...one lady tried to hand it to him! But the kicker was the one who suggested walloping his butt...her own husband told her to shut the f up and he smacked her [img]:smile:[/img] I just smile and say he's having a rough time and please be patient. To the ones who keep rolling their eyes and sighing...I always ask if they have kids and when they say no(and most of them do) I just smile back, sigh and say "wait your turn...I am sure you will raise perfectly quiet, sneaky little monsters."....gets them every time.. Just keep doing what you do when you are out...you need make no explanations/apologies....your child isn't being rude and it's too bad there are adults out there who have forgotten what children are like...
