WinCo Troubles

Today, while Jacob and I were shopping at WinCo, Jacob decided to have a melt down in the cart. Like a full out melt down. He was screaming, big tears running down his face, and screaming, at the top of his lungs that he wanted to leave. The sad part is, is that I had just started. We happened to pass this couple a few times during this said melt down. They were older, didn't take great care of themselves (I'm talking, nasty hair, the guys belly was hanging over his pants and out of his shirt, they just looked gross). I eventually got Jacob to calm down with one of those bouncy balls that they sell over by produce. The guy I just mentioned passed after Jacob was calmed down and said in a sneery voice "at least he's not crying". WHAT!!!!!!! I wanted to punch him and tell him to go take a shower because he smelled. But I didn't. I just smiled and kept walking. But inside, I was livid. Who says stuff like that. Like it's his business anyway. He has obviously never been with a 2 year old when that 2 year old has his mind set on something or during a tantrum. Lovely. It's probably good that I didn't say anything because I would have regretted it later. But it still made me mad!

You did the right thing - you need to remember, people like that have no social skills . . . they truly are ignorant, in every meaning of the word. Kudos to you for just ignoring them!! Love you.

I would have a hard time not saying anything, so props to you for not. People are stupid and trashy sometimes, what a nerd. At least you were the bigger person and didn't say anything.

Good for you Val! I am more than willing to keep him while you do the grocery thing. Just let me know. But the smelly guy either doesn't have or never kids cuz they are always the ones that have rude things to say or give advise!! but good for you. I probably would have said something and then been sorry!!
