Am I allowed to rant here? **rant beginning*** (let me know if I’m wrong) Soooo I almost had to tell some people off in…

Everyone can sit here and say how they would handle the situation better, but every situation is different. Even if it's the same scenario, it's different people we each deal with, and we all handle things differently. There is not one single person in the world who could handle every negative interaction with class. At some point, everyone is going to either lose their cool, or make a decision that others would judge or frown upon. We do what feels right for us at the time, even if looking back, you think it could have been done differently.

So i think people are going to be rude no matter what you choose to do. I would have done whatever i needed to get my groceries and my kid out of the store safely. People don't like your loud, rambunctious child? Oh well. I would have continued on with my business because I'm sure as hell not spending all that time just to come out empty handed and end up having to come back and do it all over again. Nope.

I don't think you were wrong. I probably would have done the same if I were in that situation. My priority would have been to get my son and myself out of that stressful situation, even if that meant having to drop everything and just walk out the store. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Breathe momma. Your to have ykur moments. But i usually try and make a cereal reckless when my boys was small and would throw fits. As the sort. So if well within the shopping when the cart is still its snack time. I've been there and it's def hard with so much judgement but you did you and at a later day you can shop all over. But Walmart has the free grocery pickup. Go online and shop and schedule to pucknit up i believe it is free.

Honestly, my knee jerk reaction is to say that you were most definitely wrong for leaving the way you did. The cashier did nothing to deserve so much extra work. And forgive me if I’m wrong, but it sounds as though you were almost done if you were trying to pay already? That being said, I have anxiety. Very bad anxiety. And I have definitely been overwhelmed to the point where my eyes fill up with tears and I can’t speak and everything around me moves too quickly and I feel like throwing up. I have been there soooo many times and all I could do is leave whatever situation I was in as fast as possible so I could feckin’ breathe. I have also received snarky comments from assholes who, for a reason God doesn’t even know, feel the need to give me unwanted advice. Hard to say what I would have done, as I wasn’t there, but I probably would have told everyone to fuck off, if I’m being completely honest. If my kid is acting up and no one wants to step in and offer to HELP me or be patient and kind toward someone clearly going through some shit, then they can fuck themselves. Thankfully, my anxiety isn’t nearly as bad when people act that way toward me. I just catch an attitude and move even slower just to piss them off 😂

I definitely wouldn't have left the groceries. Kids throw tantrums, people will just have to deal with it. You'll probably never see most of those people again, so their comments are void to you. As @kellynicole said I would've felt worse leaving all those groceries there for the employees to have to put back. I'm glad you've decided to have them delivered from now on. It sounds like it will be a lot less stress for you and your son.

Maaaaan mama ive been there but i try my damnest to keep my cool and aplogize to everyone for my kids behavior. If they don understand then screw them. You did your best.... thats all you could do

Also that woman was trying to be nice by paying for your kids so you were rude for that too

I think it was rude to put more work on the employees just cause your kid was acting up

Im sorry you had such a bad moment. But why did you not strap him in the cart where they can sit? A kid should never be in the cart area but strapped in the sitting area.

I think you could have at least finished your transaction and got your stuff. That was a bit extra.

You are not wrong momma's it can be a struggle to go out shopping with kids some people just don't understand how that goes because they don't have kids so they're rude which fucking sucks why don't you do the online shopping like at Walmart or something I'm sorry you went through this

Going alone to grocery stores with kids is stressful. People can be rude, but if you need groceries, you can't really do much. Sorry you had a bad experience. Don't let it get to you. Tomorrow is a new day. I do grocery pick-up or delivery because my anxiety spikes in large crowds.

Eta- I do think you were a little dramatic about it, but I understand fighting kids when you are alone and being stressed about it.

You’re wrong.

You are not alone! I get soooo anxious when I try to go shopping with my kids. The moment they act up I leave the store instantly because I panic. People can be so rude and it makes situations ten times worse. That's why I do Walmart grocery pickup. I avoid those situations at all costs. I'm so sorry you experienced that!
