Really Worried

[GabbertA]

   So today I was at the mall with my son, my mom, and my youngest sister for a girls day. We went into a store and my mom and I both went up to the register. My sister was watching my son while he was in his stroller less than four feet away from us and in full site of us. She's almost 11 and perfectly capable of playing with my son while he's in his stroller. He started to cry while I was checking out and the whole process took less than 3 minutes. Hoemwwver some woman tried taking my son out of his stroller while he was trying to get out without asking as I was turning to take the stroller back. I asked her nicely to please step away from my child and my sister. And she freaked out saying I needed to parent my child, that I was a bad mother, and that I should be watching him. After she said that I got upset and told her if she out her hands on my child again that I would call the police considering she was trying to take him out. Long story short I just really need a bit of support and encouraging. Myself, my mother, and my sister were all watching him. My sister was holding his hands and trying to play with him
And my mother and I were less than four feet away. I realize that he started to cry and try to unbuckle himself but it was going on for less than a minute and he wasn't being loud about it. I'm not sure if it's the pregnancy hormones but I just feel like a failure as a mother now..

Definitely not. You have every right to freak out and call the police. Hell, you were nice, I would have definitely told off and punched her for her comment and touching my baby! Crazy lady, thats how children get kidnapped. It's not hormones, it's being a mother.
