UGH yesterday was a horrible day for me! Everything was a NO from my son filled with lots of temper tantrums, and plus my daughter who is normally an angel was acting up! I had a migraine by noon and medicine didn't help and of course the kids just continued to drive me crazy, i ended up taking them to the indoor playground at the mall and just letting my son loose while i sat down and watched.
BUT, instead of getting to enjoy some peaceful sitting while my son let off some energy, another mother came up to me and was like "excuse me, is that you son?" I said yes and she says, "you know he's on the slide by himself right?" I looked at her weirdly, but just politely said yes. First off the slide is three feet off the ground and is made of a cushy material, secondly the floor is rubber and thirdly my son will be 3 in a month! He does NOT need me to help him on the slide, or any other thing in the play area, and there were only 5 other kids there so it's not ,like he was going to trample anyone!
The lady just kept pestering me about everything my son did, because OMG HOW could I possibly let my almost 3 year old son be independent and play by himself, I mean what WAS I thinking?? So this lasted for about 20 minutes of her constantly coming up to me to report the happenings of my son(which by the way I could CLEARLY see from my seat!) until i had to carry my daughter around just to follow and make sure my son didn't get hurt in the completely cushy, rubber made, toddler approved play area!!! All the while with my head pounding like someones hitting me with a hammer with every step i took! UGH I wanted to either hit her or tell her to mind her own f* business so badly! Why am I so nice to complete strangers???
Now i don't care if you are severely overprotective of your child and don't want them playing on their own and want them clinging to you until they are 45 but for God's sake leave me and my independent son out of it!! Crazy as this may sound, my son IS fully capable of rambling around the toddler approved play area inside the freakin mall, without my assistance!!
UGH why am I still upset about that?

You should have told her, yes, I know thank you I can see. And ignore her!

That would have been the perfect thing to say to her.

You don't have to be nice to strangers at all. I wouldn't, but I'm always very loose with my mouth...lol. I would've told her listen lady, I can see from here and my son is capable of playing on his own. Leave him and me alone before nasty words come out of my mouth because at that point I will no longer be able to control myself. Then leave it with a thank you and have a nice day....heehee.
lol, I am a lot like mami... there comes a point where my mouth has a mind of its own and I just start spitting c%ap when I'm attacked like that! who is she? your own mom??? excuse me, YOU are the mother, you know your kid and what he can and can't do....
Speaking of which. I am a little saddened by the fact that my parents are going back home in a week. However, I almost need to say that I am ready to have my house and independence back for a bit now... I miss them to death and love them equally as much, BUUUUUT, it is a constant battle of who is right or wrong... or ... actually how WRONG I am to bring up my daughter the way I do... because in their eyes (mostly my mom) I do no good.
I am so sorry to take over your post mego, but I needed it out of my chest! lol ;P

i have to give you kudos. i would have gone completely balistic on the nosey woman. my boys are like your son (they're not 3 yet) SO independent. unless they're having a mommy day they want to do it on their own. if i try to help they push me away. lol. if the area is cushioned, toddler approved then i honestly don't see a problem letting an almost 3 year old run around like a wild man. that's what those areas are for. let mom relax while kid goes crazy playing.
you should have told her how can she keep an eye on her children if she can only keep an eye on yours.
V - I think we are related because your mom is exactly like mine. I'm a rotten, evil mother who doesn't do enough for my son and she knows everything.....ugh!!! Wish I could send my mom away for some independence...lol. Sorry mego, needed to just tell V that...haha.
you could've said... "yea i know, but all those meds i gave him for the swine flu symptoms he has have made him hyper." At that point you shout across to your son, "honey, stop wiping your boogers on there!" 10 bucks says she would've cleared out of there in 2 seconds.
HAHAHAHA omg tired that is hilarious!!!!!
LOL, tiredbuthappy!
first off your son is def capable of playing like that by myself while you just sit and waych my daughter is 3 and can do alll that by herself as well its just ignorent people with nothing better to do with thyre time than pester an obviously tired frustrated mom. believe me i get some looks too when im trying to tell allie not to yell at me and im like if you dont like it dont look you may let your kids yell at you but mine are not!! dont even pay attention your son is way old enough to be running around in a mall play area by myself without you holding his hand as long as you can see him and im sure it was gated cause it was the mall you r def fine dont even worry bout it. just bored moms who think thyre better its dum...or thy prolly only have 1 kid and dont understand the stressfull ness of multibles close in age!! i dooo so dont worry!! your a good mom!! :)
OMG Tiredbuthappy i wish I would've thought about that HAHAHAHA!!! I really wanted to say something to her, but UGH i'm just too damn nice to people and jsut didn't feel like getting into it with her at that time.
At least I wasn't the only parent there being harassed, she kept going over to all the othr parents too, one father who kindly told her to"shut the hell up and watch your own kid"..she ignored him the rest of the time, guess i should've followed his idea!
If i see her there again and she starts the same ****, i'm using the swine flu line, that should work perfectly.

She has no life apparently. What is she the child monitor of the playground?
I guess she thought she was!
Not sure about the person herself that would come up to another mother and chastise like that. Wow, that was seriously rude to you.
I like your thought, though. Next time just ride with that thought and let the mouth spout it out. The swine flu comment was also very good and inventive. I may keep that one for myself.

yeah next time just be like look lady watch your own kids and mind your own business thank you. lol bored people man lol they get on my nerves lol
sounds like she has some anxiety issues going on, and OCD, and couldn't let it go. Maybe next time offer her a xanax....
Hey Mego!
It sounds like the woman has a nose and a control problem. I salute you, I would have let her have her say once, and after that it would have been very difficult not to tell her something like,..... How does my child having a good time on this playground have anything to do with you?????
I think she needs more than a xanax! LOL

I know, I was surprised myself I was able to contain myself through that ****. What really bugged me was all the dirty looks she sent me after she came over to tell me about my son and i didn't immediately jump up like it was the end of the world lol She just sent dirty looks like i was an unfit mother or something, ugh
I kinda hope she's there today, I have a plan. I'm just gonna do to her what she did to me so she can get the "umm excuse me, did you know your daughter is playing by HERSELF?" for the rest of her stay there! See how she likes it.
That would just make my day! :)

lol an unfit mom doesnt take her kids to play at indoor playground and have them feed and clean ans happy. member a happy mom is a better mom. but sometimes theres people out there who think thyre better than you cause were young moms and not millionaires lol i wouldnt even bother with people like that dont let her no she got to you and that will **** her off more lol just do what you do and let him have fun forget that lady who who has nada better to do than judge!! lol goodluck!!
swine flu comment: PRICELESS.
Jez, maybe we should ship them off together (to Caribean Whine-Cruise) so that they could 'vent' on each other how miserable they are and how evil of daughters they have because they are harming their grandchildren for life! lol ;P
I have a problem with my mouth... can't keep it shot, specially when I sense 'noseyness'.... gosh I could even tell my boss off if I had the chance! lol
Us moms will NEVER do any good in the eyes of the rest of the people. NEVER. (I've come to find out....)
