I love my child. I love him with all my heart. But tonight he forced me to almost be turned into one of those Crazy Mini Van Moms! You know, the ones you pull up along side of and all you see is a left arm and shoulder driving because their head has turned around backwards like that scene in the Exorcist and they are flailing their right arm at whatever kid they can reach! Yea, that was almost me, just minus the minivan because I was in a truck. But ugh! I know he is 2 (well almost anyway), I know he doesn’t understand everything, but I know he understands when I tell him there is no juice in the car!!! I don’t even have a long drive from his sitter to home anymore, and tonight we had to stop at Lowe’s to pick up a dishwasher connection thingy for the dishwasher that is being installed tomorrow. (YAY!) He screamed the whole way there. Then in the store he pitched a fit and I became that annoying parent in the grocery store who’s kid is screaming and won’t stop. Everyone is walking around the store wondering why you won’t shut your kid up and is annoyed that you haven’t just left. I totally get that now. 1) your kid has to learn to deal with life! I do not produce Fruit Snacks and there for I can not pull them out of my a$$ whenever you want them. The fact that I told you we could get some when we get home should satisfy you. 2) My kid may be being a pain, but remember I am the one having to deal with it. 3) Obviously I am in the store because I NEED SOMETHING!
I just wanted to smack the woman standing next to me at Lowe’s. She actually had the nerve to ask me if I could take him outside! And do what, have the guy at the customer service desk bring the part out to my car? Then she tried to hand him candy from her purse! Who the H do you think you are! Thanks for that lady! Now he knows if he screams loud enough someone will give him candy and then his B of a mom will tell them no! I of course politely declined but seriously would you ever do that? After several more minutes of her huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes and whispering to the guy she was with I finally said something to her. I was like, if it bothers you why don’t you go stand in another line? But I am having an appliance being delivered tomorrow and I have to pick up this part, my husband is deployed so I can’t just go sit in the car and leave my kid out there because he is being loud, I just got off work, and I have to take this kid home and deal with him all night so I would appreciate it if you would stop trying to help me parent my child when I don’t know you before I start to get louder them him.
Needless to say the lady turned around and shut up and the nice manager of Lowe’s appeared very quickly with the part and I exited the building.
