Not helping

Today, while trying to calm down my four-year-old son who was having a tantrum in a store, a man walked up to me and said, "You couldn't have worn a condom?" FML

He couldn't have kept his mouth shut? The gall of people amaze me. Have some decency; yes, the child is annoying (even to the mother!) but that's no reason to be an absolute dick face to her because your ears are bothered.

"Well, your dad didn't either, so I guess that makes the both of us."

What a dick! I hope you said something snooty in return. I know I would have. I would probably have pulled a Kevin Hart and said, "Mind your own motherfucking business bitch!" Good luck OP!

You know, if you weren't trying to calm your kid it would've been more appropriate but he saw you trying so what a douchebag.

It's not abuse if you don't slap him more than once. I remember while working in a department store this kid was starting to throw a tantrum. His dad picked him up and gave him a quick slap. Kid shut up. Everyone is happy. Learn from his wisdom.

Depends on how bad of a parent you are for me to disagree or agree.

Oh 4uck him!! I don't even like kids, but I know that at that age, you're just glad they managed to put their pants on both legs before they ran out of the house. Being a parent is HARD WORK!

Sigh.... I work in retail so the only thing I can think of is this... Control your children or remove them from the store they are causing a scene to get what they want. DO NOT GIVE IN.

I actually got congratulated once when my kid threw a fit over a toy he wanted and I would not give in. But it's kind of a lose-lose scenario, the way you set it up... the only way to "control a child" (i.e. stop the tantrum) is to give in. So which should it be? I guarantee not one person on this thread who has typed "control your child" actually has any children. You can physically restrain small children to keep them from running off, but that's about all the "control" that is possible. I do agree that tantruming kids should be removed from public when possible.

it happens, I say control you child or leave. & I have 2 of my own. If you can control them, hire a sitter & leave them at home. I don't want to hear any kid throwing a fit
