Respect????.....REALLY???????

I took the kids to Wal-Mart this morning to do our grocery shopping and was pleasantly surprised by how well they behaved while in the grocery section. Anyways, I need to get a new chain for my necklace and went to the jewlery section to look for one, well Michaela found that one of the TV's was playing CARS....and pointed it out to Logan and FYI Logan is ALL about CARS. To say he LOVES it is an understatement. After not finding what I was looking for, I took my cart full of groceries and was heading to the till, well Logan didn't want to go he was glued to the movie so I had to go and pick him up, well that just started a whole scene. Screaming and yelling and all that fun stuff. Now usually I just pick up the kids and we leave but we were so close to the finish line that I needed to finish our outing. So I chose my line and waited for our turn all the while Logan is screaming and the Old couple in fromt of us were glaring, I tend to ignore these glances because they are just being ignorant. Well the glares did not stop there, they were making their own little snide comments which for the most part I choose to ignore until the lady said that they were acting this way becasue they get their own way at home. Well that was the last straw and I went off on her. Basically people have no right to say things like that (especially so that the parents can hear). If you can't handle the noise that kids make realize that it is not fun for the parents either and keep your opinions to yourself. They have no idea the situation that brought on the tantrum or how we deal with the kids at home and for them to make such a blantantly RUDE and totally uncalled for remark as that one they were just asking for trouble. Parents have all the right to defend themselves and their kids against ignorant people such as that, so just be prepared for the backlash if you choose to be ignorant.
Well luckily for this lady, (because I had both barrels loaded and ready to go) a manager came and asked me if I would prefer to be served at another til (they were opening one up for me) because I didn't need to be treated in such a manner and said that people have no right to make comments like that. So to her I am thankful.
Kids have tantrums and it doesn't matter if they get their own way at home or not, that is just the nature of kids..they will try and really...if I don't give into them in public am I really going to give into them at home?
So again I ask....RESPECT YOUR ELDERS.....REALLY? NOT WHEN THEY ACT LIKE THAT I WON'T!!!!!!!!!
