My son is on vacation the next week. So yesterday when I took my son for a second walk of the day to the playground, He got kinda overtired and was having a meltdown hitting me, and bitting me, headbutting me when possible on my arm. Because he didn't want to have to walk back, it's like a half mile and he's 5. Normally he can do that walk but he was tired.
Today again it was later in the day and he woke up at 4am and he looked kind of tired and I didn't want to have the same thing happen so I took the stroller. Yes he is old enough to walk and I know this, but I didn't want him beating me up either for a half mile and I already knew he was tired. So we're walking back and he was happy in the stroller, and some woman screams from her car, "he's too big for a stroller" at that point i didn't even realize she was talking to me because she was like 20 feet away, then as she was pulling in the drive way- No blinker either, screamed "His feet work better you know!!" So I was kind of shocked and just kept walking, but kind of wanted to go back and explain that "I didn't want to get bit for half a mile and he has Autism and do you have a special needs child? I think your mouth is better closed ya know?" but as usual I just kept walking and didn't say anything. And I'm venting now... I kind of knew you all would understand.
You did good not saying anything. Sometimes it is better to just ignore it. Hopefully, you won't have to deal with it again.
My kids older (young adult now)--I learned (although hard at times) in one ear out the other---like my kiddo potty trained a lot lot lot older (12-I adopted him and he would of been older but I would say maybe around 5 or 6 if I had him that young)--so hey giving him one gummy bear at a time darn worked but some school psychologist-told me not to do that-in one ear out the other--better than having his commode tipped over, pooped smeared all over, and him peeing and pooing pants-but I am thinking hey lady you try to potty train a 12 year old--gummy bears work and I am using them--- in one ear out the other Oh he has been using toilet for years now
Oh wow I hate when people do that! When we brought Austin home for the first time people would look at my weird if we went to the store with his constant crying. He has severe brain damage and a lot of kids with his condition are hard to sooth. They do not sooth like a 'normal' child. So they'd tell me to do this. or that. EXCUSE me. I would sit through 6 hrs at a time of crying at a time and tried EVERYTHING! UGH
who do you let watch your kids ?
