Confirmed that it is stupid people's day, I have dealt with them here (not this group), on face book and I went to Walmart we were checking out and both girls got new babies. The cashier goes is it someones birthday and I said no this is their reward for doing their chores, (My girls are two and three) she had the nerve to ask me how often I did this, bitch! I told her once a month and she goes well my kids are the same age as yours and the only chore I can think of they can do is pick up their room, I looked at her and said apparently you are not creative enough there are lots of things they can help with and they would love to do, dumb ass!
brat, former 
I thought about offering the folding laundry and dusting but I was so annoyed by her I thought screw it!
Quoting Wyndi:heck at that age mine were dusting, folding wash cloths and picking up after themselves. DUH!
Sadly some ppl cant think. My DD is 3 , she helps me load the dishwasher, cleans up her toys, dust well thats mostly her playing with the dust mop hehe, she does lots of stuff. Great work on teaching your kids, her kids will be the ones to not do anything .
I dont know why you are calling someone an idiot for simply asking you a question.Seems kind of harsh to me
I think what pissed me off the most was when she asked "Do you do this every week" well big friggin deal if I do, I should have told her that got a large swimming pool this summer, URG. Thanks ladies I am glad to see other women teaching little one responsibility and having fun with their children at the same time.
It was the tone of voice and the questions she was asking, None of her business!

I probably would've said the same thing as the cashier. Whenever I was working in retail (and after I had my DD), I'd always look for ideas from other parents. To me, asking you how often you buy them a reward for doing their chores wasn't rude. And saying that the only thing she can think of was picking up their room wasn't rude either. My DD, who's 2 1/2, is far too rambunctious to help me. Whenever I try to have her help me with the dishes, she always tries to grab the knives first (out of the dishwasher). Folding laundry? Forget it. She doesn't have the patience right now to learn how to fold clothes or towels. Sometimes she'll come up and want to help, and then I'll show her how. But she'll quickly lose interest and move on to something else.
My nephew is the opposite. He can sit for hours and help you with something. He'll help you with the laundry, or the dishes, or picking up his toys. Not all kids are the same, and if you can get your kids to do more chores, then that's awesome, and I'd ask you how you did it. Because my DD certainly won't stand around long enough (2 minutes is too long for her) to get anything done. So we clean up her room, and sometimes she helps me clean up the living room. But that's about it.
omg, i know, i cannot buy ANYTHING at our walmart without getting a comment about it. I just want to go to the store and buy my crap and get out, i dont need a conversation, tips on how to cook what im buying, or stupid comments. I bought ice cream and cookies once and the lady's like "somebody's got a sweet tooth, those are mommy's treats arent they", yep lady, im goin home and eatin it all too. then goes on to tell me about her husband telling her she's too fat to get pregnant right now, she'll have to lose weight first. Is that seriously something you tell a random customer?
