The screaming had escalated from nothing, to gentle whimper to a big scream...over a period of time. They did not come in with the baby upset/colicky.
I don't know, I suppose I just don't get how you couldn't just hold your baby and acknowledge that it's not happy - I know if I'm upset, it's comforting to be comforted...and I'm an adult with words and the ability to rationalise a situation that I'm in! Also, as someone who hates shopping centres, I guess I have seen how much I can live without the all-important earring shopping and Oscar has spent minimal time in big shops. When I AM there, Oscar takes priority.
As for speaking rudely, it's not a great example to be setting as a reaction to an annoyance!
Maybe it's me you're talking about! I was in medicare the other day and had had the LONGEST most challenging morning with coco. I think I said something under my breath like "be quiet you little sh*t"......sorry, but I think that's fair enough, I was going CRAZY. I can tell you, I love my babies more than anything, but sometimes I need to let it out (quietly but I know the woman in front heard)!!! Im not too worried if Im judged, I know I'm a good mum, but sometimes it's SOOO frustrating. I understand the people that lose it in the shops, I actually feel sympathy for them!! xo
