I've had some shockers in the shops, usually it tends to be the times when Matilda has decided to escape out of the pram & run as fast as she can, so I am running pulling the pram with Jovie in it... or she has massive tantrums where the only thing I can do it pick her up & put her under my arm so I can push the pram and run out as quick as I can. I've waited tantrums out in parents rooms before & its not fun.

However, despite all the awful times in the shops, I try to make sure I don't insult my child. I may say "Mummy is getting really frustrated now, please BE QUIET!" and be firm and cranky about it, but I guess thats the way I handle things.
