I felt guilty not that long ago because DD (15 months) waved hello at an older girl at the shops the other day and the girl didn't wave back. DD looked soo disappointed that I burst into tears right there at the checkout at Coles..I felt really bad for my DD...Looking back it was probably pregnancy hormones that caused my reaction but even now I can see her sad little face and it still hurts
TOTALLY in agreement with you here Delph!

Happens to my daughter as well She considers EVERY kid she meets her *new best friend* ... Breaks my heart everytime a kid rejects her friendliness ... but instead of bursting into tears, er, I explain rather LOUDLY that the reason the child didn't say hello back is due to the parenting :O ... wait, is that being a mean mum or just being a b!tch?
