what would you have said?
The other day I attended a childrens function with my husband and baby. Baby needed a diaper change so off we headed. As I was walking into the ladies room (diaper in hand) I passed a few other mother's one of them watched me walk up then as i was passing she turns to the other mother and says in a very snotty tone, "shouldn't he be in pull-ups by now?" referring to my son. I just shook my head and blew it off thinking I wouldn't get in an argument about catty comments with a catty woman I didn't even know while carrying my child. Now I'm thinking what could I have said? I should have said something. Maybe, no lady my baby isn't even a yr and a half yet how the hell is he supposed to get on the pot? or maybe "i know our children where playing together and that mine is bigger than yours and surpasses yours developmentally in almost every way but he's really a good deal younger." or maybe just decked her. what do you think?

I always just pipe up with Ian's age, like in a breezy voice over my shoulder. "Oh, he's only two." Anyway, what a bitch! BTW, you never comment on MY blog. Back to the point, why do people feel entitled to make comments like that anyway? IDK. I never say things like that. Well, you looked like the bigger person anyway. And, NO, you shouldn't have gotten into a catfight w/your kid there. I have been tempted believe me. I got into a gesture argument at the drive-thru once. It got to the point where I was going to get out of my car, but realized I couldn't do that in front of my kid b/c that's not the way I want him to grow up. So, you're raising your son better than that woman by not acting like some crazy woman in front of him.
