But I have to say, I think you handled it the right way at that moment. I am sure in your state of mind anything you said would have been taken the wrong way because as we all know, being a woman, when we are upset or excited we are always taken as "needing to calm down" which of course, is the very LAST thing we want to be told at that point. <br /><br />I have yelled at my undeserving child out of frustration and felt so guilty for it afterwards. You're not alone there. My suggestion for your own satisfaction, would be to call that store and talk to the manager again. This time you will be calmer and away from your child so you are able to be more honest and possibly even educate an ignorant person in the process. <br /><br />Good luck Saritza! And keep going with your gut! ;)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361105973854298234noreply@blogger.com
