A WOMAN HAD SCREAMED AT HIM, WHEN HIS BABY CRIED AT THE GROCERY STORE, HIS RESPONSE SHAMED THE WOMAN
A father was with his 6-month-old baby, when he noticed that a woman was following him at the grocery store. There was no problem, until she started to talk to him, and the baby.
The father had shared the story on Reddit’s r/AITA subreddit, and explained that his baby was teething, and therefore, he sometimes was cranky.
So he took his son with him, because he was the only person that was caring, since the mother was passed. As he didn’t changed his crying manner, the father decided to get in the grocery store and leave under five minutes, as fast as he could.
There was a woman that was following him on the every aisle he went in, and when he was in the line for check up, he needed to put the baby down to his carrier. That made him moody a little bit. Since he was stressed that his son was cranky, he wasn’t on the mood either.
Then the lady came towards him, as they were on the line to pay, and said, “maybe next time he should stay at home with mommy don’t you think?”, the father had stated that he usually is not a confrontational person, but that time, as he was stressed, he said to the woman, “Well his mom passed away so why don’t you just mind your damm business already and go.”
The woman got shocked, as she didn’t expecting a response like that. Everyone now on the father’s side, since they learned that he was a widower, and a single father.
At the parking lot, the woman had approached to him again, and tried to apologize, as he was still stressed. The father said that please leave me alone, and be on your way, and went in to his car.
At the home, he was thinking that if he was wrong, and if he went to far as he was rude towards a woman. Since he is calm now, and his son stopped his crying, he is able to think of his actions. The father said, “Im home now more calm and wondering if she had a point. Because like I said normally I’m not like that with people but since it was already a hard day and stuff it infuriated me so bad. Was it an overreaction though?”
A Redditor had stated that the father had no wrong doings, “People definitely should not be so nosy about a child crying.”
Some other Redditors had shared their similar experiences with the OP, under the comments section.
