It Finally Happened: Why I’m the Mom Who’s Crying In Walmart

We stood in line for several minutes, me ignoring her whining and refusing to give in. What’s giving in to bad behavior going to do but reinforce the bad behavior? I’ve walked out of stores hundreds of times because of her. Almost every time, actually, I end up leaving with nothing I came for and a tantrum-having 4-year-old attached to my hand and a baby on my hip, but this time I had to stick it out to get the groceries.

I tell her for the tenth time to sit down so she doesn’t fall and the next thing I hear is a woman behind me in line saying “Oh, for C****t’s sake give her a cookie so she’ll shut up!”
