Experienced a new first today

Br

Usually when I have to go to the grocery store my sister watches her for me since she’s on summer break, but she’s not home today. I try to go during the day so I figured eh how bad could it be?

Way worse than I imagined😂😂😂

She’s so nosy that I think she hates being worn since she still faces me and can’t see much. Usually I’m able to calm her down but not this time. So I take her out and carry her around figuring she’ll be okay once I’m checking out since she’ll only be in for a few minutes. She was chilling like this as we walked around, great!

I put her back in to check out and she screamed so loud I swear the whole town could hear her. She couldn’t even hear the white noise I put on from YouTube.

I know this is a “me” issue and I need to work on it, but I HATE when people stare when I know they’re silently judging. There’s men staring at me everywhere, some were even glaring and rolling their eyes at me. So while I’m trying not to get flustered about that and keep trying to calm her down, I’m also trying to unload my cart. The women behind me starts to help. Then another women shut her register down to come help me bag as I was calling my husband in tears to come help me since he was working in the area. I kept thanking them all over and over again, and they all just kept saying “it’s not a problem! We’re all moms we understand. We’ve been there”

As I was walking out I felt 1,000,000 times better knowing there’s women out there who are willing to help another mom out and not even bat an eye. I didn’t even get to tell them this was the first time she had a melt down like that, and the first time people were so kind and helping towards me and my daughter 💜
