So I met this mom in my daughters girl scout troop. I'm 27 and shes 43 but we hit it off good. Her daughter is 1 yr younger than mine and her son is in the same class as my daughter. So our kids get along really well.

Anyways we exchanged numbers and after hanging out at the girl scouts meetings for a few months we decided to set up a play date.

Well it was a complete disaster.

We planned a movie night.

Since my husband took the car to work she picked my daughters and I up to go to walmart to buy the snacks. Well not even 5 minutes inside of walmart and her kids (whom we will call Susie and Jon ) started acting up.

Kids will be kids ... I get that . But Susie and Jon were the worse kids I have ever seen. Susie was running around the chip aisle throwing random stuff into the cart. The mom kept taking it out and this child started screaming at the top of her lungs. The mom says "you know what no chips" and puts everything back. So we move on to the pizza and icecream. Little jon decides to smack susie on the head and take of running... susie is screaming at the top of her lungs again.

We get the pizza and icecream at this point I'm annoyed. I want to leave already. The mom (we'll call her Jennifer) wants me to help her pick out makeup because she knows I'm a makeup artist. So I'm like ok cool.. we go to the makeup were looking around... little susie and Jon start playing tag running back and forth in that aisle. My daughter is just standing there watching them cause she knows better than to join them. Jennifer noticed but keeps browsing the foundations.

The toy aisle is right across from us and susie and Jon ask to see the toys. Jennifer says yes. I'm dreading coming with them already. Next thing I know susie is throwing around bouncy balls and Jon is scream crying because he wants a Lego set and mom says no. I tell my daughter to not ask for anything because we are just looking (trying to hint to the other kids ...) the mom just tells them to "settle down".

We manage to get put of walmart 45 minutes later. I kid you not we were there almost 2 hours.

We get to my house and all hell breaks loose.

Apparently her kids are deadly afraid of dogs. I have an English bulldog and a pug puppy. Well we get inside and as soon as susie sees the dogs behind the gate in the kitchen she once again starts screaming (to the point where the neighbor knocked on my door and asked if we were okay) and runs to the couch where she crawls on to with her dirty shoes. Jon is yelling that he is scared and starts whimpering. At this point my blood is boiling those are brand new couches my husband just finished paying off and the yelling and screaming is making my 3 month old cry. I kindly ask susie to put her feet down but shes sobbing saying she wants to go home little jon then starts yelling at her to "shut up "because he doesn't want to leave. Mom says "we just got here ". So I took my dogs to the laundry room ... made the pizzas movie is on they finally cool down for a few minutes. Jon sees my 3month old in her bouncer and starts pinching her cheeks and trying to pick her up. The mom does get up and tells him to.not touch the baby. Does he listen? No. I move her to the kitchen with me.

My dogs start barking because they have to go out so I tell the mom and kids to just sit and chill the dogs are just walking by and going outside. Well the kids ran to my daughters room and locked themselves in their. I didnt say anything took the dogs and came back. Well I open the door to say "im bringing the dogs back in" and the screaming starts again. Susie again begs to go home.

The mom can tell that I'm pretty upset despite me not saying or making any faces. She apologizes and they leave. She texted me and apologized again and said she was embarrassed. She said she was a bad mom. Instead of being judgey I responded with encouraging words.

Sorry for that long story but I really want to keep hanging out with her but I don't want to be around her kids. I feel bad cause shes a single mom and I know it's hard sometimes.

What do you guys think about all this in general?...
