A man noticed a lady following him in the grocery store for a few minutes.
He had gone there to grab some stuff with his 6-month-old baby when a strange incident happened.
He noticed that the woman followed him into every aisle he stepped in. Everything was fine until she started conversing with him and his baby.
Her last comment made the man lose his temper, while other people in the store looked at them in shock. He saw the woman’s face flush red when he snapped at her. The 27-year-old man shared that he had to take his child to the grocery store because no one else could look after him.
His baby had been feeling cranky lately because he was teething. After stepping out of his house, he realized he had forgotten the baby carrier at his mother’s place. So he placed his baby in a stroller and decided not to spend more than five minutes in the grocery store.
He explained:
“Normally, he’s calm when I have him in his baby carrier because right now he just wants to be held by me.”
As he shuffled through the aisles looking for the things he had to buy, he saw the same lady pop up everywhere. Since the store was not that huge, he believed it might be a coincidence. OP confessed he was a reserved person and always avoided confrontation, but this lady was asking for it.
However, when his son started crying, the lady interfered and said, “He’s hungry.
Why didn’t you bring his bottle?”
He told her his son had his meal fifteen minutes earlier, so he wasn’t crying because of hunger. After hearing his response, she started talking to the baby:
“Uh oh, sure hope your daddy remembered to change your diaper this morning.”
OP (Original Poster) knew his son’s diaper wasn’t dirty. But instead of replying to the lady, he hurried towards the checkout counter, holding his child in his arms.
But when he got to the counter, he had to put him back in the stroller to put the things he intended to purchase on the counter. This made his child cry, overwhelming OP. Then the lady he met earlier reappeared, and seeing him struggle at the checkout counter, she suggested:
“Maybe next time he should stay at home with mommy, don’t you think?”
OP confessed he was a reserved person and always avoided confrontation, but this lady was asking for it.
