She's not a very good mom.
I am always confused when I hear people say, "She's not a very good mom." Obviously women who beat or otherwise abuse their children aren't very good mothers, but for the most part most of us are just trying to keep our heads above water. I am extra confused when people who aren't moms, espically men, make that comment. I mean I wouldn't go to your office and after watching you foul up in a meeting say, "He's not a very good provider." It takes a long time to make a judgement call like that. Besides can't some of the time we just be good moms, why do we always have to be very good moms? Let's be honest if you could judge peoples ability after one encounter how many mechanics, er doctors or DMV workers would still be around? So Sir, next time you want to judge me after standing in the checkout line behind me at Target, be careful . Not everytime will my baby scream until he spits up all over me nor will my children run in circles with those stupid-light-up-Little-Einstein-candy-toy-things and I promise not to drop the egg carton out of the cart every time while I try helplessly to control an out of control situation. But next time if you must, please try to mutter your judgements a little quieter under your breath, so I will not be forced to "accidently "run over your foot with my grocery cart.

go lisa i hope that you broke his toe.
I used to be one of those lame people who thought "my child will never do that". Then I had a child...now I think moms are superheros!
I love this post! I'm sorry for the shopping trip you had and know I've had numerous experiences like that. I hope that man's foot is still sore, and I hope that your cart was very full and heavy despite the dropped eggs!
I would have ran over his foot and then kicked him where it counts. You are a lot nicer than I am.
Amen, and I haven't even met the man and I am pretty sure he is not a very good human being. I hate when people judge others. Instead offer a helping hand. I wonder sometimes what people think of my abilities. I am sure that has been whispered a time or two while in view of me and my crazy 4. All I can say is you are a FANTASTIC mom even on your worst day.
At first I thought "good thing he wasn't behind us in line when Ava peed her pants..." and then I realized that I was there and I definitely would have said something to man who doesn't think you are a very good mom! I think you are an amazing mother...let's face it, Macey wants to be a Barkdull even when all the Barkdull's are getting spanked! If that doesn't scream good mom, I don't know what does :)
That is awesome. Way to go. I would run over him too.
