I cried at the grocery store (long vent)

SimoneSays22 · January 2011

Yeah... it was awesome.

First of all, DS was fussy all morning. He usually naps in his crib so well and this morning he screamed bloody murder. But I had to go to the grocery store today or we would have no food so I ventured out. I put LO in the Ergo and he actually fussed a little bit, which is very rare. I had been in the store about 5 minutes and some old lady looked at me and said "Aw, aren't his little feet cold?" I just kind of smiled at her and said "He's all right." Just about every time I'm in the store, someone makes a comment about me taking him out in the cold, so I kind of ignore them.

Well I reached down and felt his feet and I realized that his one foot was BARE. I have no idea when/how it happened. But I felt like a horrible mother for not noticing my kid was missing a sock when it's fvcking 30 degrees outside.

I panicked. I went to the baby aisle to see if I could buy socks to put on him and when they didn't have socks, I felt the tears coming. I called DH at work and broke down about how I'm a horrible parent and the poor guy has one bare foot and yadda yadda. My DH, bless his heart, said "It's OK hunny, it probably just fell off. Do you have the diaper bag in the car? Just go get him another pair."

Yeah, that's right, my dumbazz forgot about the diaper bag. So anyway, I ran out to the car, got LO a new pair of socks and finished my shopping.

I feel like a complete goober.

Aww. I'm sorry.

That's why I hate pants that don't have the feet attached. My DD always kicks socks and shoes off. Since it's been super cold, I've actually brought DD out in heavy sleepers a few times. Those are her warmest clothes.

I hate when that happens. I was so upset because I got home from the store the other day to notice that LO had lost one of her shoes. Okay, normally no big deal but this was a pair of shoes that my best friend brought her back from South Korea, so they were one of a kind, handmade shoes. I was so upset. I called the store to see if anyone turned it in and no luck. Sad

This I would be upset about. Losing a sock at the grocery store? Not so much.

Sorry, I'm in a cranky mood.

I would be upset about handmade shoes, too. That sucks and I'm sorry that happened to you!

I wasn't upset about losing a sock. I was upset my kid had cold feet.

Hmmmm. You know what you need....another baby. :-) That will help you get some perspective about what's really important and when you can say oopsies and let go.

HA! No thanks. Not for some time. I agree though. DH sent me a text that it "wasn't a big deal." I know. But it was a bad morning and I think the sock was a "last straw" kind of thing.

That sucks, and I'm pretty sure everyone has days like that. I went to a Baby Cosignment sale a couple of months before DS was born and found the most amazing pair of monkey Roobeez (those shoes that are supposed to be really good) and somewhere between the checkout line and home I lost them. I cried about that

on the bright side, the baby Faded Glory socks are almost impossible to get off

I can completely relate to the "cold" comments. There's always this older woman with judging eyes and comments at whatever store I wander into. I live in Wisconsin. It's cold here about 8 months out of the year. Eventually I have to leave the house. None of the "judgers" ever offer to go grocery shopping for me so some one has to do it!!!

I can see myself crying in the baby aisle on a rough morning. I think we've all been to the point at some time:)

Sometimes it's those little things that just do you in.

Well I've been there!
