Crazy lady...

So, there was this CRAZY lady walking through Kohls today...

She had three strollers, was pushing one, and two kids were pushing the other ones (apparently she took one whole cart just for the kids coats, I HATE when there are no carts left at the door and inconsiderate people are using them for these kinds of things). The kids were knocking over boxes, ripping clothes off the racks, running into each other and other people...just in general being the kind of kids you look at and shake your head. You know, THOSE kids. Crazy ladywas trying to find clothes, hopefully ones that fit her as the crap she was wearing looked like it might fall off with any strong gust of wind. She was totally ignoring the kids, so she really had no right to be pissed when the little girl knocked over a display. But man, did she lace into that poor girl. You know, the get down in the ear and hiss at them type of lacing into. Of course, who knows what that particular girl was doing to crazy lady all day....but is that really an excuse for bad parenting??

So anyway, I saw them again at the shoe department where the oldest kid was drooling over a pair of sneakers. Crazy lady looked at the price tag and launched into a lecture about how there was no way she was spending $60 on a pair of shoes this close to Christmas, if kid wanted them, kid would have to buy them himself. So he says ok, he would. Well, then crazy lady starts on how he needs to spend his money more wisely, he shouldn't be wasting so much money right before Christmas, there are starving families out there don't you know??? So poor kid puts the shoes away. Of course, I have no way of knowing if kids aunt or someone was planning on giving the kid the shoes or money towards them for Christmas or something, but man, is that another excuse for bad parenting???

While walking through the parking lot, I yet again had another encounter with crazy lady. She was trying to get these unruly kids into the car. One was crying because another one took her favorite seat (they looked exactly the same to me), another was screaming in the infant carseat, and yet another was hanging out the other door in the van. Where was poor shoeless kid at this point???? Sitting in the front seat trying to hide his face so no one would recognize him I am sure. Of course, crazy lady was hissing his name from the other side of the car to please get the little escaped kid before he ran away....And we have another excuse for bad parenting.

If you can't control your kids, don't take them out in public....

People are nuts, and on that note, I have to go get crazy ladies kids to bed, they are ripping apart my living room....
