I really wanted to go postal on this woman - just a vent!

She was running around on her tip toes and playing airplane (flapping her arms)...see where I'm going ...when this random woman tells me that I ought to have her tested for autism. WTH?!?! I told her that she was just playing but thanks for the tip. Then she procedes to tell me that denial will only delay things and that the sooner we seek treatment the sooner she can overcome some of her obstacles. She would not drop the subject. I was ready to go off on this woman. Thankfully, it was soon our time for pictures and I could get away.
Do I have a sign on my forehead that reads "Freaks, please talk to me?"

Insanemomof3 replied: How does playing =autism???? WTH???? I would have been mad and told her where to stuff her unwanted advice.

ammommy replied: It was the walking on tiptoes and flapping her arms. ***sigh***I am a kook magnet these days.

luvbug00 replied: WTH I would've decked her!! ( I have no self control for people like that)

mckayleesmom replied: I would have turned to her and said " I will seek help for my child if you seek help for your problem with butting into peoples lives that you don't know....you need therapy in tact".

PrairieMom replied: How rude! I would have said something not so nice to her. Why don't people understand to keep advice to themselves unless its asked for?

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Wow - a kid with lots of energy playing... yep better get that checked out.

Some people are so dumb.

ediep replied: How rude!!! I can't stand when people butt in with advice when it isn't ask for!!

redchief replied:
Hmm... yup, there it is right under that mean cowlick... see it?

One of my favorite answers to such nibbie nosed "help dealers" is, "Thank you doctor! I've so been wondering what to do! Is there anything else you can help me with?" This is to be delivered with tongue firmly in cheek and a wild eyed look. Watch them run! (If you saw the Incredibles DVD and watched "Jack-jack Attack," the look on the babysitter is just about right.

My2Beauties replied: She would of heard a mouthful from me! I have no tolerance for idiots like that!

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I would have told her to mind her buisness!!!

ammommy replied:
I'll have to remember that one!

moped replied: OMG you are way nicer than I would have been - I would have told her to keep her thoughts and advice about my children to herself and a few other choice words!!!!!!
