She was overtired from a busy weekend, a little hungry with a sugar crash, coming down with a cold and got a few nos from me in the store. She wasn't even supposed to come with me to the store but I conceded at the last minute when she promised to rest in the car seat on the way to the store, saying she loves being with me. Big mistake. Because she is three I was able to have a good talk with her after and she understood it is wrong to cry so loud in the store. And if it happens again she will just say, I don't want those (wrong Popsicles)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862487 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 05:41:14 +0000 candymum 1862487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha brilliant. Exactly what happened to me today. </p> <p>My 7 month old lost his sh.t in the pharmacy today and I got so flustered between trying to pay for things and answering a call and calming him down. In fairness to him he was vaccinated this morning so was feeling grisly but I really felt that old first time mum feeling I used feel with my first when it happened. I haven't felt like that in over a year. I just know now with the two of them to feed them, change nappies work around naps that it doesn't happen anymore. With my first I used to forget a feed while out being occupied with something or leave the house at the wrong time just when due for a feed and he would have a meltdown. So many first time mistakes :)</p> <p>I got a great dose of humble pie today haha I guess I don't know all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862446 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 22:40:27 +0000 autumnlove 1862446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think last weekend. I took my 16 month old out shopping right before lunch and she was a back arching mess. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862418 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 21:48:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 1862418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last meltdown in a store was at CVS a couple months ago. I wouldn't buy her an eyeshadow palette she wanted (lol, wut toddler?!) so she started crying and demanding a cup of coffee. Lolol she doesn't meltdown in public often, but when she does, she's all dramaz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862381 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 21:03:47 +0000 cascademom 1862381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of hours ago after finishing dinner. DH was paying the bill and finishing his drink. I took LO to the stroller with tons of wailing as people were watching the game. I laughed it off as I got him in the stroller and walked home. He was fine once we got moving. He was tired/overtired, so we knew that a meltdown could happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862293 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 19:31:35 +0000 Arden 1862293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I'd call it a meltdown, but today she laid down on the floor in the store and quietly sobbed "Please a balloon. Please mama, a balloon I need it." But it was quiet and no one else really noticed.</p> <p>P.S. Lest you think I have a poor sad balloon deprived child, she "needs" a five dollar Mylar ballon every single time we go to the store, which just isn't sustainable. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862287 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 19:22:18 +0000 BoogieBea 1862287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't want to answer this because once I do, they'll have a meltdown next time we're out somewhere. It's been a while for us luckily. We just get the repeating "are we done yet?" "Can we go now?" whining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862284 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 19:19:31 +0000 woodentulip 1862284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 year old? Somehow I want to say she has never had a major meltdown in a store, but if that is true it is probably because I avoid taking her shopping more than anything else.<br /> My 4 year old though? Any damn time she sees a Beanie Boo. She wants them all and cannot seem to understand that we aren't going to buy one every time she sees them. Most recently it was at a Carter's store, and I had to carry her out. It was terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-kid-melted-down-in-a-store#post-1862272 Sun, 14 Sep 2014 19:11:13 +0000 mrbee 1862272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about to buy both kids lunch today at a local grocery story and just before I placed my order, I realized that all my cash and credit cards were missing! (Turns out, I had left them at home.)</p> <p>Shortly afterward, my daughter completely melted down in the grocery store (I think she was hangry). I hustled her outside, where she continued her meltdown for about 5 minutes or so. Eventually she calmed down, although she asked me to carry her for a while... always fun with a double stroller.</p> <p>Before today, I had been on a roll when it came to avoiding in-store meltdowns! Got a bit over-confident though, and had a healthy serving of humble pie for lunch today.</p> <p>When was the last time your kid melted down in a store? </p>
