It is MY responsibility to make sure I'm not taking her someplace when she is over-tired, cranky, or otherwise behaving like a toddler.
Thank you!
Wherever possible, though, we make sure she doesn't impact other folks -- if she starts melting down in a restaurant, I take her out to the car or outside until it passes.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Conversely, I will say that if we're someplace like the grocery store, and she has a meltdown in the middle of the long checkout line, there's not a damn thing I can do about it if my husband isn't home to watch her for us -- we have to have groceries, people, and I'll get out of here as fast as I'm able.
I understand. Ever wonder if all the kids have secret meetings or something? It's like they KNOW they can get away with the meltdowns in the checkout line! (Why else would so many of them do it?)
