Judge THIS, Biotch!!!

My 2 year old daughter has a temper that qualifies her for Heathen of the Year. I thought my son was "a lot", but my daughter takes the cake and is causing me to age 50 years every 30 minutes. Hardcore child. So, when she has a tantrum it is loud enough to break windows and create a sonic boom effect. I don't like it...who would? I also do everything every book and family member has told me to do to ameliorate the situation...to no avail. This girl is loud and determined and that's that.

My best bet when this child of mine melts down in public is to remove her from the situation. This morning I was at the local kid friendly coffee shop with both kids when my daughter decided that the communal Elmo toy was hers and started grabbing it out of a snot laden little boys hands. He, in turn, pushed her away and as my daughter made her 2nd attempt to nab the toy I walked over to her and calmly explained that she needs to wait her turn and share. But, by God, she is TWO YEARS OLD and not so much in the way of being logical.

When she wants Elmo, she wants him NOW. Period. At that point she lets out one of her nefariously loud screams that make anyone within a 10 mile radius suffer from partial hearing loss. I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. I lost count of her screams as I walked back to the table to grab my bag and coats and leave my full cup of coffee (tears). The entire pack of mothers in that joint either stared with daggers in their eyes and several had the balls to make comments like "I'm so glad my kids don't do that" and "What a spoiled kid". One mother even looked me up and down in disgust as I was exiting the building.

I mean, seriously? I can understand the childless citizens of this earth reacting that way when confronted with a banshee toddler, but for other mothers to be so damned judgemental and bitchy amazes me. Do they really all have perfect kids? I find that hard to believe. I may have one that is a lot more difficult than most, but does that make it so I have to stay at home with her all the time in order to not offend the sensibilities of other breeders?

I say all judgemental biotch mothers need to be segregated to a far away island where they can revel in breastfeeding their kids until they are 12 and chatter amongst themselves about how they love their stretchmarks. I am over this cliquish mommy crap.
