Mother of the year and her brat. (Long,with language)

[iloveasunflower13]

ugh. what a week. sucky supervisor is getting worse, called me a bitch. had no witnesses, so...according to the guy from corporate i can't do much about it.

on to the story.
Le players.
me
MOY(mother of the year)
HC(her horrid child)
NC( nice child, little brother of the brat child)

I ACTUALLY WAS ALLOWED TO RUN A REGISTER. that almost never happens. usually i love it. NOT THIS TIME. oy. This lady came to the register with school clothes for back to school sale. she had a little girl around the age of 8, and an boy who was about 5. the mom never really spoke to me, because she was so busy screaming at the 8 yr old. "OMG {insert name} COME HERE DAMMIT! STOPITSTOPIT. COMHERE.OMGWOULDYOUSHUTUPANDSTOPTOUCHINGTHAT COME HERE COME HERE" the WHOLE TIME.
i start ringing the lady up, she has a ton of girls outfits, and one pair of boys jeans. she says to the girl. "OMG stop WHINING. look,your brother has A PAIR OF JEANS. all the rest is for you! the least you could do is behave!."
HC" MOOOOM I"M A GIRL! DUUUUUH! I HAVE TO HAVE MORE STUFF THAN HIM! besides he's stupid."
MOY" dad only gave me 200 dollars. if it goes over stuff has to be put back.
HC" YEAH! the jeans. YOU DON"T TOUCH MY SHIT."

now, the whole time, the lil boy was sitting very quietly, behaving, not fussing, not whining, i was finding it hard to believe he was related to the 8 year old.

the girl had a set of bracelets and a set of photo albums that she decided to explain to me were for her friend who was moving. she wanted them rung up separately. ok. fine.
i finished her moms order, which went over the 200 dollars, so the mom coughed up the rest on a card. Just as I was about to ring up the little girls items, she says to me. (and i'm not making this up.) "My daddy gave me TWENTY DOLLARS! so i'm RICH. now ring me up BITCH." cue me WTF now, admittedly, customers can suck, but this was an 8 year old girl. I prob shouldn't have, but i leaned over and smiled really big at her and said " And my Manager gives me the right to refuse service to anyone who verbally abuses me. and i don't like being called "Bitch". I cancelled her purchase.
HC:" MOOOOM! WHAT THE FUUUUCK!! MAKE HER RING ME UUUPPPPP!!!!" the mom responded thusly. ''OMG {insert childs name} why can't you keep your fucking mouth SHUT." the mom did have the decency to say to me "look, i'm sorry. she has a mouth on her."
no kidding. wonder where she got it?
so i rang the purchase up for the mom.
my co worker was standing there the whole time with his mouth open. after this family left i turned to him and said "charming child huh?"
CW was still dumbfounded.

In better news, I HAD A JOB INTERVIEW FOR A VERY SWANKY JEWELRY STORE!!! and it was promising. the manager liked me. everyone keep your fingers crossed for me please?

If my daughter (either one) had behaved like that in public, every item of clothing would be handed to the clerk with a polite "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, these will need to be replaced on the racks. I'm afraid she isn't getting any new school clothes after all." We would then be off to home. Strangely enough, I got told so many times what nice helpful, courteous considerate girls I had. And I always looked over at them in puzzlement. Esp the youngest. I have to admit to being grateful she saved her nastiness for in home, and was an angel to her friends parents apparently. lol

That kid was some piece of work. You're right though, following mommy's egg-donor's sterling example.
Good luck with the bauble shop. You deserve better than that crap.

[firecat88]

Good grief. O.o I'm *25* and I'm pretty sure my mom would still ground me for...ever if I screamed at her and everyone else like that.

[MoonCat]

I know it's a cliche, but honestly...If I had used language like that in front my parents *shudder*...

In my old neighborhood, we lived next door to these....people...well, they had one kid who thought nothing of saying f**k you to his mother...who rarely bothered to correct him. I do recall her mentioning to someone that she was going to parenting classes....guess they didn't take.

[tropicsgoddess]

It's no surprise where she got that dirty mouth from but the brother on the other hand, I wonder how he came out differently from the egg donor and the mini-egg donor. I applaud you for putting that little brat in her place for calling you a bitch. Wishing you good luck on the interview!

[BrenDAnn]

I've said it before and I'll say it again-- my face would've met with the back of my mother's hand had I EVER behaved like that in public, especially at that young an age. I remember the first time I cussed at home (accidentally) and I the look I got then could've killed! How or why can ANYONE let their child behave like that? Also, I think the boy HAD to be adopted. It's the only explanation! Seriously!

[blas]

It could very well be a case of favoritism. Nearly every parent is guilty to a mild or normal extent of doing it, it's just that the cases of sucky parents we see are VERY guilty beyond reason of doing it.

[ShadowBall]

I learned how to curse when I was in fifth grade and I did it a lot at school. Then when the teachers called my mother and told her about it, she screamed at me that I can't swear and she doesn't know where I learned to talk that way. Meanwhile, she'd say things regularly to me like, "You gimme that goddamn (thing) and pay attention to (homework) before I knock you on yer fuckin' ass!"

Yeah, I wonder where I got it from.

Good for you for putting the little brat in her place - obviously her mother couldn't be arsed to do it. Also glad her mother did something right by not yelling at you for scolding her pweshus widdle snowflake.

[blas]

Haha, same here, ShadowBall.

My mom still to this day scolds me for swearing, yet can't control her own mouth half of the time.

[downforit2008]

After a day like that, I hope you really get the new job!

What a disgraceful little brat that girl was! Sadly, she'll grow up to be another sucky customer for us to gripe about another 15 years in the future. I wonder how the little boy tolerates such abuse from her at home!

[georgie]

fingers crossed for you for the new job


so let me get this straight, because the supervisor called you a bitch without witnesses around no one can do anything about it?

does that work both ways? if it does i think you should take every opportunity open to you to call her ugly, stupid etc etc

:-)

I agree, gotta give credit where credit's due! A step up's better than nothing.

The poor little boy. I bet you anything the highlight of his day is when his sister goes to school.

[bainsidhe]

Makes me wonder if the little boy just wasn't feeling well or if he just hasn't grown into his own suckiness yet. Also makes me wonder if it's a he vs. she thing in their household where the males and pushed around and females reign on high. I've seen it in some families and I feel for the poor boy.

[XCashier]

the girl had a set of bracelets and a set of photo albums that she decided to explain to me were for her friend who was moving.

Yeah, the friend is probably moving to get away from that nasty, foul-mouthed little brat. Who raises their child to behave like that? You know it's going to come back and bite Mommie Dearest in the butt when her mouthy little Veruca Salt grows up to be an über-nasty teenage harpy, physically abusive as well as verbally abusive.

Good luck with the new job!
