Grrr...

I am so annoyed and just needed to vent a little. I really hate that everytime I go grocery shopping every the little child seat belts on the carts are broken on every single cart! So here I am trying to do my shopping with a toddler, who has just realized that he has a mind of his own, and wants to stand in the cart... and in my efforts to make him sit back down... which he does if I ask him, people walking by feel the need to comment about it? things like why dont you strap him in? or thats what the seat belts are for.. and then I have to politley explain (which I dont feel that I should have to) that all of the straps are broken on every single cart! and the best part is most of the people that I find make comments dont even have kids! so unitl you have been there... please dont judge! ahh.. much better! And now to question dave and I have been talking a lot about lately. In the efforts to raise a respectful and polite and all around good person... when someone out in public is rude, cuts in line, or makes a rude comment... is it better to stand up and say something? or to just not let it bother you and let it go? I really think about these things now.. because I am finding that the way I handle certian situations and choices I make are very diffrent now that before riley, as I want to be a good example. So I was just wondering how other parents handle situations like these.
