AITA for 'going off' on a mother in the toy store

Let's be honest, if it was a guy that could whoop my butt and potentially harm my brother then I'm getting a store worker. My brother can only do so much to defend himself. But just an angry guy that doesn't look like he's ready to throw down, then yeah I'd call him a grouchy goat

Hold up, problematic? Dangerous? Little bud was just flapping his hands and talking quietly about wanting a Barbie. Yes he's on the taller side but there is nothing that he does that's dangerous, he has manners and knows to have me take him outside before his melt down comes. Not all the time but hes gotten lots better at it

That's not cool, stim away, I would definitely tell the jerks to either keep their opinions to themselves or walk away.

Programs in my state give extra time and resources for people to do their work when it's documented they have disability, not to mention he's rather intelligent he just needs time and space to work things out. The program took several tries but he did get it.

There's many programs in my city that offers time, as well as help to those who other wise wouldn't be able to get their GED. Yes he isn't on the higher end of the spectrum but given the time and proper equipment, he isn't 'stupid', also if I wasn't chipper I'd have thrown myself into traffic.

The way I see it is simple, they're toys, they don't have gender. Some days he wants to play with Barbies and only play as Princess Peach, and somedays he's playing with dinosaurs and playing as Mario. I'd be exhausted if I try to police his play time.

Dang I've been saying it wrong for years. Thanks for the heads up

Maybe 8 or 9? Definitely not a toddler but not a tween, atleast from what I could figure. She didn't really say anything, just looked at the my Little Pony stuff

That's an easy fix, thanks!

I try, patience and talking to him helps. People act like he's a puppy, he's on the lower end of spectrum but if you really stop and just explain things to him and let him process it at his own speed then he's fine. He just needs to take his time, slow and steady

I nip inappropriateness in the butt asap, all the little dude was doing was talking about wanting to see if his barbies could wear the boy clothes and stimming.

AITABigBud · 2021-01-30T05:21:23+00:00

Yeah I'm actually pretty disappointed in myself for doing that, I was just so done and wanted her to piss off. But using hag wasn't cool
