i am training to be a teacher, for which I dont get paid very much so at the weekend i work in a shoe shop, mainly fitting babies and childrens shoes. yesterday me and some of the other girls (who are mostly 16 ish) were talking about some of our worst customers we have served. one of the girls had an experience beyond belief. I can fully appreciate that sometimes people take their children out and the get sick when they are out, sometimes with no prewarning (have just read your post stella9 about your son having d* whenyou wereout - must be horrible when something like that happens - i hope he is feeling better and you are doing ok). Anyhow, my friend was telling about a mother who said to my friend, while she was close to this child being breathed all over, she is a little cranky she has a stomach bug. Not even she is getting over a stomach bug, but she actually has one. The little girl then proceeded to have d* which leaked out of her nappy (sorry tmi).


I cannot believe that someone could be that irresponsible as to take a young child out when they are suffering like that. Luckily this incident was months ago (i didnt know it had happened) so i suffered no anxiety talking about it. God knows what would have happened had i been there at the time, or worst still been the one serving her.
