My 3 year old knows the rules, and like all 3 year olds, tests my patience from time to time, but when she explodes in public it's like 20 times worse!!! I was at target yesterday afternoon, and absolutely HAD to get groceries. My daughter was tired, so she pitched a horrible fit. I took her to the bathroom for a time out. She was screaming and yellling at the top of her lungs. The door knob jiggled, then a lady said, "Oh my god it's locked!" she then started beating on the door yelling at the top of her lungs, "I WILL CALL DHS, I WILL CALL DHS!!" I opened the door while my daughter was still sitting in time out and told her I wasn't even touching my child! I told her that I don't even spank!! Why can't I even put my child in time out in the bathroom anymore??! I was fuming mad at this point. My daughter very quickly calmed down and we continued our shopping. Does everybody really think that if a kid is crying in the bathroom, that you're beating them????
