Very rude ferral toddler in the supermarket yesterday

BitterAndTwisted

"A year-old child, strapped into her chair just screamed out loud every few minutes?"

And this makes her "feral" how, precisely, rather than just a small child?

You should have been with me yesterday on the bus, at least three little ones either grizzling or having temper issues, one after the other. Being given a headache didn't prompt me to call anyone feral. They were just kids.

Shall we ask Tod´s mum what he was like as a child?

toddy likes to frequent the Arms where he delights us all with tales of heroic rescues in his lifeboats and what his llamas have been up to.

He's clearly feeling a little bored so he's popped over to the family thread to have a bit of fun. He knows that calling a little child feral is bound to irritate a few people. Don't rise to it - I doubt he even went to the supermarket yesterday.

Small children scream in supermarkets. It's a given.

I strongly suspect there's a hidden machine at the supermarket entrance which pokes them with a sharp stick.

I read somewhere that the reason small children scream in supermarkets is because the acoustics of the space make their voices sound completely different to normal and it interests/fascinates them!

If the baby in the OP was making the same sound repeatedly she was probably testing the diferent noise she could produce.

I would've thought they had it delivered by Ocado.

Serves him right for trying the downsize challenge.

Now stay OUT of LIDL OP, and leave the savings for those of use who are living on the edge, please.

Oh I think you are so right, just attention seeking, best ignored.

Maybe about 12 months old, strapped into her chair. Just screamed out loud every few minutes. I found it impossible to get anything done, and ended up leaving without my wife.

do you usually have that effect on small children ?

No, I should never be on a bus, not whilst there are taxis anyway.
