Fellow Mom to the Rescue
If your child has ever had a public tantrum, you likely understand the humiliation and frustration it can cause. Now imagine two young children having tantrums at the same time. Thankfully for Rebecca Paterson of Texas, whose two young children chose the exact same time to have a meltdown at a Pearland Target in March, a fellow mother came to her aid.
Paterson was doing her usual shopping when her two-month-old child and two-year-old began to cry and make scenes. She said that she was prepared to immediately leave the store and spare her fellow shoppers from the chaos. Paterson had planned to abandon her shopping trip, the Houston Chronicle reported, and even began putting the items back on their shelves when another shopper named Tiffany Jones-Guillory approached her and offered to help.
Jones-Guillory offered to hold the two-year-old and walk him up and down the aisles alongside Paterson to distract him from whatever sparked the outburst. Paterson gratefully accepted and used the opportunity to calm her infant.
