Woman Thrashed Man Who Mom Shamed Her At Costco

Womanhood July, 03, 2025

Parenting bits of advice are common to float in from all the directions. Whenever one step out with one’s children, there are good chances of getting a dose of free advice. But they often end up beaching their limits. One such thing happened with a mother of two named Tracy Bennett who was on a shopping spree with her sons.

The 2-year-old Elliot and seven-month-old Isaac were losing out on their patience. The two little nuggets had been standing in a queue with their mother for the last 15-minutes at Costco. Tracy had to get her membership thing done at the store. So the trio had to take on the task of waiting in the queue. But it seemed like the kids had enough of it. They were getting annoyed as if asking their mother to get them out of that tiresome thing.

Tracy tried her best to get the situation under her control. She picked up books, snacks, patty cakes, etc. When none of them worked with her kids, she began pointing to the things in buggies of the customers to cheer them up. But to her dismay, all of her efforts were getting down the drain. The kids were in no mood to have any more of them. As a result, they started making fuss around. That managed to grab the attention of the customers around them.

To get hold of deteriorating situation, she took out her phone and downloaded the Costco app. Then she texted her husband to get the details of their log in to get her membership card on the phone. While she was managing the things, the kids broke out of the shackles of their patience.

Then a man turned up. He went ahead to bring her attention by saying, “You see the babies?” Then he told her that they fussed like that because they wanted her attention. Not just that but he also went out of his limits and said, “Maybe you should get off your phone and give them your attention.”

His remark gave a boil to her mood. She took on the ‘Breastfeeding Mama Talk’ Facebook group to pour out her anger. She revealed her story and brought out the insensitivity of the man. Then she went ahead to ask people to act sensibly on seeing a mother struggling with her kids around them. According to her, they should look at the other elements of the situation. The mother might have got tired of her maternal life. She might be hungry as she might have given her breakfast to her little nuggets.

Looking at her audacious post, many other parents too came up to share their part of the story. They revealed the situation when people came up to mortify them for not taking care of their children. They supported the reaction of the enraged mother. Others presented the examples of some good souls who measured the graveness of the situation and acted pragmatically.

The post of North Carolina resident has ignited a new chain of parental reactions. Hopefully, the free advisors would mind their limits next time.
