OTOH, you did shut her up, so why do you care?
On a personal level, it concerns me a teeny bit that you seem to think "fat" is an irredeemable sin, but I think that discussion has been beaten to death on the boards.
ETA and what rp said. Except my tummy hurts, so I think no cheeseburgers for me today.

No. big difference.
Attacking the child is the only proper response. She was attacking yours, and to attack back would have been the best way to wrap the whole situation.
Once at a city-picnic some bilmore-esque mom was telling me how perfect her 4 year old was since she TOOK AWAY HIS TV. My kids were raised by TV, and could hear, so I had to get defensive. Good natured, I told her that kids today need to be able to deal with the quick cutting thought process that you can only get watching hours of videos- she was depriving her son. It was light hearted- to show we all make choices, and her's was just different than most of us.
But bulldog comes back with, "oh no, he's so much more creative and focused on detail since we took him off". So I had to drop the big-one:
"creative and more focused that the average kid means ritalin by the middle of kintergarden. Best dust off that TV"
Bitch,
