38 year old mom from Pennsylvania

My husband and I took our children, au pair, mother-in-law and niece to NYC to celebrate the holidays. On the way to the M&M store my 8 yo son started having severe stomach pains after eating lunch (not a new problem but has been worsening). We enter the M&M store and they tell us they have public restrooms up on the 3rd floor. The escalator to the 3rd floor is out of service so we walk up and we get in line for the bathroom.


Apparently the manager declares too many people are using the bathroom and not buying merchandise so they close the bathrooms for the ENTIRE store despite having at least 15 people in line. By this point my son is hysterically crying that he’s either going to vomit or have an accident - definitely some component of IBS but the more upset he gets the more he’s crying he’s going to get sick. Escalators are out and I can’t even get back down 3 stories to find a new bathroom in a new store.



Finally they let us in (after they nearly called the police on my MIL for her begging us to use the restroom) and then proceed to yell at my son to hurry up and threaten to call 911/an ambulance while he’s in the bathroom. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve had had and was heart breaking seeing my anxiety-ridden kid treated this way.  We live an hour from NYC and needless to say we won’t be back anytime soon.

I love how you share your experiences as a mom navigating life’s ups and downs! It reminds me of five nights at freddy's—both are about facing fears and unexpected challenges. Just like in the game, parenting has its own jump scares, right? Thanks for this relatable post!

Extracting clean backgrounds from photos is tricky, especially around fine edges. I have been experimenting with turning two stills into a short animated clip, and starting with a simple hotel lobby scene made background removal much easier to judge. Worth testing your extraction results in motion.

That sounds like such a heartbreaking and stressful experience. No child should be treated that way when they’re already scared and level devil unwell.

The p999 game login section caught my attention because account security is relevant to almost every online service. Keeping credentials private, using the correct website, and avoiding suspicious login pages are practical habits worth remembering.
