Today I got filmed and screamed at
I feel so bad tonight. This event triggered so much anxiety.
I was at the store with my 3yo and 1.5 yo to buy a frame for one of my drawings. This drawing is for a friend, and we were supposed to meet at my house. She didn't see the drawing before, it was a surprise.
When i got out of the store, I wanted to put my drawing in the frame so it was ready when i got home and my friend was there. So i put both my kids in the car, then got out and crouched down in the parking to open the frame (it's a floating frame so you have to center the image right in the middle, it took me 2-3 times to get it properly centered).
I want to specify that my body was TOUCHING the car. I was just bent over in the parking space doing this. My kids were silent, looking out the windows and it's a little bit chilly in Canada right now so they were neither hot nor cold in the car. They were litteraly perfectly fine.
When I got up, I told my kids "GOT IT! We're leaving!" And put my framed drawing in the car, a woman was filming me (she could not see me in the beginning, it looked like no one was there with the kids, she was on the other side of the car so it looked like two kids in a car without a parent there) and then I just popped up. She was filming me, screamed "YOU LEFT YOUR KIDS IN THE CAR!!" And filming my kids, me and my car. I said "I was RIGHT HERE! Do you think I just materialised out of thin air!? I was touching the car!" And she just screamed at me, stopped filming and left. The employees of the store came out because someone told them to call the police because of 2 kids alone in a car.
I feel so bad, I can't eat. The idea of a video of me and my kids and my car being seen on tiktok or another social media fills me with dread. I am panicking. If she posts this video, or crops it so we just see the beginning where my kids are "alone" i will be judged so harshly and without context. I just feel so sad. The store employees gave me a hug and told me to calm down, she was just very intense and that the store cameras will back me in case I need it.
Anyway, I just needed to talk about it because my heart is very heavy at the moment. I could also use a little bit of comforting...

Somebody films you and screams with the little ones right there. No respect. Forget about it.
