She Brought Her Toddler Daughter To Disney And Got Accused Of Ruining The Day For Other People Due To Her Daughter’s Behavior
When this 25-year-old woman welcomed her 3-year-old daughter into the world, she learned that her baby girl had been born with brain damage.
So, her daughter cannot talk and also has difficulty understanding many things. This means that her toddler’s main form of communication is crying or screaming. And when her little girl is happy, she will also make loud noises.
“I want to make this very clear: no amount of discipline or teaching her will ever help this,” she said.
In spite of all these challenges, her daughter has also become enthralled with everything Disney. That’s why this year, she finally decided to bring her toddler to the famous theme park.
Before their visit, she reportedly tried her best to prepare for everything. She planned out what rides they would go on during less busy times. She also brought activities and toys in hopes of distracting her daughter during the long wait times.
But, with children, things just happen. And she noticed some people being rude to her and her daughter throughout their day.
For instance, there was one group of teenage girls who pointed and laughed. Then, they even took photos of her daughter while the little girl was just trying to eat lunch.
Other parkgoers also rolled their eyes and made snide remarks while her daughter tried to carry each Disney plush toy she saw.
Although, her final straw was not until they were waiting in line for the Toy Story Alien ride. While they were waiting, her daughter was able to see the actual ride from where they were standing. So, naturally, the 3-year-old began to get a bit antsy. She recognized that, too, and tried her best to distract her daughter.

“But I was failing. She couldn’t wait any longer,” she recalled.
Whenever the line stopped moving, her daughter began to scream out of frustration. She then tried to pick up the toddler during these instances, but apparently, that only made everything worse.
In fact, her daughter just started thrashing around and screaming louder. So, at that point, she noticed other people staring and muttering comments under their breath.
They were saying things like, “She needs to control her kid,” and, “That’s just ridiculous. Why bring your kid if they act like that?”
The final remark that seriously pushed her over the edge, though, was when another parkgoer claimed, “A swift spanking will fix that.”
By that point, she had had enough and snapped– telling everyone that her daughter had brain damage and could not help it. Afterward, she also became so upset that she and her daughter wound up leaving the park.
And while heading home, she honestly believed everyone else was in the wrong for not understanding her daughter’s behavior. But, ever since talking to a friend, she has started to question her judgment.
“They said her screaming is unpleasant, and it possibly ruined people’s day,” she revealed.
So now, she has been left wondering whether bringing her daughter to Disney and possibly “ruining” other parkgoers’ trips was the wrong thing to do.
Wasn’t she just trying to bring her daughter some joy by taking her to Disney? Should she feel guilty about that? Or should she just do what is best for her and her daughter? How would you have responded to the rude remarks if you had been in her shoes?
