Am I Wrong? Or Am I just 9 months along?
Our local newspaper had an article recently about door to door solicitors who assaulted a woman in her home while there displayng products. So, I thought about putting up a sign to turn them away, but I forgot. This morning a woman in her twenties came to my door with an European accent trying to sell "Educational Products". I said "No thank you." as my girl walked up to me at the door to see who was there. Then the woman took out a colorful book and held it out to my girl and said,"Well, let me show you..." and that's when I got mad. My daughter was reaching out for the book and I was holding her hand and pulling her back inside the house as she started to whine for the book. So I said to the solicitor, "That was innappropriate. I already said no and you used my daughter to manipulate me. That was innappropriate." Then the solicitor asked if I could help her with her map to discern who she could sell to in our neighborhood.
My repsonse was, "NO. I will not help you sell to my neighbors. Leave." and I shut the door and locked it.
I thought it was wrong to use my child to try to sell me something. That is what I was mad about.
Am I a lunatic? I don't think so. By the time I closed the door my daughter was in a full cry for that stupid book.
What do you think?
