When a Costco Employee Called Me Out for Letting My Daughter Sample a Protein Shake

Today at Costco, I had one of those parenting moments that catch you off guard. My daughter was curious about the protein shake sample, so I let her have a tiny sip. Next thing I know, a Costco employee gave me the side-eye and let me know that kids aren’t supposed to try those samples. I felt a mix of embarrassment and surprise—was I being careless, or just a mom letting her kid explore new things? Parenting is full of these little learning moments, and sometimes, we get scrolled by strangers just trying to do their jobs. Have you ever been called out in public for your parenting choices? I’d love to hear your stories and how you handled it! #ParentingRealTalk #FamilyMoments #LearningTogether #Parenting
