Ignorance is not always bliss

Macie has been AMAZING lately.  She is "talking" up a storm, and just overall doing great.  It would take me a week to blog everything she is excelling at. 
Backing up a bit.  About a week ago I was working and my neighbors came in for some drinks.  They told me their adorable daughter, Veronica was turning two, and they would like us to stop by the party.  I thanked them for the invite and gave a brief explanation on Macie, and it depended on her mood that day.  Veronica's mom said "oh my gosh, don't worry about it, it's a kids party and Macie will be fine.  She can run around and play, have cake, etc.".  We are by no means "sheltering" Macie from social situations, we just have to choose carefully where we take her, and it depends a lot on the kind of day/week she is having.  We decided we were going to go regardless of her mood since we really need to expose her to more situations with children and "strangers". 
I was so excited to go to this party since Macie was having such a good week.  I wanted to see how she would be/react, and I wanted her to run around, play, and have  good time.  We arrived and Macie immediately was running around, laughing, interacting with other kids and adults.  She was quite a ham- she was doing silly things to make people laugh.  Everyone there was really enjoying her, and goofing around with her.  Emma was really in a lot of pain that day- she has four teeth coming in right now, and I can't blame her for being uncomfortable.  She was crying and then Macie had to follow along and start whining.  No big deal right?  WRONG!  There were two people sitting at a table near the girls.  We'll call them WTB (white trash bitch) and CDG (creepy drunk guy).  While the girls were fussing WTB says "I am going to rip my eyes out if they don't stop", and CDG says "hopefully they are going to be going home soon.". 
Now keep in mind, I didn't hear them- Phil did.  He decided to take Emma home, and I stayed there with Macie.  When I got home Phil told me what they said.  He had to stop me from going back over there and saying something.  I was beyond pissed, and I don't think sometimes before I speak.  After I cooled off a bit I then got upset, and a bit sad.  I was sad because this is the EXACT reason that it is sometimes hard for us to go places.  Macie gets anxious in unfamiliar places sometimes.  I don't like to put her in situations that I know will upset her.  She was having a great day, she was just feeding off her sister and trying to get attention from us....she wasn't anxious, upset, etc. 
How dare them!  They are children, and they have no idea what the situation is.  Through all this I have become more understanding, patient, tolerant, sympathetic, etc.  I understand that crying children can be annoying to some, but this was a 2 year old's birthday party for crying out loud. 
After a few days of thinking about this and going through some serious anger, frustration, and sadness I am not going to let it slide.  When I see our neighbors again I am just very politely going to explain that we are "very sorry we had to leave early, but we were made to feel very uncomfortable about our kids being fussy (for about 2 minutes).".  It's perfect because they kept asking me why we were leaving so early. 
Ridiculous, ignorant people. 
Before we left Macie and Veronica were busting a move for a big group of people....it was adorable!  WTB, and CDG were not in attendance for this....maybe they would have found it cute too.....probably not!  Jerks!
