Ok, i have some weird incident when i was at Big Lots. I was about to check this product's price since sometimes they don't have the price tags. And then i saw a baby crying and the mother, who was busy paying the things she bought, didn't have the time to give the wailing baby some attention, (u know how a hassle it is to bring everything you buy at the cashier, especially big stuff) Then, all of a sudden, there was this woman ,who confronts the mother, telling her that the baby is more important (because the baby was turning red from all the crying) than what she is paying at the cashier. The mother, in turn, tells this woman that everything's fine, it's normal for her baby to turn red, like "oh, the baby always do this.." you know. Then when the mother exited the store, the woman (or i should say the old lady) suddenly just poured out her disappointment on the mother and she told us that "she (the mother) isn't fit to be a mom...she should take care her baby first or else the social security will arrest her, blah blah blah.." I just mind my own business and i didn't said anything during that whole drama thing, so don't worry. Well, for me, i'm not against any of them, it's just that the old lady should mind her own business and move on, or at least she should have that little respect for the mother and shouldn't said those hurtful things. Because, if i was the mother and i heard some person telling me that i'm not "fit" to be a mother, of course i would be very offended. I guess it's just my instinct. Anyways, i'm sorry guys for the super long story, and i want to hear all of your comments about this. Thank you.

  1. I am a father of 5. 4 boys and a girl.  If someone said anything to me about my parenting I would lose all control of me being professional.  There would be words said that would make Jesus cry.


  2. That crazy old lady crossed the line. The child wasn't being neglected and she doesn't know this young mother's story. The kid might have been sick or tired or just unconsolable! She had no right to tell that poor woman off. She was probably stressed out enough trying to shop with a baby and she didn't need some old bat trying to tell her how to parent her child.
