[quote=Anonymous]Sadly there’s nothing you can do. However, I once saw a woman do something similar to her kids and about 15 minutes later I saw her on the floor in tears talking to someone on her phone who I assume was her husband. She was begging him to come home. And I realized she wasn’t just a shitty mom, she was probably struggling with depression or pain or SOMETHING. And it made me realize that I could have, when I first saw her losing it with her kids, said something sympathetic like, “we’ve all been there! Would you like any help? I can play with them while you take a few minutes to chill on your phone” or something similar. [/quote]
