[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen mothers curse and scream at their toddlers (yes, on public transportation) so many times. The little children just look dazed, confused, or numb. Just a little while ago outside my house I saw a young woman walking alongside a toddler holding his hand, this was an unsteady new walker, definitely under two. She said, loudly, "boy, you so SLOW!!", and not with endearment either. A lot of kids hear mostly profanity and barked orders in the home. [/quote] This. The sad part is when the kids don't look shocked or confused, like they're used to being put down and called foul names. My heart aches for them and what their future holds in terms of self-esteem. Then I remember that I grew up in an abusive (both physical and verbal) household and I turned out very well. Hopefully these kids have at least one positive role model that they can cling to.[/quote]
