[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Based on the lack of responses from those 50+ and the overwhelming responses from younger mothers, the resounding advice is to MYOB when it comes to their children even in dangerous situations. Next time I'll just walk by. [/quote] I'm 50+ and would guess it was the way you said it, not what you said. As others have suggested, I would have said to the child "Hey, bud, careful there" and then smiled at the mom and said, "Oy, I had an acrobat just like this little guy." That approach usually works for me, probably because the subtext is "I've been there, sister", rather than "You're not watching your kid." [/quote] 51 here. That’s a great way to handle it. Or maybe I’ll say something like- “That brings back memories!” I don’t know. It would have to be a dangerous situation like the OP mentioned. It is hard to be a mom of young kids. I’m sure I was plenty defensive and don’t even remember it. [/quote]
