[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had random people on the street tell me loudly “it’s hard being a toddler” when my toddler was melting down. He had epic meltdowns for about 2 years. It always made me feel bad when people said this. I heard them saying “have some sympathy for your struggling kid you crappy mom”. [/quote] You completely misinterpreted what they were saying. They were trying to make you feel better. It wasn’t a criticism of your parenting.[/quote] +1 It is a way of saying, “Hang in there, kids are tough,” while also showing compassion for the kid. It is a way of showing that the situation is totally normal and that no one is doing anything wrong. Normally, it is said to a parent who looks embarrassed or flustered. [/quote]
