[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do nothing. People have different situations in life and honestly it’s none of your business.

I once saw a mom acting similarly to her kid. When they stopped near where I was sitting I complimented the kid’s shoes. I complimented the mom on the kid. She sat next to me and started talking. She had just gotten out of the hospital and had no family support. She was doing her best but she was overwhelmed. The poor kid and poor mom. That’s where my mind goes.[/quote]

I don’t see what being in the hospital has anything to do with telling your toddler you are “going to beat their stupid a**”[/quote]

DP, but you don’t understand how being incredibly stressed can lead parents to lose their shit with their kids?  Really?

There’s not much you can do in these cases, other than to offer some empathy as the PP did.  It’s hard.[/quote]

Plenty of people are unbelievably stressed and manage not to speak speak to others that way.  [/quote]
