[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be honest and sound crazy but if you mess with my kid- especially in that pseudo condescending Karen way you did- I would consider clocking you. I wouldn’t do it, but it evokes an extremely strong response in many women. You were wrong. [/quote]
Hitting a stranger because you're a sh*t parent is bizarre. [/quote]

I didn’t say I’d hit her. I said I’d want to. Very different things. Op doesn’t know what’s going on with that mom or child. She should mind her own business. You do not mess with someone’s child [/quote]

So who cares what you imagined you would do in your small mind if you weren't such a coward? If you're this scared of people then teach your children how to behave in public then you don't have to imagine doing anything.[/quote]

No one is scared of anything. I’m merely explaining how strong maternal instinct is. It is not rational and it knows almost no bounds. This is why women have been found to suddenly have the strength to lift cars off their children to save them. You don’t have to like it, but I’m trying to make you understand that the instinct to protect one’s own child is incredibly primitive and instinctive. Obviously when rational thought comes through, I wouldn’t clock op. But there would be a millisecond that my amygdala would want to rush to defend my child.

You wouldn’t be defending your kid, you’d be flipping your shit in defense of your ego and poor parenting.

I’ve never done what OP did, but it’s fine by me. Most kids, including mine, are good in public, even with SNs, like mine, because of how we parent. When people step in, you’ve fd up and you know it.

Enjoy the weekend, OP![/quote]

Plus a million. [/quote]
