[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Running off to work and as I’m locking my door I see a mom and kid (4-6 yrs old) in the hallway of my condo building; it’s one of those tall apartment towers with mostly grad students and young professionals though there are some families - maybe 5-10% of the tenants. She was clearly there for a play date or something, couldn’t find the friends apartment and was calling them but no response. So as I’m running out the door she goes — does the Jones family live down at the end of this hall? My response — no idea, don’t know who lives there. She then goes — well I’d expect you’d know your neighbors. My response - well I don’t - as I go past her and her kid. She then starts commenting on modeling politeness in front of a young child, as I rolled my eyes and left.

[b]Do you now expect all adults to be polite and helpful bc CHILD?? [/b]Or was this woman being ridiculous? I mean I easily could’ve said eff off at any point in this conversation. How would she have explained that to her sweetie?[/quote]

Yes, all adults should be polite and, if possible, helpful, whether there are children present or not. [/quote]
