[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, all of these responses, this why there is no village and why every woman is on her own.

OP, a paci at 3 for bed is really bad for the teeth and mouth.  She needs to be weaned from it.  Starting now.  [/quote]

So talk to the mother, not the kid. For all they knew, the child could have special needs. Cruel to approach a child with that kind of criticism. [/quote]

Sometimes a stranger speaking directly to a child is effective.  I have been surprised at how receptive my children were to comments or admonishments from strangers.  Sure, it doesn't always work.  But it's not necessarily malicious - as you are saying it is.  [/quote]

My child has been the recipient of this type of remark. She has special needs but it is not obvious to a self-righteous scold who could care less about the why of a situation. It would lead to a meltdown. MYOB when it comes to a child which is not in mortal danger. [/quote]

This.  I will admit to stepping in when an older child is harming or about to harm a younger child and there is no parent in sight, but if no one is in danger I wouldn’t say a word.  Sometimes kids are tall for their age and look older than they are, or have special needs that aren’t obvious.  People are starting to think real life is the internet and that they are free to comment on anything and everything, and that’s just not how it works.  [/quote]
