[quote=Anonymous]Inappropriate/WAAAAAY out of line. What was your goal?

Someone was having a rotten day. Instead of being kind and telling her 'don't worry, we have all been there' or 'hard to believe it, but you do miss even the bad days with kids' you chose to make her day worse.

At a port of call on a Mexican cruise a couple months ago, a frustrated mother was trying to get her two overtired cranky toddlers back through the open market shopping area to the cruise security line before the sailing. Every human in the vicinity, all our teen/tween kids overhead the mother yell "you are the biggest dick in all of Mexico!!!!" to one toddler.

I know she really was just feeling embarrassed and feeling a need to tell the adults around 'hey, I know this kid is being a brat- sorry'. It was 5% funny (like if it was a movie, not real life) But it was just SO MEAN. My kids have been quoting her for weeks w sad faces... they felt so badly for the kids. I wanted them to know it's normal and ok to feel overwhelmed w kids but to choose a better option.

Anyway I asked if she was on xxxx cruise line and she was on the same one as us. I told her we were going in the same direction. Could my kids take some of her bags and I'd carry the toddler. She was like 'YUP'.

The toddler was so so shocked but entertained by my kids that he shut up and off we went. If she'd told me to go F myself I'd have kept walking but sometimes people just need to not feel judged and to get a little help. [/quote]
