It is pathetic that you are even defending this situation. Are you actually siding with a mother who does nothing about a child who spits at her? I don't let my kids watch bad things on TV, and I'm not about to let my boy see another male do something degrading to a woman and even more a mother. That is part of being a good parent, to keep children away from bad influences. If this is not obvious to you, maybe you need to read another parenting book.

And to the mother who does nothing when she gets spit on, I say have some frickin self respect.

One of my best friends has a little girl who used to spit in her face during tantrums.  First time she ever did it was during a daycare pick up.  She was mortified.  Mortified.  She just bundled the girl into her jacket and left, she was so embarassed.  Judgmental parents who observed probably thought she was a bad parent who did nothing in response.  She ended up coming up with a plan to deal with the behavior, but to her daughter it was like how biting is to some little ones.  The more you respond, the more they do it.  Ask the parents of a biter - sometimes it is really, really hard to stop the behavior. But, with a solid plan for dealing with it, you can.  My friend dealt with it.

I'm just saying a lot of these horrid instances you are observing might just be some of the kids' worst moments.  Imagine your worst public moment with your child.  Some tantrum, aggressive behavior on the playground, or really just any time your kid didn't listen to you.  No matter how you responded or "parented" your child at the moment, you should know that the other parents who observed you were judging you and probably disagreeing with you.
