[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP heres my problem. There was an adult present. Heres the thing you know it would have been crazy to go up to the mom and say hey, your kid is screaming so loud it hurts my ears because duh shes screaming. But you took it upon yourself to address a TODDLER and using exclamation marks indicates you either yelled or said it with strong emphasis as a command. 
How was the mom encouraging it? Was she saying keep screaming? Was she giving her kids a thumbs up? Could she have possibly been laughing because of being nervous or trying to get her kid to mimic her? Could she have been laughing out of frustration like FML? Did you know parents have been instructed to ignore age-appropriate behavior unless someone is getting injured? Would it have been better if she was crying or singing opera? Or is it that children should just be quiet when in public? I am just trying to get an understanding of what your acceptance is for children existing at all since most adults nowadays expect children to be compliant and quiet at all times. He1l, some of you probably complain about kids playing outside too loud. 
You feel comfortable telling a child how to behave but I bet you wouldnt tell an adult who has their conversation or music on speakerphone to turn it down would you? And a village is not just for correction. Yall loveeeeeeee to be the b-tchy corrector, overseer of all Ps & Qs, but are absent when it comes to actual support. THe only support you want to provide is a being a nosy-know-it-all. [/quote]

Thank you[/quote]

It's a toddler. They get corrected by others all the time. It's not the end of the world for them. [/quote]
