Why do some people stay on your mind after coming across them for about 10 seconds? Chap in supermarket this morning with two little children aged around 4 and 7. He was pulling one of those baskets on wheels behind him and hit it against the side of one of the freezers, I was right behind him and saw him do it. He thought the older little girl had kicked it and turned and screamed at her to watch where she was bl- - -y walking. Her eyes filled with tears and she said that she was walking properly and he just went on shouting at her. Don't know them at all but can't stop thinking about that little girl and how she must get shouted and sworn at quite a lot. :-((
AuntLydia Believe me if you confront the parents the child will get it back home. They will have 'shown the parent up' it will be their fault and they will get a beating. These parents are very astute at passive aggressive behaviour.
No I said 'parent' not parents. Still not sure what the link to an archive post had to do with a parent abusing their child in public. Perhaps you could explain?
