It’s usually easy to tell whether an out-of-control kid has problems or if the parents just don’t care. I saw the former the other day at the grocery store. A boy that had to be about 8 or 9 who was leaping around yelling very loudly like my 19-month old does. His dad was trying desperately to keep him under control, but it was a real battle. My heart goes out to folks like that. It can’t be easy for a single second.

In this particular case, none of us was there, so radical assumptions about the kid being a brat who needs a spanking or disinterested/uninvolved parents is just stupid.

Lol, I bet you’re up at night with a 19 month old:) I just think people need to cut parents some slack in public concering children. You just never know what the situation is. Sometimes if a little one is crying in line I make a funny face & they often shut up.....and sometimes they cry worse. It’s life.
