The thing is some people are jerks and think that they are superior in every way even as mothers so they dont bother to have any empathy.

I get stares, comments, dirty looks quite often. You'd think that as a mom they're understand where I'm coming from. Sometimes kids just have to make noise, not in inappropriate settings, but they do make noise. Far too many times I've had to restrain myself from hurting someone! ;)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034271381748240025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668809191848300418.post-47231182021223168962011-06-21T13:57:13.485-04:002011-06-21T13:57:13.485-04:00I don't understand why mother's don't ...I don't understand why mother's don't support each other more! It's amazing. I'm not even a mom and I realize that sometimes you just have to let kids screams. Now if you are in the middle of a play, or movie, or graduation, ok fair enough. Take the kid outside. But grocery shopping? Sorry kiddo, you can scream all you want but you are not getting the choc on choc on choc "cereal."<br /><br />@Beth: I'm still naive enough to think I won't have to bribe my kid TOO much ... but even I am not naive enough to think it would never happen!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118889391922823540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668809191848300418.post-69719804341349563612011-06-21T08:28:06.954-04:002011-06-21T08:28:06.954-04:00I have to say I'd LOVE it if there were some k...I have to say I'd LOVE it if there were some kind of Mommy Code where we all supported each other 100% of the time... but there's not. I find that people with kids in elementary school are the most likely to sympathize instead of criticize, but even then you'll sometimes get disproving looks instead of "we've all been there"<br /><br />I also have to admit that I now completely understand all the mothers I used to roll my eyes at. I'd be in the grocery store watching Mom's bribe their children or letting their children scream in the middle of the aisle while they shopped and I would roll my eyes and say "I'll never have a kid that behaves like that" Guess what? I do. It takes having a toddler to realize that the easiest way to avoid a tantrum is a bribe... and that 99% of the time the fastest way to end a tantrum is to just let them scream and act like you don't know it's happening.Beth @ Me as a Mommyhttp://measamommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668809191848300418.post-14475789972482148382011-06-21T01:38:24.789-04:002011-06-21T01:38:24.789-04:00Some people just have no patience.

Once people are out of the toddler stage, they seem to forget that they ever went through it. <br /><br />It's a vicious cycle that starts before people have kids ("I'd NEVER let my kids act like that") and continues as people's kids age ("My kid NEVER acted like that.")<br /><br />As to why it happens...who knows? Some competitive spirit that makes everyone believe they will be/were the best mother on the face of the earth? <br /><br />All I know is I wish it wasn't that way. And I *hope* I don't turn into that woman.The Spaghetti Westernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08834972468912868236noreply@blogger.com
