Anyone ever hear someone sharing bad parenting advice to someone else and want to interject? I'm listening to a lady tell another lady, who asked about potty training, to let them stay in the poopy diaper, even when the child asks to be changed, and tell them about how if they pooped in the toilet they wouldn't have a dirty diaper..hmmm

Do you know how many times I am :this: close to saying something on this? Hey look at me, so you think I want to have my husband come grocery shopping with me bc we need 2 carts or do you think I want to get 10 things bc nothing else will fit in the cart?
I hate the grovery cart thing. It seems everyone does it too where I live.
I'm with you two on the grocery cart thing.
Most of the time, I bite my tongue too, unless someone is actually talking to me about it. There are some things I'm not comfortable with, but it's nothing I'd lable abuse or neglect.
TBH, OP, I might say something about letting kids sit in their dirty underwear as a lesson (if I knew the people) because shaming kids because they had accidents can be really psychologically damaging. If they were strangers I might just give them a look and shake my head later.
That I can understand. It's like my mom, who wasn't much of a spanker, once spanked my sister for having an accident on the floor--she had done it on purpose because of the new baby (me).
