vent: outraged at other parents

in December 2011 Moms

i was running some errands at christmas tree shop & witnessed something so disturbing. i wanted to say something to the guy but i didn't b/c he seemed so angry, i was actually scared he might hurt me. 

it was a father, mother, son (about 7-8) and daughter (about 10-12)

the father was yelling at the little boy about giving away one of his toys to his friend or cousin. he was saying "well, i bought you a toy & you gave it to joshua. that's some real f*g sh*t, are you gay, are you a f*g. i buy you a toy & u give away to another boy, are you a f*g). the little boy just wasn't saying anything but you could see the hurt & sadness in his eyes. the mother did NOTHING & the little girl was just tuning it out listening to her headphones.

it makes me so upset that parents are still raising their kids with such hurt & hatred in their heart. i wish i would've said something but i think if i did the guy would've caused a scene & cursed me out in front of my own 6 month old & i didn't want to risk that or scare her.

    What?! What an ass.
    And what kind of an insult is that? Maybe he's in the closet and is scared about it?

    That is horrible!!!! That makes me so sad. I wonder what you could have done without endangering you or your child.

    This made me cry.  How can any parent speak to their child this way?  A little boy trying to be kind and share and he's berated for it.  His dad (and mom by her own ignorance/negligence) are failing that child.  Can you imagine what he goes through at home if this is what his dad does in public?  So sad.

    Yesterday I was outside on our patio and I couldn't help but overhear a mom in the apartment behind ours; cussing and smacking her younger kids and screaming at them for crying, then smacking them again and repeating the same crap. Some people shouldn't have kids. I understand the pressures of being a single parent( was one for 10 years) or being in a bad relationship (left him 12 years ago), but it's no excuse for not having simple kindness and love to extend towards your children, no matter your circumstances! I understand your feelings of helplessness; it's so upsetting, but at the same time, we need to think of ours and our LO's safety in these circumstances. Hugs to you and I'll say an extra prayer for that little boy and his family.

    This thread is terrible, understandable how people want to stay out. In your circumstance though this is your neighbor did you call child services? If that's what you hear, what horrible stuff is hidden? Just saying perhaps you should.

    I agree, how awful!

    I totally agree. If you hear signs of physical abuse, that should be reported immediately.

    This whole thread makes my heart sick and makes me want to rescue all those kids.
