…how to behave / kids
Dear followers,
just came back from buying my lunch and im so upset. If you see a father give his son a really hard smack over his neck cuase he dropped a glas while having lunch at a restaurant: shall you say something or just ignore it? Im not talking about grabbing the arm a little bit and telling him firmly what he is doing wrong. No im saying a hard smack on the neck with force that I heard and saw while passing by… I think sometimes not interfering is like aproving the behavior. I know sometimes its hard and sometimes its scary cuase people are crazy out there. I told him that i thought that was not necessary and he looking at me crazy as mad as thought he wanted to wrip me apart. I got a little bit scared. Its my kid! Who are you to interfere?!? He screamed. And he his right: its his kid. But that kid will not grow up happy and he will do the same mistakes as his father. And that is sad.
Let me know what you think,
Helena

that is scary! I’ve never witnessed a scenario like that before, but good for you for sticking up for the kid. Hopefully it will make the father think twice about his actions next time.
I am so glad you gave him a reaction. In my opinion, it`s the only right thing to do.
… what a lovely blog you have.
Oh my! Good on you for saying something – as scary as it must have been. I think it’s one of those things where if you didn’t speak up you’d regret it for ages afterwards. As Alli said hopefully it will make the father think twice next time.
