Extreme MEAN Parenting

I was at an appointment today and as I was sitting in the waiting area, I unfortunately got to observe a grandma with her grandchild. This grandma was probably around 45-50 and had her grandson sitting with her while mom was taking care of something. I saw her son reach over to push my daughter's play stroller. He was probably 2 years old. The grandma snatched him up, spanked him, and started calling him a "faggot". All for pushing a stroller. Then he started to cry and she kept calling him a sissy over and over. Then she said she was going to tell daddy what a sissy and faggot he was. Good grief! She just kept yelling, "shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. No one said anything. I think we were all just shocked and staring. I hope his mommy isn't like that with him. I really felt for the little boy.

    And AS IF men don't become parents, too! I hope his mom finds out what's up!

    I hope someone is watching out for that wee boy, being treated like that amounts to abuse.

    I watched a man spank his 9 month old son several times at church. *shiver* NINE MONTHS OLD! I admit it's been hard to look at him in any other way than crazy.

    I can't understand why someone would go off on a little child, insulting them especially. Yes, children ate stressful. They're still children.

NICE people can comment here. If you are looking for a place to vent, please just go scream in your pillow. It helps. :D
