don’t judge mum/dad

there were once i was having lunch with my first born at a shopping centre where i saw a kid around 2yo crying and walking around. The mum later appeared behind and took him away while he is still crying.

“aiyo, why the kid is crying so hard?” said by the passerby

i was thinking “that’s none of your business.”

this reminds me of my experience with my 3yo xh. she was very delighted to go shopping centre at first. when we about to reach, she suddenly had a melt down FOR NO REASON. if you think i might be wrong, i am VERY VERY certain that she just suddenly throw tantrum out of no where and started crying when we almost reach the shopping centre entrance. my first born was with us and he can vouch for me. she cried so hard that no matter how hard or whatever method we tried, we couldn’t stop her. we had no choice but to let her finish crying. the episode took almost an hour, and in the midst, we attracted many attention. some passerbys tried to interfere maybe because he thought that i am a bad mum who ignore a crying child. some tried to coax her with sweets. of course, nothing works until she felt tired from the crying and starts to calm down. and finally appleased her with a strawberry milk. 

here is what i want to say, DON’T JUDGE A MUM/DAD!

you simple know nothing about the child and what happened before and after. just because the kid is crying doesn’t make the mum/dad a bad one. please be informed that crying is a type of communication/expression that a young kid often use. unless you witness the mum/dad physically abuse the child, you may wish to report to the police immediately. otherwise, PLEASE MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

thank you very much.
