I am not the judge or jury


Hey reader

So a couple of days ago I was in my local area 10 mins away from my house having lunch with my mum and 2 of her friends. we were sitting down at this restraunt outside because on of her friends has a dog. when all of a sudden a child was having a huge tantrum the child must have been school age but I watched this with empathy for both the mother and the child. It got me thinking If i was in that situation what would I do? ther were lots of people who passed by and stopped and asked the mother was she ok but i realised that people never really asked the mother is the boy ok? I was thinking from being a nanny myself and also doing social work what had happened to this family 10 minutes before hand? 

I give credit to the mother because whilst this was all happening she remained calm she didn't have a cross word she just sat there and let it happen. Yes she must have felt embarrassed and afraid but she was showing love to that boy, she was saying I know that you are angry and i can see that but I still love you and i am still here for you. Out of no where though this old lady who i can see where she is coming from came out and attacked the mother and was yelling at her which i felt sorry for the mother. My mum's friend went up to her and said to her "how dare you, you have no right to yell at her!" then the old lady pushed my mum's friend and by push i mean shoved them. then came back 5 mins later and said "look what you did to me i have a bruise on my wrist from you people attacking me". 

Looking back on this situation i have had the pleasure of thinking about it from both sides. I understand that the mother knows what was best for this child. I can see that this old woman must have been frustrated to yell at this mother and say that she was a bad mother but i can tell you 100% she is not and if she is reading this i want her to understand that she is doing a good job and her son is being a kid and that is ok too sometimes we all have days that are a little bit rougher than others.
