Having a Jesus take the wheel moment! Asked a question in my FB group based on an incident I've just seen at the bus…

Haha oh okay x

I joined the FB group through this app @nashkay small world huh 😁 xx

Lol bless you. I didn't realise you used this app. How random to see you here. X

Yep @nashkay I just had to walk away... Thanks so much though, she had a lot to say and very defensive so I just let her preach on xx

Hey @msmplymschloe you're on about the post you put on Feb UK moms? I think that boy was a little bastard tbh and if one of me or my siblings had done that to my mom I dread to think what she'd have done lol don't worry about it too much Hun. People just like to say shit online. So what if you were judging the mother or the boy. You have the right to your own opinions X

I genuinely don't think my child would even have got that close to my purse. I grew up with my parents variety of looks that literally could stop me in my tracks, I use the same methods with my nieces & nephews, I talk to them a lot explaining when they do demonstrate bad behaviour so I have never been in a situation like that. I felt for the mother because she was trying her very best and her son was blatantly bullying her to get his way and didn't care who heard him. When she threatened to pull down his trousers and smack him if he didn't stop he told her he didn't care because it would be her who hurt her hand 😳

I'm intrigued as to what your opinion is @simplymschloe or as to what you would do? No judgement here lovely x

I am the mother of two boys aged 4 & nearly 6. If I'm honest mine would not dare do this, I am very strict at times and they know that I mean what I say and when I say no it means no with no if buts or maybe. They also know that if they have been warned not to do something or told to pack something in and they don't I will follow through on punishments like bedtime 6pm, iPad bans, gameboy bans and no treats. People may veiw me as an 'awful mum' but my children are very well behaved and I am very rarely in a situation where they need a telling off. Spoiling your child and letting them get away with anything will not do them any favours in the long run.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?!

(Can I say that there is no judgement and I have just watched this play out word for word in front of me. - I added this bit later)

A 9 yr old boy has just had a full meltdown tantrum at the bus stop because he is hungry. His mum told him that the bus was coming in a minute and he could wait the few minutes it takes them to get home. He insisted that he could run to the shop and back in time to get the bus if she would give him £1. She told him to wait and at this point (I already felt for her) he started shouting, stamping his foot and became insistent that if he had the money he could have gone already AND THEN he reached and tried to grab her purse from her hands.... 😱😖

One of those moments you can't quite believe what you are seeing? I just had a genuine moment of fear for the world I am bringing my son into, this mother is trying to be so calm and her son doesn't care, was in no way afraid and tried to bully and embarrass her into doing what he wanted.

In her shoes what would you do?!!?

What's the incident? Opinion?
