I have to admit from those experiences, I became somewhat judgmental of bad parenting. BUT, since being infertile, I do feel like I cannot comment as much, whereas, when I just didn't have kids and was a healthy fertile lady, I didn't think anything of it. <br /><br />I feel like my friends & family look at me more now when I say something - like I must have a chip on my shoulder. Ross in particular will always say "well, they could just be having a bad day" - like I am being too hard on them. I do know sometimes both children and parents are off. But, other times, I think the parents really do just suck at their job and that I am not wrong. AND I am not being bitter about it - I am just noting it because it was annoying. <br /><br />I agree, you don't have to be a parent to know when behavior is wrong. I can see the difference between a frazzled tired mom or a cranky child to just plain bad behavior. <br /><br />Thank you for letting me rant :)Nicolehttp://nicoleciomek.comnoreply@blogger.com
