Dont Ignore The Children

[lynbrown]

Yet another bus journey home ruined by a young mum who spent the whole time texting on her phone. She looked up occasionally at her little girl and barked out threats and instructions about sitting properly etc in a voice I wouldn't use to a dog. I was desperate to say " Pay attention to your child and put the phone away" yet was scared I would get a mouthful. This often happens and it is heart breaking to see young children so ignored. The poor wee girl tonight just sat, uncomplaining, and singing a song. I told her she was a lovely singer as I left my seat, and I wondered if she ever has a kind word said to her.

whatever kind of day the parent is having they shouldnt use language like that at their kids.

I have to agree, I see young mums breastfeeding their darling little babies and texting or chatting on their phones. To me this is a time of specialness between mother and child.
