[QUOTE="witzend, post: 217355, member: 99"] I catch myself looking because I understand how helpless the parents can feel from time to time. I agree that the mom [i]may[/i] have been able to take the child to the mall another time, but maybe not. I remember having to take L on the bus to see Santa, and it took hours. There is no way I would have gone back if I had to leave the first time. There were probably times that I lashed out or would have liked to lash out at other parents when under stress. I do find myself wondering whether I look at parents in this situation for too long. I am usually wondering if I can figure out something to say or do to help. I never figure it out... [/QUOTE]
