Observance

Today, when taking a bus home, there's this mother with 3 kids sitting in front of me. I don't know what happen... the mother started to scold her boy loudly! It's like so loud?! The boy is in his uniform, guess he must be a primary school kid. At first I thought he must have did something very wrong that the mother was so angry. With that kind of apologetic look on his face, I felt sorry for him. The mother started to scold and scold.... tsk.... irritated by her tone man. At that moment I know what's happening.

It was actually the mother wanted to call her boy to sit over with her (a seat that is near to her) but the boy can't hear her.(The bus was so crowded then)

I felt sorry for him because practically the whole bus is filled with his mother's scoldings and the passengers were all looking at them.(Including me... though I tried to look away, afraid that if the boy saw me looking at him, he will feel worse)

Secondly, I seriously think that the mother should not put him DOWN in front of so many people. It's so embarrassing for a little boy to undertake that kind of attention and pressure.

At that second, I start telling myself that I must not do that to my children next time.

I really hate parents putting down their children in public.

Moreover, just because of a small matter.

Last time I even saw a mother kicking her girl in a shopping centre. That's worst! It's the most horrible thing I saw what parent did to their kid LIVE right in front of my big big eyes. Despise this type of parents. Well... of course the girl is lucky cos' just by few centimetres, she will be really kicked by her mother right into the stomach.


HORRIBLE!


Why in the first place giving birth to them and mistreat them? 10 old good months of labour.... and 'hated' them so much? Logic? TSK!

Oh god.... I must not mistreat my children next time!
