MRW an entire family ignores their screaming toddler on the train while they eat salad out of plastic bags

Jun 24, 2017 9:41 AM

Seriously, the kid is screaming for mama and papa, and my ears are starting to bleed

You know those shitty people who do things like yell at Servers or the Clerk at McDonalds? They are created when parents give in to BS(1)

tantrums and crying. You are dealing with the crying of a child today to avoid having to deal with a shitty spoiled adult. Good Parents.(2)

All these comments. How on earth you ignore a kid even in tantrum? Not givin in does not mean you still wouldnt try to calm him down

My sentiments exactly, especially in a crowded train car full of people that paid good money for a peaceful journey.

Was the child throwing a tantrum, or legitimately upset? I have seen both. I can be hard for bystanders to tell the difference sometimes.

She seemed legit upset, her cries were forlorn and sad, not angry and frustrated:/

Hard to say. It's often something unique you learn as a parent about your own child.

Yes, depends on the kid. You can't reward tantrums...it's like negotiating with terrorists. It's tough in public, but gotta hold ur ground.

Possibly a child with autism who is overstimulated. If so, the best they can do for all involved is ignore.

Or they could be starving and that kid is dead now because no one bothered to share their salad. For all the good assuming does, it doesn't.

Sometimes kids need to learn that attention is not given for screaming. It's hard to know the context of their parent/child relationship ATM
