(11,200 posts)Lack of proper parenting on the mother's part results in the creation of a brat who thinks that if he throws a temper tantrum he will get what he wants. The mother is bigger then her child and the child is already hitting her. Just what do you think will happen as the child grows and eventually is bigger then his mother? What do you think will stop him from hitting other people? Just how well do you think that this kid's behavior will be accepted at school? With his peers? He could easily become a pariah because his mother isn't taking the time to parent the child. Just what kind of adult do you think he will grow into?
What his mother should have done was haul his butt out of there and taken him home. The man changed the dynamics of the situation and forced the mother to have to actually have to deal with her own child. If I had been there I would have give the guy a big thumbs up.
