Parents: I just don't understand.

So I love shopping at the thrift stores. My favorite places to shop! They have great deals, and I love finding cheap treasures.

While shopping at my local store the other day there was another family shopping there as well. While my husband and youngest daughter were looking at some toys the kids from the other family was in that area as well. One of the boys toughed something and the mother/grandmother yelled at the child "stop touching Sh**!" This is one thing my husband and I both don't deal well with. If you want to talk to your child that way, well it is your prerogative, but in front of mine not so much. I don't understand why parents feel like those words will make their child listen better.

After we left my husband and I were talking and he made a good point. When all that cussing goes on in a store imagine what goes on at home. Well when little Johnny goes to school and repeats these words how do the parents react? I am guessing they either think it's funny, or they get mad and the kid gets in trouble. Either way the child is learning at a young age to be a potty mouth and that those words have more weight than positive ones.

It hurts my heart to see parents like these with kids much less the group they had. Especially when I know so many good hearted people that are struggling to have kids of their own. Knowing they would never cuss at or be cruel to a child. I just don't understand why some people are so blessed and can't even see what God has given them, while those who are lacking are praying for miracles daily. Please parents open your eyes and see that children are a blessing, not a burden.

Can you imagine if I walked up to that lady and told her to stop touching Sh**! What would she have done? She probably would have had choice words for me, what would have been a better reaction? What would you have done, because you want to leave a good impression with the child one that says you don't have to talk like that to get a positive reaction out of that child.
