Today, my two infants and I went to the mall. Timmy is almost six years old, and Addie is almost one month old. Addie grows hungry as we are exploring. Timmy responds positively when I ask if he’s hungry, so we head to the food court and he gets his favorite sesame chicken.
We order Addie’s favorite boobie pleasure when we sit down to eat. I put on a mask and fill her belly. As Timmy finishes his chicken, a woman carrying food passes by, and the child gives me a pout and droops her eyelids. She then moves to seat down, and as I watch, she gives me another glance before coming over to remark, in an extremely disrespectful manner,
My son interrupts me as I’m about to say something, saying, “I don’t need to see your kid eat while I’m eating.” “She’s eating food with no body part showing,” the woman remarks. “I can see her legs, you can’t see any part of my sister,” he remarks, turning to face the girl once more. The woman asked me whether I had allowed him to speak that way to everyone. I asked, “How, honestly?” She reminded me once again that I needed to use the restroom.
Timmy stood up and approached her table. When she inquired as to what he was doing, he replied, “I was going to help you with your food to the bathroom too,” which made me proud.
Kindly forward this to every mother you know. Encouraging children to speak up and stand up for themselves and their family is the best thing a parent can do.
