Why do people think it's okay to tell you what they think you are doing wrong

@awildsheepschase this wasn't that! She was not sharing something that she had gone through her ass was being rude. It's often not what you say to people it's how you say it. The right words can change judgemental to caring and sharing.

@AngelUnforgiven Wow, okay not sure how you can talk so passionately what is not yours. You aren't wrong

@awildsheepschase My passion comes from 22 years of working with children with special needs, behavioral health, and geriatrics. I have seen it 1st hand. And common sense goes a long way. Kindness is free and does not cost you anything.

@AngelUnforgiven but fit that into how that matters here? I'm confused

@awildsheepschase what are you confused about? I cannot dumb it down any further. I said that she was rude, you do not judge someone's parenting skills in public in front of their child no less. You can give someone your opinion with kindness and not be judgemental, hence, why I said it's not what you say it's how you say it. And I said that I worked with children with disabilities etc as to make it clear that I am not a parent of one, but howeverI can relate. I am an advocate and I am very passionate when it comes to all kids. People need to use common sense children tend to blame themselves for certain things and it takes away their innocence. For instance the child may think this lady is mad at my dad because of something I did. So Thank God that this baby did not hear her. Like I said it's common sense, and people need to use it more often .

@AngelUnforgiven Yet you don't see how you are rude and there are a thousand possibilities and you chose the hostile one. You have to leave room for things are not always what they appear

@awildsheepschase she didn't ask me a question, she stopped me in a busy stadium full of people to say that I needed to make him stop doing something that was comforting to him when he is nervous even though he is special.
What if he had heard her being rude. What if he thought he was doing something wrong. Why say anything to me in the first place.

@Cigarguy101 I don't know, but I think you should let it go. All children hear things that hurt them and they have to adjust; we can't protect them from that.

@awildsheepschase why should I let it go. I could see the need to say something if he was walking around doing something that might hurt him but he wasn't, he was a little nervous so he was doing something that was comforting to him. He was scared and this woman felt it was ok for her to tell me I need to make him stop. I shouldn't have to protect him from a grown up saying something rude about him.

And @AngelUnforgiven thank you for doing what you do for 20 years and standing up for our special kiddos.

@Cigarguy101 You think it helps when they see you visibly upset? We can't become upset with everyone in the world who doesn't see someone else's sensitivity, but if that makes me a bad person for saying, than let it be. I'll never own that kind of clairvoyance to know why anyone says anything.

@awildsheepschase I didn't get upset with her, I politely said thanks for that and go royals and we walked on. I could have said something very rude to her.

I came here to vent my frustration about a stranger stoping me as I'm walking with my son to point out that I'm doing something wrong by letting him do this. And honestly the way she said just because he's special. Like that was anything to do with it.

She didn't need to say anything to me

@Cigarguy101 No, she didn't need to say anything. I'm not trying to excuse her, I hope you know. And with re-reading, I know's he's a special boy is very poor of her, I'm sorry.

@awildsheepschase thank you
