It was a busy day, and pretty quick, there were several of us waiting to leave, and the brat wasn't letting up on the screaming.
I turned and said to the man behind me, "Looks like we are going to be hear till mom develops some parenting skills"
Mom GLARED at me.
When I was a kid, the inconvenient meltdown problem was handled with a quick swat to the behind and lasted all of 1 second, nowadays, the meltdowns must be handled with consultations, medications, and is fraught with the peril of lifetime psychological trauma.
Sorry, but your story makes you sound like in ignorant arsehole.
