I felt so alone and there was one particular family who were SO judging. I always try and at least give a sympathetic look to hassled Mums. It's bloody hard work parenting!OldPoyntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175123772953161618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948913817819038806.post-41204976873965413012015-08-14T01:49:57.103+01:002015-08-14T01:49:57.103+01:00People can be so insensitive!

Certainly better than judging! <br />Thanks for linking up to #AnythingGoes<br />Debbie<br />www.myrandommusings.blogspot.com<br />Random Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298522848171348845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948913817819038806.post-86803383746957368282015-08-11T10:11:42.644+01:002015-08-11T10:11:42.644+01:00I've certainly been there, my friend.

I always offer a sympathetic smile to people in that situation but I do worry it comes off the wrong way.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705879580506892159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948913817819038806.post-66939885706035215392015-08-10T14:55:10.448+01:002015-08-10T14:55:10.448+01:00I LOVE this and how true it is.

A kind word DOES go a long way, its something people too often forget in this age of technology. <br /><br />I realise this sounds a bit "ranty" but people are losing social skills because they live in an online world, I've seen it with various children, they spend their lives on the internet, their social circle covers the globe, but within their interactions there are no reality checks - one can say something "mean" to the other with little or no consequence, where as in "real life" you have a reality check, you get the consequence, be it guilt at seeing the hurt you have caused, a punch in the face for being rude, or the disapproval of your peers. Sorry for the rant.<br /><br />Kind words cost nothing, thank you for the reminder, I will make my goal to say at least one kind thing to someone per day.Travelling Beach Bumshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00408208508000592608noreply@blogger.com
