Hey Nadine

That is just such a tough situation isn't it It makes me so upset to see parents acting like that to their children..it really makes me feel sick. I really feel for the child, and mother. I know we do all have different styles/ways of parenting, but to swear at a child like that really hits a nerve to me. Yes, it is damn hard when there is no husband or partner around to help and it can almost break you at times, but I could never imagine behaving like that to my daughter who is a similar age. NEVER.

No, I definitely don't think you should mind your own business in this case. This poor mum needs support otherwise things are just going to get worse. I just wonder if there are any other support services in your town that might be able to help her out?..
I know how busy you are, but I think it would be so fantastic if you could take her DD just for 2 hours or something so she could go have a coffee or something?
You are very sweet for looking out for them I really hope her DH can come back soon
