    I think I'm raising a gentle parent...

    Beware parents in public, DD1 will call you on your behaviour.

    In the checkout at Coles with DD1 who is almost 3 and a mother behind us is getting angry at her child. The kid was a bit older than DD1 and I don't know what he did wrong but apparently he was going to be in for 'a world of trouble' when they got home. I think he didn't want to put the toilet paper from his little trolley on the counter or something. Anyway, he ended up getting yelled at and getting a smack, and then DD1 says loudly:

    'Hey! What is she doing? What is she doing to that boy Mummy? Hey! Is she hitting? OH NO! WE DON'T HIT EACHOTHERS!!!! That is not very nice!!'

    I tried not to make eye contact with them and just told DD1 quietly, 'that's right, it wasn't very nice, we shouldn't hit' and got the hell out of there

    Good for her! It's sad that anyone other than a child being hit would have been defended by the other adults there.
