Don't you just love Facebook?  It can show people's true colours and their ignorance by the groups or pages they decide to become a fan of. Take my sister in law for example: Today she has chosen to be a member of the "I didn't go to the shops to listen to your child's tantrum" group.... Ohhhh I hear all you parents out their gasping (which is a sight more polite than what I did when I saw that news update and the fact that this particular group exists I can tell you!) And then I realised as I swore and thought of all the things I could have commented about her joining that group... she is ignorant because she isn't a member of the "I have kids and I love them no matter what" world like me, and I remember what I was like when I was in my mid twenties and unattached and childless. Picture it, young single girl out at the shops spending my hard earned cash on such necessary items like a new outfit for the weekend (because that's what lots of cashed up young single girls do, remember those days?) and there is a young child having a tantrum in the middle of the mall because his/her mum won't give them an ice cream.  Young single girl thinks "just give it to him/her, what are you stingy or something, its just an ice cream and if he/she stops crying all good"! Fast forward 10 years and now Mature married lady with kids thinks " oh that poor mother trying to deal with a tantrum in a public place with everyone watching, hope no old fart goes over and tells her what she should be doing to handle the situation, nosey bee's that they are". No matter what you say to someone that doesn't have kids (childcare workers and teachers excluded here) they just won't understand that type of situation and show compassion until they actually experience it as a parent. So if your proud like me to live in the "world only a parent understands" stand up and shout it from the roof tops!  See if we can't drown out that damn Facebook page!
