I didn't know i was being so stressed out by school etc until i saw the pimples that started popping out from my face. i never had so many pimples in my life before.
and it's not a nice sight.
spent the whole day with Lakshmi in Vivo yesterday, bought a couple of things. it's nice to finally be free and just do almost nothing the whole day and just chill and relax (chillax) at Gloria Jeans. it's been a while.
& the streets were more crowded because it was public holiday, so i saw many families around. and that's where i witnessed a few abusive parents. ( i told Ramesh i'm gonna blog about this). Maybe they were disciplining their children. but in public?
1st scenario A mother grabbing her sons ears wih both her hands. shaking it very violently, and shouting in his face. his glasses were out of place, eyes filled with tears, face dripping with tears, and was flung back and forth by his mother, resulting in extremely red ears. maybe he was naughty, but was that needed? many passer-bys stopped to look. but that did not stop the abusive mother.
2nd scenario this one was not abusive physically but was abusive verbally. i was in the train on the way home. mother and son. the mother whispered something to her son and he started being very cautious about his surroundings. they were standing and there were no vacant seats. on man stood up to alight. immediately the son ran towards the vacant seat but lost to another man who got to the seat first. guess what the mother said to her son? "...because you stupid! you very slow! stupid!".
let's not be abusive parents when we grow up. we not only make a fool of ourselves in public, we embarrass our children.
