That is sad but also realize that at times parents need a break too. I am not saying a whole basketball game break.

My tee ball complaints are stemmed from watching the same parents week after week doing the same thing and my neighbor.

But you really can't judge a parent by one glimpse into their lives. Everyone is going to have DAYS or moments with their kids.

I am just saying in general to everyone realize the child you see having a tantrum in the grocery store or restaurant is probably not reflective of their actual life or their parents skills to raise them. They are most likely having a moment.

It is a hard job being a good parent but worth it.
