😱 Screaming at a Stranger: Justified or Over the Top?
Our storyteller takes her kids to a soft play area, only to have her 2-year-old son constantly harassed by another child. 😡 After 20 minutes of this, she finally steps in and scolds the bully. 😤 She then discovers the child's mother is sitting in a separate area, completely ignoring her kids and leaving them unsupervised. 🤦♀️ Furious, she confronts the mother, who starts crying and saying she has 4 kids and shouldn't complain. 💔 Our protagonist doesn't back down, telling her it's not her problem and to get her act together. 🗣️ Her husband thinks she went too far, but she's still fuming. 💥 Let's see what the internet thinks of this heated situation...
