I was at work doing some rearranging that the "geniuses" in management wanted done when an older lady, her daughter, and grandkids came strolling by. The older lady wanted some film and grabbed a disposable camera. daughter starts off by screeching she shouldn't have grabbed the camera like she was one of her children. Lady then sees the batteries and is reminded that she needs some rechargables for her digital camera. daughter says "you don't need those. you can use regular batteries like we do" but in a condescending voice. If I were to speak to my mother in that voice, she would have smacked me regardless of how old i am. They were only there for a few minutes but her daughter would not stop making her mother feel and look stupid. It bugged me to no end and wishing I could scream at her to stop treating her mother like a child.
I also had a job as a cashier at a restaurant and a regular customer and her daughter and grandson would come in every Fri and Sat night and daughter would constantly just tell her mother to shut up, stop being so stupid, ect. You have no idea how badly I wished mom would yank on her too tight on her head ponytail and smack her face. Moms put up with enough crap from their kids when they are younger but to continue it as adults. Uh...no! I wouldn't even think of speaking to my mom like that.
Sorry, I just find it disrespectful in all ways and not just because I'm a mom. I just feel that to put someone down who took care of you when sick, clothed, and fed you for years as best as they could is just plain mean.
Rant/sighting done. thanks for reading
