In my complex, on my way to my house, I see a woman chilling by the pool, she’s gently rocking her baby in the stroller. What catches my eye and ear is her toddler’s scream.
He’s rolling on the floor, crying. I watch him get up, slam himself on the floor and scream louder.

His mother gets up from her lounge position, I assume she’s going to console him. Instead, she pulls back the lounge chairs beside the toddler, dragging them away from him.
Then, she goes back to chilling on her lounge chair,

continues to rock the baby in the stroller while the toddler throws a tantrum.
I move close to her, “Is he okay?” I ask, half smiling, half concerned.
“Oh, he’s fine. He will be fine,” she says. She is quite unbothered.

Ah! How do you people watch your child scream and throw himself around but you stay calm? She even pulled back the chairs so he won’t hit his head but didn’t stop him from being a public nuisance. 😂
Can anyone tell me what’s going through her mind as she watches the boy go off?
