This is just my opinion.
What are some women thinking of when they decide to be mothers. I can't say it any other way. When a woman becomes pregnant, she automatically becomes a mother, the moment she decides to keep the baby and follow through the pregnancy and give birth.

With this in mind, why is it that many mothers abandon their children, mistreat and sometimes even become violent with their children. I just can't imagine doing something like that to my children and I have five. Each and every one is different, but I can still handle all five. There are some women who only have one. Yet, they are at their minds ends, not knowing how to keep this little gift from God.

I was talking to my sister and we had the same opinions. Children are being mistreated or abandoned and not disciplined properly. The other day, we walked into a grocery store and we were shocked when we heard a child crying and yelling at the top of their lungs. The parents were walking toward the section where the cleaning supplies were. The father tells the mother ,"Isn't there anything you can do to calm him down? It's very nerve racking to hear him yell that way!" The mother tried telling their son to please behave himself and she would buy him something. It didn't seem to work.

The little boy really didn't even hear his mom, he was yelling so loud. We thought she was going to get her son and tell him,"You need to behave yourself or we are going to leave the store and you aren't going to get a treat", or something along those lines. Instead the father gets the child and spanks him and throws him into the shopping basket. He turns around and tell his wife "Can't you do anything right?"

The mother just looked at him and said,"Sorry it won't happen again." The child, instead of getting quiet was now kicking and screaming at the top of his lungs, from the pain he was in. We were so appalled at what we saw. We didn't know how to react. At that moment their cell phone rang and the dad says, "Come on, we have to leave. We can come back later or another day when you have taught him to behave himself in public."

I felt like telling him, "Who taught you to behave in public." I was so upset. My sister went home and hugged her kids and told them she loved them.
