Message to Mommies

I learned so much working at the big box store.  If I could say one thing to the mommies out there I would say---put down the phone and pay attention!  Your child and I have a whole conversation as people relating to each other in the real world while you are busy with that phone in your hand.  Your children are embarrassed by your awkward social behavior,  because you are too busy with that darn phone.

The second thing I would say to the mommies out there---your children are children and teach them how to be children!  Without proper teaching they end up being inappropriate, annoying and in danger--but you don't know it because you are distracted by your phone!

It is easy to tell which parents take the time to teach and the time love their children.  Put down the phone....being in the presence of your children and being "with" your children are two different behaviors and you will get two different outcomes.  That is my unsolicited advice to the mommies out there!
