I am new to reading your blog. This is only the second one (so far) I have read. The first being your blog about being in "5 guys" - Which I completely lost control and was laughing and crying hysterically at the same time - so much so that my dogs were wondering what the hell was wrong with me and started barking uncontrollably at me - until I stopped. I love moments like that...the

I have read this post several times, and love it every time. I hope that I have the sense to help another mom out like this sometime... and also that said mom doesn't punch me in the face for interfering. BRAVO.

I hate you for making me cry when I came to this site for a laugh today.

(It's not your fault - I'm 8 months pregnant, my hubster has been acting like a piece of schmidt all week, and my two-year-old has JUST decided to fully embrace the Webster definition of "terrible twos", so I cry at EVERYTHING.)

Really, though, this is a great story. Thanks for

Although far less of an awesome story, this reminds me of the time I helped out an exasperated mother and her cute meltdown-toddler. It was at the Japanese market, and given my small amount of Japanese from college, I walked up to the kicking, screaming little girl and asked her (in Japanese) how she was doing, what her name was, and introduced myself. The girl was so shocked and surprised by

This inspires me to pay this action forward. We will all have days like this and sometimes we need to be reminded to snap out of it and act in love not anger.

Almost a year after you wrote this I found it and it has me in tears. Thank you for sharing the truth that a granny shared with you. It's so easy to forget to see things through the kiddo's eyes when life is just stress after stress!

I linked to this post from my blog, hope that's ok.

Hilarious!!! Just found this blog. Thank you for this.
And (because us mommies need to stick together) Check out www.sahmmy.com. I blog under Mother-naked. We have a very similar view on things.

Thanks again.

I can't believe you thumb typed this entire work of wonder... that is like a magical talent.

that is so awesome that u intervened like that... i have been in situations where ive wanted to be the mom to save the little girl/boy who is being yelled at like that but havent had the guts to get involved... you really are amazing

Wow. I am going to print this out and keep it in my purse for when my teenager boys are rubbing me the wrong way and I feel like losing it. Thank you Kate. What a beautiful story!

2010-08-26T03:18:32.907-04:00

Beautiful. And I so needed to read the "all she has in the world" advice. My son takes me to the edge and back on a daily basis and because I don't know what else to do with him and because I'm at wit's end before he even comes into the picture, I'm not the kind of mommy I want to be. I will keep these words from that kind old lady in the front of my head from now on.

Made me pissed and laugh at the same time.... BRAVO! I look forward to reading your blog often.... OH and remember when your little one's come home with a "friend" who is REALLY covered in ink... think back and say..." Did I do that?.... Yep sure did!" lol sweet dreams mommy :)

What an amazingly thoughtful and kind thing to do!...

2010-08-17T14:22:29.765-04:00

What an amazingly thoughtful and kind thing to do! Not only will I remember these words: "just remember, you're all he(she) has in the world…", but I will also remember your generosity and maybe one day, I will be in a store and see a mommy that just needs a break and I will do the same thing. Good job!!

2010-06-24T09:28:17.821-04:00

My Precious...now if I could just not say it in the Gollum voice, I would be all set next time I want to lose my schmidt on my teenager. Yes, all the above still applies in the World of Teenagers!

This is the best story ever. Truly!

Just found your blog today via a friend. Loving it!

I had *that* moment with my youngest yesterday. I immediately felt total shame and guilt. Still do, but I know she's forgotten it. :(

this is the best!

2010-04-08T19:22:57.193-04:00

Thank you for this story. I'm all she has in the world, too. Well, except for her totally awesome dad who is amazing beyond amazing. But I'm so scared that she'll wind up in therapy talking about what a shitty mom she had, but at least her dad was great. Thanks for this story.

2010-03-30T16:33:57.047-04:00

I really needed this today, and am so happy to see that many of us really are learning from our own experiences to be compassionate to others we see making mistakes. As twisted as it seems, it makes it just a smidge easier to forgive myself when I see another mom forgiving another mom, which is probably why you can add me to the crying-over-this bandwagon. :-) This blog is wonderful.

Darn. I was hoping the mom from Target would have seen this and posted a comment :-)
