I was shopping today and I saw a young girl, possibly 20 if that with three young children running behind her. She was also with some friends who had a few young children as well.
One of the children, a girl I think who would be about two, was lagging a little behind the rest but it took the young mother a few minutes to notice. When she did she scremed at the the little girl using language no child should ever hear ("stupid little fucking cunt") sorry to use such language but I feel the severity needs to be made clear. When the little girl didn't move any faster the mother moved behind her and hit her with a plastic bag that contained a box with something fairly heavy in it, the child screamed and becasue it caught the back of her legs she fell to the floor. I have never heard anyone scream as load as that child did, and I have worked in a general hospital in a plaster room. The mother grabbed the child by her arm and picked her up calling her something else equally unpleasant and telling her she wil give her something to cry about if she didnt shut up. This made me angry beyond belief. I'm not saying I'm against disciplining your children, I had a few smacks when I was younger and it did me no harm, but this little girl was doing nothing wrong, she was probably tired and bored of shopping as most kids are. What that mother did was plain wrong. I know I don't know the family, the problems they may be having but no child should be treated in that way. What future will she have????
What makes me angry though is the fact that I will never be able to have children in the natural sense, yes theres adoption, theres surrogacy etc etc but because of my lifestyle choice/genes/way I was brought up, whichever side of that particular fence you sit on, I can't have a child of my own with the man I love and share my life with. We would be fantastic parents and would give any child all the love and care they could ever need. I try not to think about it too much but every now and again it really does get to me more so when I see children with vile mothers like I have today. We have a beautiful godson called Ethan (See pic) who we love and spoil as if he where our own son, but he isnt and never can be and for someone that wants a child as much as I do I know there will always be something missing...

I know what you mean Simon. I have never been fertile, but I was 'mum' to my husband's two teenage girls. I would never have treated them this way, not even if they were little.
It's a bloody outrage... and society just looks on...
It makes you so angry doesn't it.
If you want kids, I hope you do get the chance Simon, you could adopt. I bet you would be a brilliant dad.
Had tears in my eyes reading your entry then, it hurts to see or hear people be so cruel like that when they don't realise how lucky they are and the thought probably never even enters their little minds.
The day I finished my university finals and I came out to my friends one by one on the wall outside the pub (!), one of my friends told me the only concern she had was that she knew I'd love kids. So I count myself very lucky now to have my nephew, niece and godchildren to look after, and now my two "stepchildren"!
You'd make great dads.
