Feel that I should confront them lovingly yet firmly but have no idea how

I see that too but I’m sure they’ll just curse you out for being in their business and telling them how to raise their kids

Im sure they will but I can’t just do nothing yk?

It’s not easy when you see things like this but I personally don’t think you should say anything unless it is full on abuse. I don’t think you’ll achieve much unfortunately and it’s their own business how they want to parent (even if it defo seems wrong) x

Have u heard that what we see in the world is a reflection of ourselves?
If it bothers you that much u need to wonder why you have the Strong urge to speak up.
We can't save every child that's being abused. It's not our place but you can become less triggered by exploring your triggers

@janae while I definitely see some truth in that saying it’s not 100% reliable exa: social workers see child abuse constantly and as someone who has been abused i can smell it a mile away and every time I see a child being verbally abused I don’t turn a blind eye eye. Using your logic that we shouldn’t saying anything while a child is abused would you feel the same way if your child was being bullied and abused by a clasemate or adult? After all it’s just one the many children that are . No I am not seeing a reflection of myself in the mother but perhaps in the child and standing up for a innocent child doesn’t not make you a monster love saying nothing about abuse does whoever

@janae as some with young children it pains me to see this callousness in yourself. So many children are murdered with neighbors testifying after that they heard and saw the abuse and in some way their silence allowed those murders to kill those babies. I’m not here to judge mamas Ik what it means to be stressed but I refuse to see rainbows and butterflies while children are murdered and raped.
