I work under a pediatritian's office. Once already this week I was torn to shreds by a Mom (see the question on my profile)
Right now, there is a large executive meeting going on in my office. At the same time, there are four kids in the hall sliding up and down the staircase causing a dreadful racket. I could tell the meeting was being disturbed by the noise, so I went out into the hallway and approached the kids kindly saying "Hey guys, can you try to keep it down a little out here? We have some very importnt work going on." I was very kind and when speaking to them, and they all nodded politely, and the noise stopped...for a second. Then, Mom came out from around the corner, abruptly hung up her cell phone, and tore into me. She was yelling " What gives you the right to reprimand my kids? You know, you should just talk to the parents. You have no right to reprimand MY children!!"
Was I wrong here? Or are these moms just nuts?
