As a mother myself, I hate to overstep any boundaries, but..
I have a friend who is way too hard on her three year old. She doesn't have a lot of money, so I often pick her and her child up and take them with me when I have to go to the grocery store or whatever because she doesn't have a car or a way to get there (she and her husband share the car and he takes it to work).
She straight up yells at him in the store, often telling him to "SHUT UP" when he isn't even being that loud. He'll just be talking, but she thinks he needs to be quiet when they shop.
Another time, I took them tot he doctor because he was sick and he kept wanting to get out of his seat in the waiting room and she told him to "sit his little @ss down and shut up."
She's otherwise a good mother, but the way she talks to him concerns me. Should I say something? What would I say?
