I saw a mother the other day at the mall. She had the cutest little girl in a pink dress with her and they were sharing some ice cream. The mother was covered in tattoos, had both arms sleeved and a few tats on her ankles.
Watching them for a moment I noticed that I couldn't distinguish her from any other mother in the mall besides her tattoos, and that her tattoos didn't make a difference in how she interacted with her child. She was just another mother to me. Of course, some of the people around me were scowling at her, as if she had no right raising a kid. One woman made a rude remark that I caught about half of.
Personally, I think that physical appearance does not matter, it matters if a parent is a good parent and not if they *look* like they are. I mean, my father was horribly abusive but he looked like a perfect gentleman.
So what do you guys think? Should it matter what a parent looks like, or should it matter how they treat their child?
