For those of us that don’t have children, sometimes it can feel a bit annoying when going through the aisle of a supermarket and there’s a Mom and her kids in the way because she’s handling a temper tantrum that’s getting out of control. Or, if we’re able to make a right turn on red, there’s a Mom stepping off the curb with her stroller and toddler in hand taking time because she’s got a lot to handle. And of course there’s the favorite – the screaming child in the restaurant or airplane. Please let’s be patient for this. I’m sure many of us are patient, but for those of us that aren’t, let’s remember: It is not easy to be a mother. We were all children once and probably would have liked it if others were patient with us. So let’s wait for the Mom and her kids (or any person, for that matter) to pass your car at a safe distance before barreling past, and not give them “the look” if we’re inconvenienced by having to slow down. They appreciate it and it’s a good thing all around. After all, patience is a virtue.
