Kid rolls on floor of boutique, but Mum doesn't care
STOMPer Maria says this child was seen rolling all over the floor at a women's boutique, while her mother paid no attention to her and seemed more engrossed in paying her bill at the cashier.
The STOMPer says:
"Picture taken in a Zara store last Friday (Aug 1) night.
"Are parents these days ignorant of their children's behavior?
"How can a parent, after bringing a child to this world, be mindless about the upbringing of the child?
"Yes, this may just be a small issue of her lying on a public ground, but it affects how people look at this child and the parent.
"This girl was seen lying on the ground, doing log rolls all over the floor and her ignorant and irresponsible mother paid no attention to her and was only engrossed in paying the bills at the cashier.
"Is her precious Zara bag more important than her child's safety?
"The child could have turned and hurt herself or even get trampled on.
"Furthermore, it's a public place where foreigners are here. Is this the impression we, Singaporeans, want to give them?
"A country who cannot even maintain a good upbringing and proper education for children?"
Issue: What's your say about this? Comment on what stomper Maria has written about parents being mindless about their children.

I feel that parents now adays are getting more engrossed in their own things than the things their children really need,for example working long hours everyday.I think that the child was trying to get attention by rolling on the floor,but failed to because her mother was busy attending to her own things.This shows that she didn't cultivate the values in her child.The child's mother didn't seem to care about her daughter's wellware or how it would reflect her up bringing.Parents now adays seem to be more lenient to their children thinking that they are still kids,nothing to worry about,but they are wrong.The younger one is,the easier to instill good habits.So we all should change while we are still young,or it'll be more difficult to change when we are adults.
If the parents dont want children why in the first place did she give birth to her , if she wants a children she should really teach her , not just care about buying her bags . If other country people saw this , they would think that Singapore is a country that dont care what their children do . And the children may get hurt , what if she hit her turn and die ? The parents just need to ask her child not to roll on the floor , what is it so hard to do ?
I agree with STOMPer Maria.If i were a foreigner and it is my first time in singapore, i would be disgusted about the way parents upbring their child.On the other hand, if i were a parent,i would think that the mother is a very ignorant and irresponsible parent.She seems to care more about herself than her child.The mother did not think that the way her child acts,whether good or bad,reflects entirely on her.Even thought her child was being a spoilt brat and wanting her way,She could have at least have the tendency to discipline her at home or somewhere private instead of letting her roll all over the floor.The child could have got hurt.In my point of view,if a mother does not know to to look after her child,she should not have had a child in the first place.
I've also seen quite a few of this disgraceful scene when I go out with my friends. We would always think of the mother first because it is the mother who bring up this child . Whatever behaviour the child does or speaks will be thought being teached by the parent.And also singapore is quite a wellknown country and many of the foreigners come to visit. But if they saw this, they will thought of regret visiting singapore and if next time he/her's friends or relatives wants to come, they will persuade them not to come. Singapore education is also known as world standard but after seeing this kind of scene, will they think that the teachers here are doing their job ? Plus the child will maybe get hurt or being trampled by some people when walking who never looks on the floor.A child safety should be more important then her zara's bag.Money cant buy kinship. Maybe when the child is doing this kind of action, it wanna seek the parent attention maybe because they had not showed them anough love or care.So I hope those parent would give them freedom and let them do the things they want. Study is not really very important but attitude is what everyone is seeing .
I think the new genaration of parents now a days dun give the love to their children the way our parents give the love to us.They more attention to what they are doing then to their lovely children.The way they look after them when the children are brought out.I think they don't control them that much the way our parents control us.I can see hw they Really Behave when my parents and i go out.somtimesmy parents will tell me not to behave like that in the public and the crowd is watching and other stuff.I really will agree to what my parents are saying as i for onething really don't want to get embarresd in public thats all i have for this comment see you again Ms tang in the next comment
its very extremly wrong of the mother to let her child rolling to the ground. Parents are suppose to care for their child`s well being instead of a stupid zara bag. They were in a shop where more forigners would be passing by, what would they think about us ( Singaporeans). The mother has a very bad heart. She was caring the baby for more than 9 months, with all her heart and soul she delivered the baby, and now she just let the child be. What kind of mother is she. If now accidently the child falls and breaks her head or mouth, who should the mother blame. She is suh a disgrace. I really pity the child to have such an irresponsible mother
I think the mother did the correct thing, ignoring the child who is desperately seeking for attention. She should do that more often so that the girl will learn that these silly actions are of no use.
She may be learning it the hard way but it is very effective. If the mother ever paid attention to her when she was rolling on the floor, the girl will coninue to do this in the future because she has learnt that this "method" works.
By not paying attention to the girl, she will realise that her mother is not "buying" her trick.
"A country who cannot even maintain a good upbringing and proper education for children?" I saw this myself. In Germany, a little boy shouted, "You stupid piece of shit" at his father and he simply ignored the boy without scolding or punishing him.
It's killing two birds with one stone. Teaching her daughter a good lesson and not missing out the good sales Zara has.
What did STOMPer Maria mentioned it, is really true and to me, I really don't understand to some certain Moms ignoring their child and really engrossed to their own work.
But then,I understand to some Moms cause some of them are Workaholics or even a sole bread winner to their family, but then,when i read this article, it is really too much for the kids and also Moms,to act in this kind of manner.
So what i think about this kind of act from the kids,is that maybe their parents didn't taught them well about the importance of what's right and wrong,cause mostly these days,some parents didn't care about their kids that much.
So what I think is that,parents should listen to their kids' problem or story and don't interrupt them cause it'll lead to some misunderstandings. So after their kids explain everything, then talked to them your opinions nicely.
I agreed with the STOMPER Maria.I was really disgusted from the way the mother was ignoring the child.The child didn't have had a strict upbringing. Maybe the child was trying to attract the mother's attention just to get what she want. Occasionally,parents think that children often do these kinds of tricks just to attract their attention. So,probably all they had to do is to ignore until the children felt bored and were tired to do the same "tricks" anymore.
But,according to the article, I am really anxious about the child.What "if" the child does something that is not good, something bad might happen to her and later,who's in deep trouble? Of course,the child and her mother, who did not take care of the child.If any foreigners would ever come to this country and saw this (the picture from the article), they might think that 'parents had no disciplines and moral values towards their children'. From my point of view', 'I think' some Singaporeans did not care about anything, they are engrossed in their own things(no offense) and look at the article, does anybody advises the mother or tell the mother that it's not good to leave a child like that.Is this the way to treat a child? In another words, she seems to care about herself than the child. Why must she had a child even though the child is being a sploit-brat? Isn't it hard to discipline the child?then,she don't deserve to have a child.
I agreed with STOMPer Maria.
Parents nowdays, don't really pay attention to their own children. This article is an exmaple. As parents, we should know that we have our own responsibility to bring them up, in a good manner. Parents should have teach them to be discipline at the young age so that the children should know what is right and what is wrong. Leaving your child, rolling on the floor at a public place, is such a shame. This will really reflect bad on her parents and also her upbringing.Maybe the child is seeking for attention, but at least, the mother will have to stop her from behaving like this. Her child is much more important than her Zara's bag. You can buy the bag anytime you want, but if your child behaves rudely infront of people, the parents must really stop them. Foreigners will also have a bad impression on us because Singapore, is considered a "well-mannered" country. They will thought that, Singaporeans's mom and dad did not bother about their own child, and they only care about their own jobs or life. In my point of view, they really should take care of their own childrens to be discipline and also to be well-mannered.
Frankly, I felt extremely irritated after reading the article as I thought that which mother, a supposingly loving, caring and a mother that should teach their child not to do these things in public would even not care about the child as they do things in public. Yes, kids that age might not be as mature as teenagers to know that we should not do these things like rolling on the floor in public as they are still young and might not know much. Which is why it is up to their mothers to teach them from a child not to do silly things. Maybe some people might say rolling on the floor might not be a big deal, then what if they grow up thinking they can do anything they want because their so loving mother allowed them to do things and they start shouting or stealing?! Thinking that they can do anything because the mother did not teach them since young. And also what would others think of the child and the mother. Other foreigner might come to visit Singapore and if that was what they see then their first impression of Singpore would go down the drain, thinking that the mothers do not know how to look after their child. And I also think that no mother should ever say that they have so many children that they do so many silly things that the mother slowly start getting use to it as not caring about it anymore, if a mother ever thinks about that then she is not fit to be a mother! What if the child starts stealing and sleeping around with guys or doing other things would the mother say she is used to it and not care and let the child become a wild child? I might sound as if I am exaggerating but in this world, with so many bad companys, a child has to at least grow up in a good culture and it also starts with their family. And everything also start small. Frankly I pity the child.
Now parent dun realli care about his/her own child because only know how to work for money and through that their child will be lvling more happy...but its was wrong..They should needed care from parent n her parent dun really care about her.And so she use this kind of method to make her parent attention but her parent didnt bother..so as will don't give birth at 1st...
I think that the parent should be more concered about her child's welfare than being concerned about other things . The parent should make her child to stand up not only for not being disgraceful in public , but also to prevent the child from getting injured . If i were there , i will not be putting the shame on the child but on the parent .
I do not fully agree with the report said that the mother is ignorant of her child. It is unfair to pass judgement based on just one photo. We should first try to understand why the girl was lying on the floor in order to pass more comments on this behavior. Maybe the child was just unhappy about her mother not buy anything for her or throwing her tantrums. Or, maybe her mother had just admonished her already but she does not want to listen so she rolls on the floor.
I do not think that the mother should be bearing all the blame as the girl is big enough to know she should not behave as such in public. She wants to get the mother's attention.
As for the concern about giving foreigners a bad impression, I don’t think that is a big problem. I have actually seen worse behavior with expatriates and their kids. It is unfair to criticize only Singaporeans.
I don't think the child's mother care about her.No mother should be like that,ignoring her child rolling on the floor like that.She could have just asked her to stop doing it,or even if the mother beat the child,it still shows that she cares about her.But she had no shame about it,her own child rolling on the floor and she continued to pay no attention and was more anxious to pay for her bag than paying attention to her child.Did she even want the child in the first place?What if she got hurt or got cut my some sharp edges at the chair near she was rolling... If all parents in Singapore is like this,I bet more children would be doing foolish things when they grow up.
I think the parent is wrong.She should not do this beacuse if she giv birth to her,she should teach and care for her and not letting her to roll like that.The child may be kinnap be others or bully.If her child is kinnap she would be responable for this.From what the article says, I think she would not care about her if her child is kiinap.In my view i think parents should take care of us when we are small.If there are such parents in this country i think his or her child will be sad when he or her grow up.
