Plus, I should have said how nicely she was talking to him. He wasn't being told off at all. She was explaining something very important and deep with a sweet voice, words he could understand and concepts he could relate to.

Actually that's exactly what the mother said when she told him that taking good care of loved ones is enough.
I try to lure my friend into MFP but she wants to improve her English skills first.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this story! Way full of win. That mother not only taught her son a lesson on the subway, but turned a hurtful situation into something lovely (even if your friend was still probably mortified). :flowerforyou:0

(even if your friend was still probably mortified). :flowerforyou:
My friend was mortified at first. But, of course, we discussed what happened at length afterwards and she told me how good it felt to be acknowledged as a whole person. She had to hear the rude comment but it didn't go unnoticed. No awkward silence. The worst, she told me was when people pretend not to hear or shush the kid and move on.
I used to be fat(ter) but never had to go through this. I can only imagine how awful that would be.

What an awesome mother who took the time to teach her child instead of shush him! Thank you for sharing!0

Nice to see a parent actually do their job!0
-
And that would be the kind of parent I try to be - fail many times, but sometimes I totally get it right!0

Wow! I actually teared up reading that. So powerful. Thank you for sharing! Kudos to that Mom for teaching her son a very valuable lesson.0

wow, that is what Moms should be like. My parents treated fat people so bad, me included. I have heavy friends, I could care less, it is their business, I like their character. My Dad is in a care center now, I bet he doesn't care how big his Nurse is, he is glad she is helping him. Same with my Mom, they hated fat people and talked terribly about them. A lot of people out there are like that, glad she straightened her son out on this matter.0

This brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing, it helped to restore my faith in humanity today.
