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

    And that would be the kind of parent I try to be - fail many times, but sometimes I totally get it right!

    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.

    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.

    I love how the "baby sitter" transformed to a Mom. It's like a Superhero emerged and saved the world! :)

    So her 'teachable moment' about not shaming people was to shame her 7 year old child in front of strangers on a subway? Got it.

    No, it's called "parenting" and "life lessons."

    I suppose she should have just let her kid get away with it and said nothing. So he could grow up to be a turd. Yeah, that's the way it should have gone. Great idea!

    I too, loved this story---thanks for sharing, and I give alot of credit to your friend for being graceful in this situation. As for the young mother, it's hard to be a good parent, and turning a negative into a positive experience for all is difficult. Would love to have your friend on here--tell her that. :)
