Re: Just two more aisles . . .
True.
Though she was at the peak of her tolerance limit, Instead of venting out her frustration on the child she kept convincing herself that it would be over soon. By saying,…few more aisles (minutes)…few more aisles …she tried to extend her tolerance limit.
I have seen parents who feel too embarrassed when they become the centre of attention due to the disturbance caused by their child (in the whole shopping centre) so in response they let out their anger at the child who is too little to immediately understand how s/he should behave, so that aggression might cause a negative impact on him/her.
Even in case of husband wife relationship if the person adopts such attitude, it might solve a lot of problems. (but ofcourse without compromising on principles)
p.s. It is more useful to teach the child manners later in home while siting face to face and having a cool mind, instead of teaching him in public (at the peak of ones frustration limit)
Be hard on yourself and soft on others. Rumi
