I was on the city bus returning home from a girls softball tournament this afternoon when something happened that would have fit quite neatly in a Povich or Springer show:
A man and woman board the bus with the mother carrying a little boy of about 1 year of age. She puts him very harshly on the seat and he starts crying. The man asks, 'why did you do that to the baby?' Then she walks away and sits away from both. The man follows her and again asks why she did that to the child and also asks, "why do you have to cause a scene in public, why is it that I just cannot communicate with you?" A woman with a four or five year old girl sees this and quickly moves to a different part of the bus. All throughout the ride the man continually tries to speak with the woman and all she does is say nothing despite the baby's tears. The man finally settles down the child but the woman shows no remorse for what she did.
They finally get off the bus in down town and you can still see that the woman wants no part of the man or of her own child.
It sure as heck wasn't a pleasant scene. Hate to speculate as to what will happen next. But if someone clearly has no interest in her husband or her own baby, it's a good bet she, like other women, will abandon both. Let's hope she will repent of her misconduct and do the right thing next time ...
