Why you gotta be so rude?

Question

I have 3 kids - 9, 5, and almost 2 years old. Pag lumalabas kami I usually ask my 2 eldest kids to choose kung anong gusto nila - sa food or sa things they need. Yesterday we went to a bookstore to buy their supplies for this school year. My 5 year old was having a hard time choosing her notebook. I told her na bilisan na kasi may naghihintay na. Then suddenly nagsalita yung girl na Ang tagal naman! Girl, why you gotta be so rude? Pwede ka naman magsabi if you are in a hurry di ba? Sensitive lang ba ko mga mommies? Kasi ako kung kailangan ko na talaga mauna nagpapaalam naman ako ng maayos. I know we cannot expect the same thing sa ibang tao, pero at least huwag maging rude na magpaparinig pa. Kayo po ba? Ano po ang masasabi niyo? #backtoschool #dontberude #respectbegetsrespect #respect #momsonmoms

Hindi ka sensitive, mama, that was rude talaga at meron kang right na maramdaman yan! A few of us moms talk about this din, kung paano ang impatience ng iba ay pagsasabing "Ang tagal naman!" instead of just waiting quietly or kung talagang rush, asking politely like you said. Your daughter was taking her time choosing her own notebook, which is such a sweet thing na pinapayagan mo siya na mag-decide, and that girl could've just waited without the commentary. You handled it perfectly by modeling good manners to your kids, and honestly, that's what matters, na nakita nila how you treat people with respect even when others aren't doing the same.
