Tonight after work the DH and I popped into our local to meet friends and catch up about the week.
We were laughing and joking when all of sudden a woman started shouting loudly "don't talk to your fucking mother like that" and "if I hear it again I will sort you out". I turned around and she was shouting at a boy no older than 5/6 cowering in his seat and she was in his face.
I was furious. Really furious.
Everyone in the pub stopped and stared but no one actually said anything. And neither did I.
Despite staring at her and wishing she would say something so I could have a quiet word.
I now recognise my behaviour was purely emotive, not necessarily helpful and could well have made the situation worse. But at the time I was so mad.
I now feel bad for the boy and am not sure I shouldn't have intervended.
So, AIBU to have kept my mouth shut as it was none of my business and I could have made the situation worse.
