I wonder what'll happen one day - when the mother noted in your post (who doesn't give a f!) meets another mother who practices the same attitude.

It will happen. Only a matter of time.

Even in the worst situations I respond in ways I'd appreciate other's responding to me. (Ya, ya - the ol what goes around clichè lol)

I bow in gratitude to every soul who practice their social graces by balancing compassion with a firm don't F! with me energy.
