Not quite sure how she was supposed to ignore her offspring.
I would not have regarded it as disrespect no matter my rank.
She should’ve put her hands on his shoulders and turned him around and told him sternly but lovingly in his ear he had to go back and wait until mommy is allowed to leave. Simple as that. This would’ve given the kid a good lesson in patience and ABIDING BY RULES, too.
The joy on the little guys face made my screen blurry. I am certain daddy did all he could to restrain the kid, but sometimes a little guy just has to have a mommy snuggle!
