Please control your child lady!

I don't know if it is because I am about to be a parent or if I am just less tolerant than I used to be, but I am noticing how some parents just let their kids do whatever. I was in the doctors office earlier this week. I had a fever, a runny nose, and a terrible cough (turns out I had the flu). Anyway, this women came in with her little daughter. She was probably 3 or 4 years old. The little girl started talking to me. I was trying to be polite, but I felt awful. I just wanted to be left alone. She came and sat by me. She took over the magazine I was looking at. She started digging in my purse. The whole time I was hoping the mom would say something to her, but she didn't. When I moved my purse to the other side of me, the little girl started crawling on me. No joke, right on top of me. Here I am, 7 and a half months pregnant, sick as a dog, in the doctor's office, and this little girl is using me as a jungle gym. Her mother never said a word to her. I would have thought that a mother would not want her kid that close to a stranger, much less a sick stranger. I was ready to yell at the mom. I was so relieved when the nurse called my name. I would have hated to be rude, but the situation was sending me to my boiling point. So to all you moms out there, don't let your kids bug sick strangers.
