Giving Your Baby To Someone So You Can Join A Brawl At A Supermarket Is Simply Good Parenting

So this video has been going viral and people seem to be divided about it but I don't know why.

The most important thing I've learned as a parent is that you cannot let being a parent stop you from doing what you love. That could be hanging out with friends, going to the movies, or beating someone's ass in the Soft Drinks aisle. So much of your life changes after having kids that you must try to keep some sort of semblance of the old you.

Besides, what was this woman supposed to do with her baby? The first thing they teach you in Parent School is that your kid should never be used as a weapon. Just kidding, there is no Parent School. The hospital just discharges you after a couple of days and sends you home with a baby that doesn't have any instruction manual outside of all the awful baby books that have been written over the years. It's fucking WILD. But seriously, don't use your baby as a weapon. Barstool may have taken away my parenting podcast but I can still give parenting advice. 

Actually I suppose you could make a case that this woman could've started throwing haymakers while holding her baby in her other hand since no person would fight back at someone holding an infant while surrounded by camera phones since that'll get your ass instantly cancelled in 2023. So in this case, the mom would be using her baby as a moral shield. But that is a dirty move to pull in any fight, let alone a fight in Australia where I feel like they honor the code of fighting more than almost any other country. Which is why this mom deserves to be applauded for putting her baby first while also refusing to let motherhood change who she is in her soul.

Speaking of codes of honor, I would hope all the sodas that fell on the floor during this brouhaha were moved to the back of their respective shelves so the person who buys those bottles doesn't get doused in a carbonation explosion. Fighting at the supermarket is a no-no in my mind because I am a unit that considers it one of my happy places. But if you absolutely have to kick some rando's ass, please do so respectfully and avoid damaging any snacks along the way.

P.S. I guess this is where I seamlessly plug the frozen foods draft from this week's Dogwalk that I dominated.
