What's harder is knowing what to do when a parent's treatment of a child is not illegal, but is still not right.
For instance, for those of you with kids, think back to your first Christmas as a parent. You probably went a little nuts, right? I know I did. My son wasn't even five months old, but I was so excited about being a mom and about having an excuse to shower gifts and love upon my new little man, that I went a bit overboard. I've toned it down some since that first Christmas and birthday, but I still get a big thrill out of shopping for and wrapping my little prince's presents. Sometimes I get him something for no reason, or just pick him up from school early to go to a movie or play in the park, just because I enjoy showing him love.
