This woman's Facebook post on her parenting fails has gone viral. What do you think?

The post got a lot of comments and has been shared more than 11,000 times.



The woman is Jennifer Campbell, in her facebook post, she recalled when she was breastfeeding her newborn while her older kids played in their gated backyard. "I didn't even have time to cover myself before a woman came around the corner, a look of fury on her face and my two year old on her hip," she said. "She started yelling the second she saw me.”Do you know where I just found your child?”
The woman had found her son out on a busy road where he could have been hit by a car. Jennifer wrote that in the aftermath of the incident, "I cried of course. It makes you sick to think that something serious could happen to your child, especially in your care. It's called an accident. And despite an accident being an accident, mothers will still blame themselves for it and carry the guilt for life."
She also recalled several other accidents involving her other children. Well, Jennifer’s point is that "accidents happen, and people need love and compassion when these situations occur, not lectures and blame. ... Be kind, gentle, and compassionate in your thoughts and conversations about this. We are all just perfectly imperfect humans, trying our best out here."
Many commenters responded by telling Campbell how grateful they are for her frankness.
