My office has a woman called Debbie 60s who always gives out dated, judgmental, and awful parenting advice. It’s never asked for and she just butts in conversation.

It stopped for awhile when her son was all over the news for being arrested for something horrible. She took some time off work to deal with the trauma but it’s still lingering on and still occasionally in the news about the trial.

A new coworker was discussing an issue her elementary age child was having and Debbie was telling the parent her kid should tough it out.

It was out of my mouth so fast “is that what you tell your son when he goes to prison for the rest of his life? Just tough it out?”

Debbie started crying and has been off work since then because he has intermittent FMLA. My manager told me to cool it abd HR and I had brief conversation but my work bestie thinks I went to far in telling Debbie off.
