I would have taken the time out too. I'm surprised this is even an issue considering all she had to deal with. The rudeness was uncalled for though...í ½í¸•
I so agree with what you said and I'm the same way about my No: respect it. I also wondered about the "wait until they're unconscious" part...how is that even ok? How is that any different than forcing them when they're awake? How is it any different...
