What would you have done?
I took my son to the toilet in a coffee shop and was standing propping the cubicle open whilst he went. This woman said I think my phones in there so I said ok my son’s just doing the toilet but he’ll be out in a minute. She tried to move me out of the way and open the door. I got so angry and said don’t you dare try and go in there whilst my son’s naked and doing the toilet! She seemed to think I was being over dramatic. Surely I’m not the only person who thinks that’s not ok?

That is not ok. Why would she even think that’s ok. Thats a child in a vulnerable position. Would she have tried that with an adult- no so why is a child any different
No, that's definitely not OK, but maybe you could have handled it better? She tried to get past you after you said he won't be long. Just say excuse me again , you can get it in a moment.
My son is only 4, though. i still go in cubicle with him and lock the door .... X
No that's not okay. If some mom was like wait until my kiddo is done, I'd absolutely be understanding. People are so damn weird.
I would have had the same reaction as you, but it wouldn’t have gotten that far because I would have just quickly grabbed the phone for her. She probably panicked her phone is in a stall with a child that could pick it up and drop it in the toilet.
Like Alyson said, she prob panicked. I do understand you and I appologise. I would be upset top. Anger just gets us nowhere in this world. You were there to protect him x
