Is this acceptable?
We had an awful incident in the park today. My daughter (who is only 2 and a half!!!) was playing and this boy the same age came into the tunnel. I heard her scream I want to get out and then the other mum came over and was like shouting and saying that it isn’t kind and that you have to share and what a horrible child etc. I thought she was speaking to her own child but when I went in and said please can you move over and let her out the mum was like your child can’t behave like that and then I realised she was talking to my daughter and telling her off! She claimed that my daughter had kicked her son, I didn’t see this or believe that it happened as I was watching and her son didn’t look upset or flinch at all. I do know she isn’t an angel and doesn’t always like to share, she’s learning, she’s 2 and a half!
I asked her politely not to talk to my child like that and she went mental saying that the world doesn’t revolve around her, of course I think she’s perfect and I’m raising an awful human being and not fit to be a parent. She was also imitating my little girl. I was with two friends, one who is male, who stepped in and said it wasn’t acceptable and that the women absolutely should not be talking to a 2 year old like that as well as to me. She then started saying that it wasn’t okay for a man to be arguing with her and he was a waste etc. I know it shouldn’t bother me because she was just an absolute idiot but it’s really affected me and I’ve cried a lot about it. I just wondered what other people’s thoughts were?
Worst of all my little girl keeps asking why the lady was shouting and saying she’s scared to go out in case she sees that lady.
Nervous about leaving him
Hey, my LO will be 8 weeks this Sunday, im going on a hen do tomorrow and im absolutely terrified - i really dont want to miss it as it’s my sisters hen do and im the MOH so id be devastated. But im really nervous about leaving my baby with his dad.
Dad is great with baby, he has him a lot through the day, does feeds, nappies, playtime etc. he works from home so they do get a lot of time with each other but not like he does with me so he doesnt settle well with him. He still comes to me for comfort. I know this is normal, but how am i supposed to leave them tomorrow, i feel absolutely terrible, does it pass? Any advice?
