Ok we both go to the library. I go with my 4yr old and read while the baby sleeps quite often.
Often another woman goes, also with a (beautiful) 9 month old, cheeky and lively tiny girl. The woman though reads adult books in the children's bit while the baby roams, because we are animated in our reading we attract the baby, out of mums line of sight. She pulls at my 4 yr old dd s clothing, tries to climb on my baby to wake her etc. I've asked a few times can we pick her up, I'm fine with her on my lap entertaining her. However mum doesn't want her "thinking going to strangers" is ok, so says no (well shouts a reply still out of sight from behind a play structure). We can't read with her grabbing the book, trying to use clothing to climb up plus I'm constantly moving my baby from reach (low tandem buggy). Or if my chunk of a 9 month old is awake and about I'm constantly trying to stop her happily squeezing the baby who I can't separate easily.
Now am I missing something? The baby can hang off my trousers out of sight but mum won't let us interact with the baby in a way that lets us read. At least if I entertained her also with the book we could enjoy our books together. Surely if you apparently don't want your child going to strangers you actually STOP them? Obviously my 4yr old is a highly distract able type who will not focus on anything but the baby she can't touch who is pulling at her jumper. the baby is lovely, but a real climber and persistent in attention seeking, very pretty too and mine want to play.
I know it's minor, but it's regular and she irritates me!
AIBU?
To be irritated by this woman with her baby in the library
