they could at least be brave enough to speak to said child's parents?
Went to Bibic fun day today. Now the reason we were invited is that DD is not NT. Presumably the same applied to most of the other children there but there was a group of laydees doing a zumba presentation and the mum was in that.
DD was playing with another little girl on a slide and suddenly said "I'm not evil mummy am I?". Asked her who'd called her that and she indicated a couple plus grandma with toddler. As they passed us one of them muttered "the one with face painting", which described my DD.
All day she was only out of my sight for the few seconds it took me to catch up when she first went on the slide, and I did haul her off a baby rocker. I can't see she could have done anything that would qualify as evil. She is 4, not 14.
Even so, if you are having a Passive-Aggressive dig at a very small child would it not make sense to actually tell the parent what they are supposed to have done? Had I not been on my own, and been surer of my facts I'd have asked them why they were being so spiteful but as it was I gathered her up and we left just after. The shine had been taken off the day. And we left her (new) Lola hat behind, so I'm rather wishing we hadn't bothered and I'd taken her to the beach instead :(

to think that if the parents of a PFB toddler want to label a 4 year old stranger "evil"
