'fun' day at work today (shop, pre christmas type 'fun')
I was out and about in the shop and had some sweets
I was asking the parent's if the children would like a sweet-in uniform, very obviously worked there, not some random child catcher
most people said it's fine, 1 or 2 said no thank you, no problem, merry christmas and all that
one woman had a massive go at me sayig did I realise that children could have allergies, diabetes etc and offering children that I didn't know a sweet was totally inappropriate as I was encouraging them to talk to strangers
was I doing something wrong?
and I wasn't offering the sweet and then checking it was ok, I was asking the parent first
or was she just having a bad day?

AIBU?
to think asking a child's parent if that child can have a sweet is not the crime of the century?
