Took my dd to a soft play area today.
Theres a tunnel and you crawl through into a small cube and then climb up and go down a slide. (I think adults can fit but I'm a tad claustrophobic.)
Let dd crawl through the tunnel and I was waiting at the other end, as she was playing peek a boo through the hole.
Had a random small child sit next to me and start talking to me, he was probably about 3. He asked me to lift him up the ladder so he could go down the slide.
Now this is totally stupid but I said, you have to go and ask your mummy or daddy sweetheart, and got up and left.
I would have gladly spoken to the little boy and helped him up, but as I was an adult standing by myself in the play area I had a horrible feeling I would get into trouble for talking to and then lifting the child.
My friend who I was with was having a coffee at the time and completely agreed with me.
And I being silly and unreasonable? Or is it sadly common in these days to worry about your every move to do with children?
