I've had a couple of playdates with a woman I met on a parenting forum a while ago. She's got a 3 year old DS and Ive got a 22 month old DD. She's very keen on having playdates as shes on maternity leave after having her DS2 though i work 3 days so its a bit harder for me.
During the past 2 playdates we've had, her DS has physically hurt my DD. The first time we had a play date he hurt her by whacking her across the head and then he approached her with a toy hammer and tried to hit her across the head with it (whilst she was in my lap), I managed to intercept and say loudly 'No thank you'. His mother just sighs and says his name.
The same playdate he growled at her and snatched every toy off her. The 2nd play date, he grabbed her by her hood and pulled her over and then when briefly told off by his mother (I noted she mock hit him) who then asked him to say sorry and he refused- which she accepted. He did it again saying 'I was taking her to play!!' which his mum said 'thats ok then'.
We've met in a park a few times, which he spends generally screaming and running off. I do understand that this is what 2 year olds do and I've got no experience of them as Im not there yet though my DD is starting to become more more active and does test me more so nowadays. I do feel slightly uncomfortable as I feel like I have to defend DD from him.
AIBU and a bit PFB or am I right to cancel the next play date? (I should add I have very recently lost my DF very suddenly and might be a bit more protective of DD than usual)
