Wondering if I was a bit pfb (despite not DS not being pfb)
DS (3) and I were waiting for the nursery doors to open when DS joined in the kids running around. Noticed another little boy doing karate type, punching moves near other kids. DS goes to him, looks a bit puzzled and did two copycat moves. Not physically touching. Then other kid actually starts making contact with DS so I called out... Hey you two, stop that.
DS turns and runs to me crying. DS is not a crier and only does it if he's actually hurt, so I knew the other kid punched him.
Dad just stood there. Didn't say anything to his kid who'd run off again. DS sobbing on my shoulder, so I said to him, you really need to say something because he's actually hurt DS.
Dad says 'they we fighting, (they weren't) and boys will be boys (wtaf) but called his kid over and nicely told him to say sorry, and be friends, so the kid hugged DS, said sorry and they held hands to go into nursery. Dad was fine about it.
I said thank you to boy and dad.
I know the boy was just playing and didn't mean any harm, and the dad really didn't think it was a big deal so ignored it. So was I being U to call him on it or should I have just ignored it all as there was no real nastiness involved?
