This is a very minor aibu. This woman must live close to us, I see her walking down the road quite a lot.
Incident 1;
I had just had my DS and was BFing in a local cafe. She was there with her little daughter who is very cute but quite obviously totally spoiled. I have just sat down, starting to try and latch baby so I have one boob out, a crying newborn and am wrestling a coverup as well. Her DD comes right up close to me to the point where I could be BFing them both. She sat in my lap. Asks me why is your booby so red? I laughed and said loudly so the mum might intervene, I am trying to get the baby some food at the moment sweetheart, maybe you could give us some room? Then she's trying to cuddle the baby as I'm latching him, kissing his head, almost pulled him off at one point. I looked to the mum who had an inane smile on her face and she said "oh I am pregnant too so she is curious". She didn't ask the little girl to sit down at her table or move or give us a moment or anything. I sort of shifted in my chair and got DS on and then he was covered by the coverup so we had a bit of a chat about local hospitals. Then the little girl started crying about not seeing the baby and I said I'm sorry darling but he is having his milk. Child erupted and mum turned to absolute ice and just wouldn't talk to me again. Pulled daughter away and turned her back to me
Incident 2;
Walking along narrow street, i see her ahead of me, we both have buggies. A family ahead of me were walking and sort of tried to move in for her but not totally as it's a really narrow walk way. This woman refused to stop and the family then walked in the road to let her past and as she passed me (I pulled in to a garden path) she said "too right, hoe rude these people are not to let a buggy past" or similar. But they had let her pass
Incident 3;
Her eldest (the why is your booby so red one) is on the monkey bars. My son is also on the monkey bars. He waits while she has 3/4 turns and then goes to have his go. He's nervous to go anyway as he's scared of heights. She starts shouting that it's not his turn, he has to wait, he's not allowed on the monkey bars etc. Mum and this time Dad are stood there, again with inane looks on their faces smiling at the precious daughter. In absense of any input from them, I said to DS to just go and ignore her as he'd waited nicely, but he doesn't like doing that so tried to rationalise with her saying that she'd had plenty of goes and it was his turn now. After about 5 mins of this and her taking turn after turn, he just took his go. The little girl started screaming and crying actual tears that he wasn't allowed and how DARE he go when she was there first. I went to say to the mum, look be fair, she's had loads of turns and was telling him he wasn't allowed which isn't that nice, but Dad had bundled the child off in his arms and was halfway off across the playground comforting her. Mum gave me a cold stare and walked off.
Have I BU in any of these instances? Or this woman and her husband just entitled and rude? I am going to make sure to say something next time we have any interaction as I am sure this won't be the last time given how often I seem to see her.
