This is more WWUD as I’m hurt by comments, but really didn’t know how to react or what to say - other than sorry!
Son is 2. We go weekly and although i had baby 3 weeks ago, I’ve kept to it because I don’t want to change even more of his routine - new baby has been a big enough change and I’ve had to temporarily stop some of his other classes etc.
Anyway, I had stitches after labour So I didn’t go inside the playarea as I’m still quite uncomfortable and stayed with pram in the viewing area to feed baby.
Son is very big for his age, wearing age 4/5 etc. For that reason He doesn’t stay in the under 5 area but is happy to go into the main section (upto age 8), often on his own.
Admittedly he’s very boisterous but ridiculously friendly - he will talk and play with anyone.
he made friends in the main area with a boy, similar aged, maybe 2-3, and they were happily racing down the slides together. Then I heard the other boy cry because my son went down a slide after him and he hadn’t moved from bottom.
Other mum went in and comforted her son and told my son to be more careful.
They carry on playing but a little while later, other boy is crying again and his mum goes in and brings her son out.
She comes over to me and says ‘that’s the second time your son has pushed him over. He really should know better at his age. I’m taking him home.”
I apologised but added he was only 2 and I’m sure he hadn’t pushed him over on purpose.
The mum replied, well he looks older and is too boisterous, you should be in there with him.
I explained I was feeding my newborn, apologised again and they left.
My son tried to say goodbye and other mum pulled her kid away and said ‘I don’t want you playing with him’
My son sadly asked where his friend had gone and I said it was time we went too.
Then I cried in my car.
Less than a month since baby so I’m a hormonal mess so maybe I am BU to be so hurt by her comments, after all her son was upset.
How would you react if your child was unintentionally hurt by another kid?
WWUD if your child accidentally hurt someone?
Feeling upset, judged and failing!
