DS (18 mo) was at library singing thing and was playing in a sit on train that attaches top bookcase. There was another child thee, of similar age prob slightly older (about 2).
He kicked ds twice hard in a row and as i said to him "Please don't kick" he did it again harder so I finished "it isnt friendly" (in a cherry voice not cross or very loud) as i tried to extract ds from seat, ds was at this point crying and he is a child who takes a few knocks no fuss as he has an older sister and plays at todddlers etc.
I did then manage to pick ds out of train, other mother who had her back turned picking books through this came over said something that i couldnt catch over ds crying then turned baxck to books, then turned back and said to me "Don't say that to him" complete with withering look.
I was she didnt say anything to her boy at all. I think that he must do it often as otherwise why would she immediately assume i was talking to him and not my ds? her child wasnt upset by what i said at all (he kept on trying to kick).
I didnt say anything but was bit pissed off tbh, surely if she doesnt want anyone to ever reproach her child she should be standing there watching him?

AIBU?
to think that if your toddler repeatedly kicks another child and is asked to please stop that you shouldnt get cross at other mum?
