We were at a family paryt. Lots of children, bouncy castle etc. She had brought some her her DC's ride on toys along for everyone to play on.
Her two are 1 and 3.
My DS1 (who is 10) was riding on a scooter and as he went past her she barked at him 'get off that!', he thought she was joking (so did I) so he pulled a face and scooted off, she then turned to me and said, 'tell that little shit to get off DDs scooter before he breaks it'.
I coldly said, don't ever call my son a little shit again, the toys are there for the children to play with, he hasn't done anything wrong.
Yes, she said, the LITTLE children, not him.
I told DH and we went and told both our older two (DD is 9) to not play with the bikes and trikes.
I am FURIOUS. The worst thing is, I childmind both her DDs so my three children share ALL their toys with them.
DS is tiny, by the way, he weighs about 3.5 stone and is 135cm, it's not like he's a great hulking preteen like some of his peers. The scooter was a metal one, exactly the same as my DC have.
We had some issues on holiday last year where they scapegoated our DC over things their DD was doing. They let her run around in a restaurant and I asked DD to go and get her, she cried and my sister really shouted at my DD. I don't think she likes my children and she's made it quite obvious.
How on earth do I deal with this? I am actually shaking with rage as I type this. I know that as a parent of younger children, older ones can seem very big and very other, but this was awful.
