I went to an event and it was just a few people. I have a 2 year old and we are going through the tantrum stage and crying when he can't do something.
I took something off him and that caused a small meltdown. It was just before nap time so I was getting my pram packed to go home and was looking at him but knew that we just had to go. I would take a minute or two and was right next to him. She comes and takes him and put him on her lap, doesn't ask, and then starts to mock kiss him saying "everything is ok".
I instantly get him and put him in the pram, of which is a struggle because tired toddler = only one solution.
I put the pram down flat and get him as settled as properly whilst saying Im going, and she continues to get right in his face and mock kiss. I really don't know if she will kiss him but really I wouldn't get that close to someone's kid who isn't a relative/I'm not good friends with. It was close enough for me to put my hand there to make sure.
Aibu? She has a kid the same age. I don't really want adults putting my child on their lap either, unless family or paid care. J
Just to be clear I was comforting him as much a si could but you know your child and what's best in the situation. I was also flustered and the event was winding downn so not disturbing anyone.
