I went to my child’s nursery nativity today and there was a mum there, When the show ended the children were allowed to go and see there parents for a bit before going back into nursery, this woman laid her child on the floor and straddled her, tickling and kissing her, and then threw her up in the air laid on her own back and put the child on top of her hugging her and tickling again, she did the same thing at a birthday party a few months ago too, is it just me or is straddling / sitting on top of a 3 year old weird as hell. I don’t know something about it just seemed off. It was busy so I don’t know if any nursery staff saw it, but if I worked at a nursery I would find that quite concerning.
I know there will be people who say I should mind my own business and I am, I didn’t say a word but it’s niggling me. I’m not against hugging or tickling that’s fine, I hug and tickle my own children, but sitting on top of the child is the part I find bizarre, if nothing else the weight of a full grown woman on a child is surely painful
