Just had ds's birthday party, he's 7, and this one boy started to scratch the arm of my leather settee. Not just a tiny scratch, but he was writing in HUGE letters using his thumb to scratch the leather. His mum started giggling and said to him, oh what are you drawing, that's nice... so after I'd picked my jaw back up off the ground I told her son not to write on my settee. I then got a cloth and started to wipe away the marks as best I could, and being polite told her it'd probably come off as my own son had scratched it in the past and I'd managed to get the marks off. She then said oh well he probably only did it because he's got it from your son. I was gobsmacked! Not only did she encourage her son to mark my settee, but she then blamed MY son for her son doing it!
Shortly after, her son started play fighting with her, and she allowed her son to really pull her hair really hard and to ikick her. She didn't ask him to stop or tell him off, she just let him and laughed as he was doing so. I think this woman is weird.
