To have asked a 4 year old and 2 year old to let me sit down in the Doctors pharmacy?

[CandyLoo]

At a small, tightly packed, busy pharmacy opposite Doctors surgery.
3 chairs (barely any standing room).
A lady, and the 2 children taking up the 3 chairs.
2 children not ill, in there with their Mum collecting a prescription.
No free chairs, I asked if I could sit in one of the chairs.
Mum moved one of her children, the other moved to stand with her sister.
Mutterings from the lady next to me, and when she left, said rather pointedly to the child, 'Here you are love, sit in my seat'. They left soon after.
By this stage, the pharmacy was very busy, I have no qualms giving up my seat to anyone older than me or simply if anyone needs it.
AIBU? The lady sitting next to me obviously thought I was, rude comments about me to her husband when she was outside.

As a healthy woman in her 30s, if I was sitting and a parent with young (pre-school aged) kids came along, I would stand and offer them my seat.

Me too bleeping.

So would I bleeping

From OP:

I have posted my final thoughts on this debate here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/1608818-OPs-final-thoughts-on-the-Should-I-have-asked-children-to-stand-in-the-Doctors-Pharmacy-debate

Grown women would offer their seats to young children?

I'm sorry but I don't believe anybody wold do that.

Why didn't you post your thoughts on the thread on the thread? Why start a new one?

Why wouldn't they? I am more than capable of standing, young children struggle and having them sat makes life easier for their parents.

Final thought? Are you jerry springer op?

This was not interesting enough for one thread, never mind two.

My children never wanted to sit down when they were that age. They didn't 'struggle' whatever that actually means.

Skang's final though: The OP is an attention seeker, both in the chemist and on mumsnet.

Feck it *thought

Arthur's final thought: take care of yourselves, and eachother.

Other thread has been deleted I believe.

My final thought, OP appears to be acting very strangely.

My final thought (since Iv'e posted enough on this thread) is we should all take into consideration everyone else whether adults or children is irrelevent and have a lovely christmas

DONTITMAKEYAFEELGUD?!

Oh thank God, I needed a different ear worm as I've been singing 'we don't have to take our clothes off..' all day.

I've read the whole thread yes really and I am wondering do we really expect a 2 year old to have good manners?
It was rude and a bit aggro of the OP to even ask them to move. Obviously a two year old is a toddler and even a four year old wouldn't be expected to jump up of their own accord.
My 8 year will offer a seat to an adult, but he's 8. I would offer a young child a seat on the tube / bus / waiting room because I have manners and consideration says me

I'm only repeating what other posters have said but I wasn't going to read through 29 pages and not post.
