to put a child in a swing to sleep

[littlediamond33]

We were at a soft play centre today.A little boy aged aprox 18mnths-2yrs nodded off on his mums shoulder.She put him in the swing and went and had a coffee.She could see him from where she was but none of the other children could use the swing! aibu to think this is weird and selfish?

Really? That's very, very weird. Why wouldn't you put him in buggy, or just go home...

A play swing? Or one of those baby rocking swings for getting babies to sleep?

no a swing like you get in a play ground.

Perhaps it was her 5 mins of peace in a colic ridden existence?
