Watching DS1 when an older kid from his school starts escorting him across the park. DS2 and I go after him, to find the kid's mother has asked for DS1 as she wants to kick his football into a tree to knock down her son's ball.
She didn't like it when I stopped them and pointed out that it was quite likely that our football would also get stuck in the tree.
AIBU to think that taking advantage of a five-year-old is not ok? Particularly as he was likely to lose his own ball?
