Went to my local wacky yesterday and this happened to my 2 year old! I went to the mother of the other child, very unapologetic, I think she was more bothered about the fact I was interrupting her and her friends. I later mentioned what happened to a friend of mine and it turns out she knew the other mother and she has posted on FB about the funny incident of her child hurting another. I know kids will fight but he had my child pinned to the floor doing this and that Bitch thought it was hilarious!

Well she sounds charming. I hope he's recovered from the event.

PsychoPumpkin · 02/08/2017 14:06

What's a wacky?

Sorry your son got hurt, he's beautiful by the way Smile

namechange20050 · 02/08/2017 14:07

Oh god that's awful. Poor little chap. Is he ok? The mother sounds awful.

kaytee87 · 02/08/2017 14:08

What's a wacky? How old was the other child?

Sorry your ds was hurt Flowers. Very cute btw Smile

Sarahmariefoster · 02/08/2017 14:08

Poor thing I hope that he gets better soon he is one beautiful baby

kaytee87 · 02/08/2017 14:10

Also the mother sounds awful. My 1yo ds has a tendency to touch other babies faces and sometimes is too rough. I'm always mortified even though he's never actually hurt another baby.

He's perfectly fine now thanks Smile but it's just the fact she would post about how funny it was. I know I'm just winding myself up but it just amazes me what some people are like!

I'd be tempted to get friend to post that picture underneath and say 'oh yes very funny isn't it Hmm'
I'm childish though Grin

Sarahmariefoster · 02/08/2017 14:13

He won't

Bunnyhipsdontliegrl · 02/08/2017 14:14

The hard lesson I have learned from any playgroup/ soft play I went to is that there will amost always be THAT parent who, for whatever reason, doesn't think that it's their job to stop John-Snowflake or Mary-Precious from breaking someone's skull. They won't change and it is enraging but in those cases I just stay very close and stop the child myself. Your poor little lad (you are probably more traumatized than him though)

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 02/08/2017 14:14

Poor boy!
Sad Some parents really couldn't care less what their little darlings do.

Guessing Wacky Warehouse, (softplay, slides etc).

Bunnyhipsdontliegrl · 02/08/2017 14:15

And yes, he is ridiculously cute!

PyongyangKipperbang · 02/08/2017 14:17

I would want to post on her thread too.

"Disgusted that you found it so funny, my son didnt find it hilarious when your child inflicted these injuries on him."

ConstanceCraving · 02/08/2017 14:19

Wacky = soft play?

Your DS is gorgeous! His poor face though.

annielouise · 02/08/2017 14:20

I'd have to too. Horrible parent that she is.
Any normal person would be mortified if their kid did this to another.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/08/2017 14:20

Love brown eyes and fair hair . . .

As you say OP - not many people would consider it a laughing matter, and I wonder if she would have been chortling if another child had scratched and hurt her little bugger darling boy like that.

I would bet my ovaries that she wouldn't.

BitOutOfPractice · 02/08/2017 14:21

YOu think these type of shithead parents don't exist dont you? Then you come across one...

I was tempted to actually start a fb account and contact her but I hate it so much I couldn't being myself to 😂😂

For those asking, I'm assuming Wacky means a Wacky Warehouse.
Which is a soft play chain in the UK. Smile
The other mum sounds horrible if she was making a joke of it on FB. Sad

ShesABloodyLoon · 02/08/2017 14:25

Ask your friend to post that pic to her comments and say, "Yeah, cracking job there. Got him good."

Yes sorry it was the wacky warehouse. I've never had a problem there before and it was a shock. I would have been mortified if Tate had done it to him!

unfortunately par for the course at softplays... we are exposing our normal children to tougher more violent children and there will always be a scratcher/ biter or general thug with non interested or if you're really unlucky, aggressive parent. this is what you sign up for when entering these places.

quickname · 02/08/2017 14:31

and re the fb commentary. yes it's annoying but that's the mentality of type of person you may unfortunately meet at a soft play... fortunately soft play years do not last forever Grin

youarenotkiddingme · 02/08/2017 14:31

Omg your ds is gorgeous Grin

I'd also get your friend to post the pictures saying "you're right - you son did have a great fight. Looks like he won too".

I actually feel more sorry for the other kid. Yours is hurt but his scratches will heal. This kid is likely to have a whole childhood of being raised by a twatty mother who cares more about her friends than raising him.

Also immediately wondered if this is my local wacky? (In P?)

WhoreOfBabyliss · 02/08/2017 14:47

Your boy is so lovely OP. Those eyes! You'll be beating them off with a shitty stick when he's older!
