I took my 3 lo's to cheeky chimpz play zone last night,with my friend and her lo's.They all played lovely.Then a little girl about 2yrs bite my ds 20mths on his mouth.You could see a full set of teeth marks on ds top lip,he still has the marks this morning.The little girls mom saw this happen and i also told her.She didn't say a thing,but i noticed she followed her around alnight.She also grabed another lo's ear and gave a good pull and again the mom said nothing.Why do some people find sorry so hard to say.

Same thing happened to my DS a few weeks ago but the parents were sitting in the garden outside. I couldn't tell which of the three or four families outside the child belonged to so I couldn't mention it to them. During the remaining 45 minutes we were there, they did not once come in to check their child (aged about 2). DS had bite marks on his arm for two days.

She should have apologized. When children are very small they need to be closely watched at play ... not just for the bad things they do but the good things as well.
Most children go through a violent phase ... but left unchecked, the phase could develop into a more permanent pattern of behaviour.

I've just come back froma holiday with "friends" whose child hurt DD1 on quite a few occasions (he even stood on her head at ohne point!!)and she ignored it every time. The child was careful not to do anything when his father was around though as he did discipline him.

my brother's dd (26 months) is the same she is very rough and tumble with my 6yr old and our 22month old while the 6yr old can take it, he should not have to, our 22month old cant and is often is tears because of nieces hairpulling and kicking if my brother or his gf dont say anything to the child (90% of the time they dont) then i step up and tell her that's it's naughty and that it hurts and to say sorry obv you cant do that with a stranger's child in that circumstance i would diffently say something to the parent
