Bit of a weird one.
Went to pick up 2yo DS from nursery this afternoon. It was absolutely bucketing down, and all the kids (0-2s and 2-3s) were in the garden under the awning watching the rain.
There were two nursery nurses and about 6 kids- another staff member was pottering round inside tidying up.
One of the nursery nurses went inside to get the diary sheet, so I knelt by my DS on the fake grass, watching the rain while the other kids were milling around- a few who know “Sheeps Mummy” came up to say hello- nursery nurse 2 was ushering one of the kids back under the cover out of the rain.
In the midst of this, one of the “older” children i don’t really know, walked over to me, and purposely grabbed my boob, then walked away again. He was sort of giggling and it didn’t feel “malicious”- but definitely odd, being so “out of nowhere”. Nursery nurse 2 didn’t see- being occupied with the rain dancing kid.
Nursery nurse 1 came back with the diary sheet and I immediately told her what happened, reassured her I wasn’t upset, that children I know do odd things sometimes, and I hadn’t said anything to the child, but that I thought she should know.
Nursery nurse 2 seemed v upset and quite flustered- and said she would report it to the manager. She also said I may have to write up a report.
It really wasn’t a huge deal (in my eyes)- although it would have felt odd NOT to say anything, I felt her level of upset was disproportionate- given the child is no older than 3.5- and kids can do bonkers stuff sometimes.
Now I feel a bit conflicted- and am (weirdly) doubting whether I should have raised it.
WIBU and overreacting myself by mentioning it - or is this more serious than I realise (being the mother of a boob obsessed breastfeeding) - and I’m actually not taking it seriously enough?
