Or is this blatant cheeky fuckery? Child related

I've name changed in case I am being totally unreasonable

I sometimes let DS have a little go on those supermarket rides. You know the little cards or miniature roundabouts etc that you let children on?

Anyway, we have a Peppa Pig one near us. It technically fits two children but at a bit of a squeeze unless they're both small.

I popped £2 in and put toddler DS onto the ride. He was thrilled as usual as he likes the rides. Just before I pressed the start button, this mum comes up behind me and says "Go on then Lucas, quickly sit next to him and have a go too".

The child looked about 4/5 but of course you never know.

I was a bit surprised but smiled and acted like it wasn't anything to comment on. But then realised it is a bit cheeky, isn't it?

For clarification I know this isn't a major event, I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks it's quite rude. I say that because I certainly wouldn't do it to someone. I don't think I'd ask if they could join in on someone's ride either, especially a small one like that.

AIBU?

*The little boy wasn't actually called Lucas.

So cheeky! We had promised my little girl a ride on one at the supermarket once and there was a girl already on it, her gran told us it was fine to let her on with her granddaughter so we did. We then paid for another ride so both girls got two rides. Wouldn't dream of allowing her on without permission and i would be pissed off if someone did same to me. Plus my daughter would probably have a meltdown

LoveIsland - yes I know that, that's why I described it as an "opposite" problem!

The parent in the OP is a CF. But round where I live they wouldn't have the CF opportunity because everyone seems to invite any nearby child onto the ride they've paid for anyway.
