Walking with my dogs and children and saw a dad and I assume older sibling swinging 3/4 year old by her arms.

I mentioned in passing that it’s advised not to swing young children by their arms until at least 7 as there’s a risk of dislocation of elbows.

I try not to interfere with other people’s parenting generally but I would have hated them to accidentally hurt her.

Should I just have left them to it?

He 100% was humouring you.

Poor bloke. It probably came across like you were mansplaining.

Also id love to know where you are that was 16 degrees 😏

@RealBecca I think OP is Scottish, and it would be that cool (well cool for a heat wave!) In some parts

Nothing is risk free OP. Maybe you should just stay indoors. There’s cars, animals and all kinds of people out there, god forbid it rains and you might slip. You also wouldn’t have to worry about interfering with other peoples business that way.

I am Scottish.

For the avoidance of doubt:

I acknowledged I was 100% in the wrong by about post 12

I’ve said I won’t do it again

I haven’t walked my dogs in a couple of days though did just walk them this morning when it was 17 degrees

Please do continue having a pop at me if it makes you feel better though.
