Expected my 6 yr old to stand on the bus…

[TheViewFromTheCheapSeats]

Aibu. Bus was full with everyone at a window seat, but most aisle seats free.

Got on, I stood with the older ones but told my just six year old to sit. It’s a little jerky bus and also has few steps to fall down. She’s the kind of kid to fall, looks young so no way they thought she was older

4 women (each around age 30-50) put bags down or shooed her away from the empty seat next to them.

‘Social distancing’. Aibu to have been annoyed and spoken to them and told one to move her bag? In the end one flounced off dramatically and said she’d walk the last stop.

The bag people on public transport really annoy me, I do ask people to move them so my son can sit down, some move the bag, some ignore you, others have ‘interesting’ verbal responses.

On the whole you don’t pay/pay less not deserving a seat. My 29 year old husband travels for free as he has a freedom pass, should he sit on my knee rather than take a seat?

I’d have sat down with child on my lap
