My friend got hit in the face a few weeks ago by my daughter playing on a swing. There were a couple of small cuts and bruising but otherwise no lasting damage, no stitches, etc. My friend is now not speaking to me over it and I'm annoyed as it was just a freak accident and any kid could have been on the swing. They are just ignoring me and and I thought our friendship was stronger than that. I've put myself in their shoes and 100% if it was the other way round I would not be treating them like this. AIBU?

Does she think it was your fault or your daughter's? Wss it or was it preventable?

I'd also say the number of adults I see walking in front of swings when the partlk is busy is wild. I also see plenty not watching their kids and letting them do this. So maybe she didn't know not to walk in front?!

What grown adult was near enough to a swing to be hit in the face?! Surely swing behaviour 101 is that you don’t stand near it? It’s the thing you hear all parents drilling into their kids in the park!

This. It's not a surprise that swings go forward.... then back.
