Hi all, I'll get straight to the point. A few weeks ago I went to the pub with my relatives. They had a play area at the back where my dcs were playing. Later on a few teenagers (looked around 13 yrs old) went to the play area, their parents were eating inside the restaurant. About 20 mins later my dd (5yrs old) comes up to me to tell me one of the teen boys pushed her as she sat to go down the slide. Dd wasn't crying but upset. I went over and told them to go away and leave her alone (not shouting but in a firm voice).
Last week, at the school Christmas fair, as we were about to leave one of the teachers stopped to talk to my dcs. My dd stopped in the doorway for just a moment and another young teen boy said 'fucking move'. My dd didn't hear this over the loud music but I did. As he hurried off I shouted at him to watch his mouth. I'm not sure if he heard. I wanted to go after him to speak to him face to face but I was alone with the dcs and did not want to lose sight of them.
These two incidents have really upset me and I play them over and over in my mind. Did I do enough? Should I have handled it differently?
Has anyone else had a similar experience and what did they do?
It's upsetting with you take your dcs out for a fun time and something like this spoils the day.
