I was out with my 2yo DS in the buggy today, he was having a temper tantrum on the way back from the library because he was tired. I tried to placate him but he was having none of it.
As i'm getting a move on he was sliding down in the seat, tantrumming, and putting his legs on the bumper bar. I put his legs down, he did it again. Rinse and repeat.
After repositioning him in the seat a good three times I thought, just leave him to it, it's an awkward way to sit but no harm done. It isn't hurting him. Let's just hurry up and get him home without causing any more of a scene.
A random man who I assume works for the council given the job he was doing, stopped me in the street by blocking my path and told me in a harsh tone to "fix that bebbys legs"
I wish I had said something witty in response but all I could muster was that he shouldn't be commenting on strangers parenting in the street (unless there was abuse, of course)
Do you think he was reasonable or unreasonable to do that? It has annoyed me and is the last thing a parent needs when they're just doing their best in a stressful situation.
