Fed up with baby stay and play

Hi, weird one to moan about but local baby stay and play has unfortunately made me feel so bad for my little one. Just the apathetic parents chatting away meanwhile their 3 year old comes and pushes my 18mo off of a stepping stone and throws his book. I do not feel comfortable telling off other people's toddlers and don't feel I should have to tbh if parents actually paid attention to their own children. Luckily my little one seemed pretty unphased but then another 3yo pushes him off a toy and the mother just sighs 'oh no darling we don't snatch' and let's him stay on the toy! Anyway. Rant over. Aibu to feel annoyed? Would you have said something to the parents? It's so awkward!

I don't think you have to tell them off. Just something along the lines of 'oh, sorry Jonny was sitting there/reading that book, (while taking the book)' The child might get cross or cry but so be it!

No you don't need to say something to the parents, just say to the child who pushed your child off that it's not their turn yet so please step off while your child was still playing.
