Children having their own seat on a packed train.

[user1493559472]

I am on a packed train. A child who is about 3 years old is sat in their own seat and not on the parents lap, would you ask to sit down and the child sits on parents lap? People were standing.
Thank you

My experience with my three children (all well over three years old now)

So you are not the parent in that situation, you are dictating what you think the parent should do so you can get the seat you are after.

And?
Small children are also people, equally valuable people.

Pretty much every post you've written has suggested this.

I put my kids on my lap on a busy train, or we'll squeeze onto 2 seats between the 3 of us if I've got them both with me.

I wouldn't approach someone and ask them to move their kid though.

Complete nonsense, and the fact that you can't find one example of me saying it, tells it's own story.

And, while their small size has nothing to do with their value but it clearly makes it much easier for them to sit on an adult's lap.

Can you read?

I am not dictating what anyone should do. I am telling you what I would do and have done.

I have not implied it. You have inferred it. Incorrectly.

But is it acceptable to judge others who don’t do the same when you have no idea about why the parent in question doesn’t want to give up the seat? Or is it a case that a 3 year old needs to give it up regardless?

Can you show me where I have judged others who don't do the same?

Are you just having a general argument with the rest of the thread?

It's not easier for them or the adult they have to sit on.

Lots of us agree with @BananaPeels.

I didn’t say you had judged someone - I asked you the question ‘is it acceptable to judge someone?’

it was a question to further probe views on this. That is the point of a debate.

the answer would be no. Others on here have said yes to similar questions. It is interesting to see a range of views

It is not acceptable to judge someone in those circumstances.

Except don’t have a three year old.

Good grief!

It is easier for a small person (3 year old) to sit on a lap than for a large person (adult). Do you understand?

Yes thanks. Inconvenience has been talked about in a variety of contexts, but no one has accused children of being a 'major inconvenience', and pp was the only person to say anything about martyrdom. They're being absurd.

HTH.

How can you know that?. She has clarified that she was just asking a question.

No, it doesn't help.
HTH you.

How can i know agree with her many posts? Well, being asI have read them all......🤣

I understand you think it's easier.
I'm stating that it's, in fact, not easier.
Good grief indeed.
HTH

So you are claiming that it's just as hard for a toddler to sit on an adult's lap (for both parties) than it is for a bigger child or an adult to sit on an adult's lap... 🤔

No, I'm stating that it's not easier for the child or the parent to give the child's seat to another adult.
There's some really, really weird perspectives and comments on this thread.

Well they often do behave badly when tired or upset. Thats nothing new
