to wonder why a parent would get snotty with my eldest son because he didn't want their little girl to get on the zip wire without one of her parents there?

Girl was about 3 or 4. DS got off the zip wire and brought the seat thing back so that the girl could get on it but there was no parents in sight and he didn't think she should get on without someone watching here.

The dad turned up and when the girl complained the the 'big boy' wouldn't let her get on, he told DS#1 to mind his own business

AIBU to think that he was right to be cautious. She was so small she could hardly reach the seat.

YANBU.

A woman abandoned (ok, turned her back on) her baby (10 months ish) in a deep and dense ball pool at a soft playhell warehouse while I was there with my lot.

When said baby went under the balls and started to panic, my five year old DD got to him, scooped the balls off him and away from his face, all the while coooing reassuringly.

Rude twit didn't even acknowledge DD, let alone thank her, when she realised what was happening

I think she was a touch embarrased but this shouldn't negate the use of good manners
