DS is 21 months and today we took him to a soft play thing for the first time. He was bodding about doing his thing with his little cousins and DH was running round after them when they needed it. I was looking after baby- BFing, etc, and my mum was there too.
We were getting ready to leave and I was putting a coat on one of the kids, DH was rounding up another, mum was seeing to the baby when DS wandered to the counter which we were sat almost next to.
When DH came over, DS was eating Haribo sweets. A lady said she had bought him them. She said he had been looking at her DDs empty packet like he wanted some so she bought him them and opened them for him. I was a little uneasy about this as I don't give DS haribo and had wanted to get a fruit cup or 2 down him before we left (TMI but constipation), but I wasn't overly bothered. However, she started lurking around our table staring at us and said the same thing about 5 times about having bought him them as he'd been looking at her daughters empty packet hungrily, etc. I was trying to deal with the kids so answering politely when I got the opportunity. DH whispered to me to offer her the money but she'd started to walk away by that point. The haribo were only 40p anyway and I had no change.
One of the girls disappeared and we were walking round shouting her thinking she had gone back on the toys, but it turned out she was sitting with this lady- who could clearly see and hear us searching for my niece.
She just came across as mildly psychotic and when we were actually leaving, she followed us to the door.
I wouldn't really buy someone else's DC sweets without asking them. AIBU to think it was a bit weird or was she just trying really hard to be friendly?
