Ok went with ds and his little friend. ds is too small to be left on his own and the place was pretty empty. In comes a mum and her little girl who came into the play area and joined us, she played really nicely with the others and was a sweetie pie. She needed help to get onto the slide and other areas which she found tricky and I obliged no probs. Anyway I had to see to ds who had bumped his head so left this little girl and she started to moan a bit and scream and call me mummy! Whilst I was sorting ds out this little girls mum came over to me (still not in the play area as it was fenced off and she was wearing shoes and I hasten to add had been painting her nails whilst sitting in the cafe area) and she said (get this!)
"It's really not that difficult to pick up a distressed child and put them on the slide is it?" In a really huffy way! How insane is that!
