My pet hate is parents who take their kiddies to the park, + a bottle of wine, and expect the other parents to entertain their kids and keep them safe. I'm perfectly happy for them to join in our game and mke sure they don't get hurt during the game, but if dd moves on to something else I move on to something else too-I'm there for her safety, not the safety of wandering child. There was one kiddie this evening who was really hacking me off-he was pushing dd off things to get my attention and jumping in the path of the swing so that I had to stop it quickly etc and he was a very large blonde child, and I kept singing augustus gloop in my head and accidentally sang it out loud under my breath and dd picked it up and started singing it too! Argh!! I am so embarrassed at my behaviour-I feel so bad-it's not his fault , and it was his mum I was hacked off at! Oh god!
