Should I be annoyed about this?

[Tealtowel]

I had someone over last week with their little one 2.5 they were playing with my LO(1.5) on a kids table, drawing. Two chairs. Each side of table. The other child got off their chair and decided to try and get my LO off his chair as he wanted to sit on it. The mother said no then 5 seconds later picked up my child and moved them to the other chair so their LO could sit on the chair my LO was sitting on.

I was gobsmacked at the time and didnt really think about it but now I have been dwelling on it surely

1. She should be teaching her child they dont get their own way and

1. Surely she shouldnt have moved my child ?

Eh?? That's odd!!

Had a similar one when SIL wanted her DD (4) to sit in the only high chair in the house when my baby was only 8mo
Weirdos! Ignore!

No, you shouldn't be annoyed. It's surely not a problem for you or your child a week later?

I think you have to pick your battles. In someone else's house, sometimes it's easier to take the easiest path.

I'm on the fence sometimes I tell my two yr old no other times I just move the 8month old over as she doesn't care either way.
Guess its different with some else baby though.

Surely though shes teaching my LO that whatever her LO wants they get. I wouldnt want my LO to think he could sit wherever even if people are sitting there.
MrsLeigh it was our house if that makes much different.
I guess im over reacting then. New to all this childrearing malarky

If your DC is only 18m they're not learning anything from it really so I wouldn't worry too much. What you need to do is remember all the times your friend's child does stuff like this so in a year's time when your DC is doing it you can reassure yourself that it's just a phase.

I wouldnt want my LO to think he could sit wherever even if people are sitting there.

This this 100% this!
I wouldn't be upset by what she did it was just stupid, but I would definitely not teach my DCs that they can have what they want when they want it

I agree, she shouldn't gave moved your child. Maybe okay to sit her child on the same chair next to yours, or move her dd's child to the other side. I always would be a bit peeved that she moved your child.

There's nothing you can do about it now, but I sometimes also dwell on things after the event.

Yh next yr you can explain to their kid that yours is just a baby and needs to sit there/play with that toy etc.
Just don't let them keep on with it for too long of course.
