At parent & toddler group this morning I was sitting chatting to another mum with a baby sitting on my knee. My dd who is 20 months was standing in front of me and the other mum's dd who is a few months younger than mine came up with a plastic fork and started sticking it in my dd's mouth. My dd is a bit nervous around other kids and she just stood there as the little girl kept shoving it in her mouth. I reached out to move my dd back but as I was holding a baby at the time it was a bit difficult and I ended up pushing the other little ones hand by accident. I think it looked like I did it deliberately. The other mum just looked and walked away. Maybe she thought nothing of it but I keep thinking she must think I am a really awful person to do this because I would hate if another mum did this to my dd. I wanted to explain but she is a woman I find it difficult to talk to and didn't want to make it sound like I was making excuses. Should I say something if she is there next week? Her dd is lovely and was only playing with mine but my dd doesn't seem to be able to stand up to other children yet and I was worried she would be hurt. It is a struggle to get her to settle at the group sometimes so I am always wary of her getting upset.
