I wonder if the other Mother and son treat others the same way. It annoys me when kids of about 10 y.o. or more claim swings that are designed for toddlers. One day one of them is going to get stuck in one. I wouldn’t try to help becuase I know I am physically unable to do so. I can no longer easily pick up my toddler. I only do it in an emergency now. I couldn’t pick my eldest up by the time he was 7 y.o. If other kids get on the slippery dip I tell my kids to “slide down now please so that the other children can come down”. They also have to wait their turn on other playground equipment. Some equipment can easily be shared. My youngest tends to get scared it they go too fast nd some of the others who are older jump on and push it really fast. Sometimes I have to yell for them to stop so I can lift him off. I usually then give it a couple of brief pushes to help them get up to speed again. I like to be fair about it.

I always let other kids/ parents know we’re waiting, but also loudly instruct my kids that they have to wait their turn.

My gosh people are rude! Go you!

I find it so annoying when you just get your child on the swing and other people stand around and wait this is the thing my child loves the most and I will take him off when im ready not because other people are standing there with in reason of course. good on you

Screaming over a toy car seems somewhat of an over reaction. Parks and play areas are for kids to meet and play and enjoy being with each other.

Provably would have done the same thing!

Good on you! I probably would of made her wait an hour lol

Some people are so rude, I would have done the same thing.

Good on you. My little boy always takes toys to the park and I offer to the other parents to let their children play with them as I think it’s a good way to teach my son to share

who wouldn’t do the same thing

I would have done the same thing… good on you for standing your ground 🙂

Good on you!!! How rude of the other Mother though!
