Stuck up mum or normal? 🤣

I think she sounds rude and like the group leader said… her time will come to be humbled 😅 “I won’t let my baby do that” ok good luck to her 😂😂 I think it’s important to teach gentle hands like you are- my 14 month old is very grabby but I just keep enforcing the “gentle” hands approach. I wouldn’t worry x x

“I won’t let my baby do that” that’s a wild thing to say 😂 she’s in for a bumpy ride for sure. Don’t worry about it momma x

😂😂😂😂😂😂 she will be humbled You're doing great! Don't worry about it

You sound like you were doing exactly the right things and that mum is the one with the problem.

Unpopular opinion maybe but I don't think I'd let my 1 year old go up and touch another younger baby if I didn't know them or mum, 1 because of germs (he's literally full of them) 2- you don't know if that child has any health issues 3- it literally takes seconds for a touch to turn into a smack or a grab I wouldn't be happy if a 2/3 year old came up touching my son and getting in his face, he probably wouldn't be either. I would have distracted him with something else, especially after the first time she moved her away like that was a gentle please don't do that. I probably wouldn't have come out with that comment but maybe she was just abit shocked you kept letting him go to her when she moved her. Not saying you're in the wrong we all Parent differently and my oldest was a touchy child always interested in other children and felt I was always moving him out of babies ways at play groups... but he was quite tactile. My second isn't really bothered with other children.

@Sarah no it’s nice to see a different opinion so maybe I can try to understand where she might be coming from. I think the germs thing is irrelevant because if she’s worried about that she should just keep her baby at home. She was happy for her baby to be playing with the toys provided which have been in other babies mouths and in their hands. Germs are a normal process and they’re bound to catch things when they go to these groups. I understand the smacking and grabbing, she may be nervous that her baby is going to get upset. But isn’t that how we teach our babies in the real world how to interact with each other? My baby is only 14 months so not that much older than hers and her little girl wasn’t bothered. But I did sit close so he couldn’t smack her, I can tell when he going to 🤣 I also understand the health issues bit but she could have just come and spoke to me? Thank you anyway for sharing another perspective, I didn’t actually think about a lot of it.

Thanks everyone though, she was definitely uptight and rude looking back. Communication isn’t hard and she could have just spoken to me rather than being snooty! 🤣 it’s nice to know I’m not alone
