Today i was waiting outside preschool with my older two. The other week when my husband took them, he had let my eldest swing on the railings there, she had fallen off and cut her lip, so naturally i wont let her play on them (not that i did before anyways!)
So along comes a mum and dad with their little lady whom goes straight to the railings and starts swinging. Straight away mum says, no come down off there. Child ignores mum. Dad tries. child ignores dad. After a while of looking at her, they give up....so why bother in the first place to say anything if they didnt actually care enough to stop her???
My eldest then decides to chance her luck to have a go, so i crouch down and say to her, just because that little girl is doing it, does not mean you can, dont you remember hurting your lip last week? I look up when done explaining and catch the mum giving me evils! What? What did i do?! Did i DARE tell my child not to do something dangerous :O :O :O
I dont understand some parents sometimes!
