S/O: appropriate amount of time to be on the swings when others are waiting.

They are the large, supportive swings that look like molded plastic lounge chairs. They fully support the child like an infant swing does.

Moms at the playground generally understand this. Dads, nannies/babysitters, and grandparents do not. Just my observation.

I think nannys know, too. I would add moms and dads during the weekdays understand this. The weekend parents (and grandparents) do not.

No, it absolutely does not apply to you or your child. Tell the parent “no”. That equipment is not for their kid.

+100 not only do you not have to cede the swing to a non disabled kid, but if my kid is using that accessible swing they are expected to give it up the very MOMENT a disabled child wants to use it, whether they've been on it 10 minutes or 10 seconds.

Absolutely!

Nope. All kids need to learn manners and sharing. They can wait their turn as well. Scorch me I don’t care.

Do you also park in the handicapped spots, because disabled people need to learn to share? SMDH.

Nope but I do use the handicap stall in the bathroom and those grownups have to wait as well. It’s called living in a whole society.

It depends on how long you've been there. If I've been pushing my baby in the swing for quite a while and I know someone else has been at the park the whole time and has not come over to show interest in the swings until later, I usually try to move quickly because they might have been waiting but farther away. Also, I've had a long turn and can easily move.

On the other hand, if I just put the baby in, and especially if they saw that I just got my turn, 5-7 minutes seems very reasonable.

You do care and you care deeply what people think. You also need attention which is why you posted. You want to be seen as the “maverick” but nothing is farther from the truth.

I also do not believe that even you would leave a child waiting in his wheelchair with nothing else to donor play on she your child sits on the disabled swing.

7 minutes.

It’s kind of hard work getting my toddler into the swing. I think two minutes is too quick.

I hope you don’t experience the day that statement really washes over you in a moment of need.
