[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FTM here, my daughter is now 18 months.  We were at the park and towards the end of our outing, she wanted to “ride” these vehicle things for kids (before we left (not real vehicles obviously, they just go on them and pretend, no idea if there’s a name for them lol), she loves them.  The few times we have been there, if they are all taken up (there’s 5), a line forms and kids take turns.  Well I had noticed two other moms (obviously friends), with their kids had been there for about 10-15 minutes, so I “start” a line, keeping my distance.  My daughter got a little fussy Bc she doesn’t understand waiting, but I held her and told her that we had to wait our turn.  Honestly I kind of assumed they would make one of their kids take turns on one of the things.  I feel like I’m very considerate with public spaces, and if I know there’s someone waiting and it’s been a few minutes, I take my daughter off whatever and tel her our time is up.  Instead, they left, I’m assumjng bc my daughter kept fussing, and one of them very passive aggressively said “thanks for waiting patiently.”  Huh?!  [/quote]
Go to the park earlier or teach your kid not to fuss and figure out something else to do.  You missed an excellent teaching moment.  Or you could’ve told one of the other kids their turn was over if you felt so strongly about it.[/quote]
