[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I take my 2 year old son to outings like playgrounds, play rooms, and libraries a lot. I notice that other parents often give me the cold shoulder. Like for instance, at the playground, if their child is getting in my son’s space they’ll say “Give him space, Johnny” while never making eye contact me or addressing me or my son. It’s like everyone just wants to stay in their bubble. I often try to at least make eye contact and smile when I encounter other parents but they look past me. Is this normal or is it just me? I’m not weird, dirty, or unattractive looking. [/quote] My kids are older but I remember this. I always thought it was because they didn't want to be interpreted as disciplining or directing your child, only their own. [/quote] This. And sometimes they are hoping you do the same too, OP, if your child is hogging something for longer than socially acceptable. [/quote]
