[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Removing the child's hands - fine.  Giving him a lecture - you're opening yourself up to be criticized in kind.  Like it or not, we don't discipline other people's children in [b]this culture[/b], although of course you need to do what you need to do to help your own child in the moment.  [/quote]

Maybe in your culture, whatever that is.[b] But in every social circle I've belonged to[/b] (my children are ages 4, 8, and 12), we have always disciplined each other's children in situations such as the OP described. No spanking, of course, but certainly a firm reprimand and, if necessary, removal of hands (or of the child) from the situation.

You can choose to let this sort of behavior go on, or you can choose to not to do anything. Think about the example you are setting your children.[/quote]

Very different to discipline a stranger's child in the park, vs your friend's child (when you know your friend is ok with it).  Not saying that OP did something totally crazy; just that she crossed a boundary, and had her boundaries crossed in return. [/quote]
