[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mostly agree that it’s weird that’s the girl’s mom didn’t at least come over and tell her “we don’t ride other people’s bikes.” It’s weird that she just stood there.

I have to say though, re: attractive nuisances: it did bother me when my daughter was 12-24 months (and not very good yet at remembering rules) when parents would bring strollers full of snacks and toys, fun big wheels-type things, etc, to the playground or library kids area or whatever. I got really annoyed that I brought my daughter somewhere for her to explore and play, but now I had to spend all this time keeping her away from other kids’ things. So I do think the attractive nuisance idea has some merit - but i’m not sure it applies in this situation.[/quote]

What a truly shitty parent you are.[/quote]

Why? Say you brought your 8-month-old crawling baby to the part of the children’s museum that’s just for little babies, but then you get there and there is an older kid who’s decided to play with marbles in that section. Wouldn’t you be annoyed that you thought your infant would be able to explore freely, and now you just have to keep them away from these shiny marbles they could choke on? Again, it’s really not related to OP’s example. I’m just saying the attractive nuisance idea has merit.[/quote]
