[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in the library playroom with my 3 year old today and there was a grandmother with her nine or ten month grandchild.  My child took a toy out of the baby’s hand to play with it and the grandmother said, “please don’t take toys out of his hand.  Please give it back to him”.  My child walked over to me and I told her to give it back.  She did and the grandmother said thank you.

No big deal, right?  No one did anything wrong, right?  I just feel embarrassed and judged now and keep thinking about how I should have said something first.  Or the grandmother took it all way too seriously and had no business correcting my kid.  [/quote]

Well, you *should* have said something when your kid, in your words, "took a toy out of a baby's hand."  Why didn't you say anything?  Did you think that was OK?

And since you didn't say anything, she was perfectly fine correcting your kid.   She seemed like she very polite about it.  I'd have been polite to your kid, who is three, but less polite to you, who stood there and didn't say anything.  What on earth are you teaching your kid?

You are being judged - by the grandmother, and now me - and you absolutely should feel embarrassed.  [/quote]
