[quote=Anonymous]I'm a PP. What if OP had written this instead:

"On the way to my daughter's toddler storytime class at the library, we stopped at the grocery store to buy some grapes. I brought the open bag of grapes into the class and put them on a low shelf at the back of the classroom. I would've put them higher up, but here was no other shelf, so I had to put them on this low shelf. A 2-year-old walked up and tried to take a grape. I told her she shouldn't take them because she could choke, but she just said 'I want a grape!' I caught her mom's eye, and she said 'Oh, do you not want her to eat the grapes?' And I said 'No, I didn't bring the grapes for sharing, and plus she could choke on them.' After that, I sat down with my daughter on the other side of the room, so I wasn't able to guard the grapes myself. All through the class, kids kept going up to the grapes and even taking some, and some of their parents didn't even try to stop them."

What would you guys say in that situation? I would say that it's weird if the other parents didn't say something like "hey we don't take other people's food," but I mostly think it's OP's fault for bringing a bag of grapes to a room full of toddlers for her own convenience, and then putting the burden on other parents to keep their kids away from the grapes.[/quote]
