[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you agree that battling over toys is normal and generally not to be interfered with. Obviously you think hitting is not okay, and most of us agree. Yelling is not as clear-cut, and perhaps that father was picking his battles with his child as well.

You sound like you don't get to the playground very often if this was a Dear Diary moment for you.[/quote]

OP here. Actually, I don't bring my toddler to the playground very often. [b]So what you're saying is that these things happen all the time and therefore, does not warrant parental intervention? Interesting. I will remember that going forward.

[b]Actually, you intervening when your child hit was perfectly appropriate.

The father not intervening when his child used words instead of actions when being attacked by another child?  Also perfectly appropriate.

So you both parented in an appropriate way given the situation and the ages of the kids.[/b]

The only think truly inappropriate is your reaction to the father's appropriate parenting.  That is the only part that is off base here.[/quote]
