[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just add the obvious, which is that this doesn’t apply when non disabled kids are waiting for the accessible swing? I have had parents come over to demand a turn for their kid on what is literally the only piece of equipment he can use, and there are other swings, slides, and climbing equipment available.

And before someone asks, the other parent watched me lift my kid out of his wheelchair into the swing, so they didn’t miss the fact there was a disability.[/quote]

Who is raising these ogres? I'd be embarrassed to even ask. [/quote]

OP here,

I don’t consider kids learning to share to be ogres.  A six year old who asks for a turn on the swing my kid is using is easy to redirect to the regular swing.  They also may not even realize that my kid can’t use the regular swing.  I once had a kid ask my son if he wanted to trade, my son could ride his bike and and could ride the wheelchair.  That’s innocence, and frankly way better than the kids who just stand and stare or announce they want to go home.

I was just reacting to the mother who, when her kid came over and said “that boy and his mom won’t share, came over to ask me to get my kid off the swing.

I think she was related to the mother who lectured me about the fact that my kid brought an iPad to a soccer game so he could listen to an audiobook (the controls on a smaller device are too small) lectures me about screen time.  [/quote]

I'm talking about the parents asking the disabled kid to get off. [/quote]
