You'd give a kid water out of a bottle that you or your kids have been drinking out of? Even during the middle of a pandemic? It's not like the kid was there alone and in a desperate situation, her parent was there.
No one meant or suggested that. Weird conclusion! No one meant offering your own bottle, your kid’s sippy cup, your own cup. It was suggested if you had a an extra/unopened water, or an empty clean unused cup it would have been an option (this was not spelled out that you’re not mouthing one another’s drinking vessels, it shouldn’t need to be for adults!).
Okay, most people aren’t carrying around a bunch of extra water bottles to the playground. The options are your water bottle or your kids water bottle.
Seriously... who on earth carries a bunch of sealed plastic bottles to the playground?
Well,I usually have some extra bottles in my car. We carry reusable ones, but I generally have some new water bottles, some kind of granola bar or snacks, and blankets. My oldest used to go from not hungry at all to starving and hangry, so it was in my best interest to have them handy when I picked her up from school.
I guess I’m fortunate to live in a neighborhood where we can walk to a playground, already a helping enough in the stroller, not packing some extra sealed water bottles for random kids.

I would not give a random kid water out of a bottle that we had already used. If I had an extra sealed water bottle sure, I would offer it if the mother said it was ok.
The kid isn't going to die of dehydration at the local playground.

Well then they didnt read OP’s post, because she clearly stated she didn’t have water other than the bottles she and her kid were drinking out of. Context matters folks.

Well in the OP she only had her baby’s sippy cup and a water bottle she was already drinking out of.

I would not give them water. First of all, it’s gross. Secondly, we are not out in the middle of a Sahara desert where the child can’t wait 10 or 15 more minutes to get some water at home. She will survive.

Now, if kid accidently spilled her water, I'd let mom know if I had extra to share.
+1 I've had this conversation with my kid a few times. I also think being thirsty doesn't mean the child is about to spontaneously combust.
The mom was on a walking date. This is what we take from this question. Don’t bring your child if you leave them to fend for themselves. We don’t need to helicopter, but if your child is hitting up multiple adults because you’re getting on some “me” time there is an issue.

How many times have there been posts here regarding the fact that strangers have tried to over ride a parents decision in public? This is just another example.

If I had an extra bottle of water, sure. If I have a personal water bottle, hell no.
Some moms use the lack of water as a cue to go home. Oh, you're thirsty? It's time to leave.
