Playground Etiquette

Sounds like you handled it pretty dang good! Me, on the other hand....I would've been too confrontational....especially now that I'm older. I think you have every right to take your son's toys to the park to play with and people should respect that. Sounds like the other mother needs an attitude adjustment! LOL

In all seriousness, I have taken my grandson to the park and I don't think about taking toys but when other kids have their toys with them, I try and direct his attention to somewhere else and enjoy our time together. But, I also see other moms just not think about other people. Can you imagine how they must be in other situations?!?!?

You go girl....you've got the right frame of mind in dealing with others. :)
 
im sorry you encountered this i cant believe how some parents actually raise there children,we encounter it here too,im a firm believer in sharing but not to the extent that your own child has nothing to play with,i also only let my children play with other peoples stuff if they have been invited to then after ten minutes i say now give back the toy and say thankyou but obviously not everyone has the manners that we all have i hope you manage to sort it for next time without you having to be uncomfortable by saying they cant play with his toys
 
that is seriously insane Tiki!! You know, we live by a park too and I have found that most mothers take their kids to parks for a break and don't care at all what their children do the whole time. It's soo frustrating. I tend to be the neighborhood mean mom. :(
 
Good grief. You handled it much better than I would have done, I too would have been much more confrontational I think! But this has never really happened to me (another tall girl!)

Rebecca: I couldn't agree more with everything you said. :yup
