ok i got this from another thread which i frequent.. something which we mummies have to face when our bb is older.. Probably would be a shock to most new mummies.
Encounter at Playgound
-----------------------
abt 2 wks ago, brought S to a playgound near my mum's place that has swings. as it has only 2 swings, we have to Q up. after waiting for abt 10-15 mins, S has the chance to sit on the swing.
after abt 5 mins, an indian mummy with her 2 kids came along and waited at the side of the swing for S to come down. the boy, who's younger than S, was whining and crying (with NO tears) and wants to sit on the swing. after waiting for abt 2-3 mins, the mummy got "frustrated", ask shanice to "come down. enough, come down". and even allow her son to beat S.
meanwhile, i was trying to ask S to come down, in mandarin, but S doesn't want to, so i don't force her. somemore, the mummy was so rude, all the more i didn't want to force S to give way.
part of the conversation goes,
indian mummy: this is for public, not for you alone
me : yes, so you have to Q up. we also Q-ed for a while before she has a chance to sit
indian mummy: you sit so long alr, enough, my son wants to sit
me (frustrated alr cos she didn't scold her son when he hits S) : why should i sacrifice my child to satisfy your son? and you can even allow ur son to hit people, what kind of behaviour is that?
indian mummy : good behaviour!
when S still didn't come down, the mummy stop the swing, hold on to it and told S to "come down, or i kick you". and S said "no". i kept quiet (cos i was very frustrated already), and watch the lady asked S to come down 3x and S told her "no" 3x and i couldn't control myself and burst out laughing. cos i find it hilarious. imagine the conversation between an adult standing, holding 1 side of the swing, looking down at the toddler who's sitting on the swing, looking up at the adult and saying "no" forcefully for 3x, hahahhahaa...
at this point, the son smack S on the shoulder (too fast, i not sure if it hits shanice's face) and this time round, S smacks his face back and i couldn't control but burst out "good girl" but when she wanna hit him again, i stopped her lah.
all this while i have been trying to get S down the swing cos going to meet my family at the hawker centre nearby but S just refuse to budge. and since the mummy was so rude, i juz couldn't be bothered to let her know i'm trying to get S off the swing. if she's been polite, i'll hv tried harder to get S down.
finally after a minute, they left, and the elder girl walked past behind me, and i felt some "water" near my feet. after a long while then i realise it might hv been the girl's saliva!!! my, some kind of upbringing they have.
I can't stop laughing about it too.
