Upset over other parents behavior
Just wanted to rant over something that happened earlier today at Decathlon Northshore. My boy is just 2 years old and was playing in the tent area where there were other kids. He used his hands to hit another boy's head (around the same age or slightly older). My husband and I were watching him from outside the tent and when we saw that, I immediately rushed to pull him away and reprimanded him. In the meantime, the boy's mom just death stared at me and my son as I apologised to them (I understand since we were at fault). But the grandmother outside kept shouting and berating us in mandarin (they are not locals). I kept quiet and continued explaining to my son that he can't do that. He was shaken and scared because they kept continuing to shout at him for his actions. When we got out of the tent, grandmother continued screaming saying things like my son has bad manners, we didnt educate him well, why didnt we pull him away etc. My husband was very annoyed but he asked them if their kid is okay but she just continued shouting at us. I stepped in to explain that I've already pulled him away the moment I saw that happen. But they just kept going, until the kids father stepped in and told us enough. Like??? Its his mom that's fussing and screaming. The kids have calmed down, but she continued criticising us and my kid. And grandmother continued to tell her grandson to hit our kid back. Their kid was fine, my husband asked him if hes okay and high fived him at the end. And the whole time the grandmother kept berating us, saying how we didn't teach our kid etc even as we left. Parents were also so hostile instead of trying to show our kids how we should behavior in such a situation??? Ps. Its not a serious brawl or injury, just kids being uncontrollable sometimes and hitting another kid. Plus we don't endorse such behavior of our son but we can't control what they do at 2 years old.. just pulled him out of the situation and apologised I'm so upset and cried after this whole incident.
