Boundaries with other parents? - Page 2

My kids would have screamed bloody murder. I think people would have been looking uncomfortably at the woman grabbing at them. It is outragous that she thought it was her responsibility to parent your kids.

So how did it turn out? Did you leave the clothes on the kids or give them back to her? I think I might have forgotten to give them back to her and donated them to the thrift store on the way home! She wouldn't be putting clothes on your kids again..... atleast not any that she didn't want to lose!

I'm pretty sure the other people were uncomfortable with what the crazy lady was doing and not with you telling her to stop. If anyone was being judgmental of you they were probably wondering why you weren't physically intervening to stop the crazy lady.

Good grief. If someone did that to my children they would be barraged with a stream of language so foul their hair would curl. You don't touch my kids. Period. And I would have physically shoved her off of my toddler. I have issues of my own (really--don't we all?) and they include people not forcing their touch on me or mine. *I* don't force my daughter to do things like that who the heck does she think she is.

I would never put something on someone else's child unless I had permission.

If this is a person you know, I would contact her and tell her how you felt about what happened.
