I dunno why i bother taking C to soft play. Its always expensive seems slightly manky and she catches bugs from the place-ill never forget the bristol meet where all ours got stomach upsets. But she does love it so took her today and she was having a great time til this horrible little girl who was about 3 i think decided she wanted the train C was 'driving' and before i could get into the area to grab her shoved caelyn clean out the train and off a step it was mounted on. Then cos that obviously wasnt enough kept on shoving her til she was on the floor on her back hysterical. By the time i got there C was on her back on the floor crying and this little shit's hands were still on her chest pushing her down. I scooped her up and she kept sobbing saying 'im sorry mummy im sorry' which was just heartrending.

Luckily in this case i actually met some very decent parents, they were about a second behind me getting to them both, scolded the little girl, made her apologise then took her home as punishment. Just as well cos i was furious and if they hadnt dealt with it properly was ready for an argument as the nastiess was totally out of context, its one thing a bit of light pushing between toddlers but this little girl was totally malicious. I know C is mine and im probably biased but like i said to neil even for a stunt baby she doesnt have it in her to push and shove shes actually surprisingly gentle and was obviously very shaken up by it. It was a good 2 hours after it happened before she stopped saying to me 'Little girl pushed me mummy'. Each time i just told her i know the little girl had pushed her and that it was naughty to push other children but she was ok now and eventually she seemed to forget and didnt mention it when her daddy got home.

I suppose it will all change when awen gets to 2 and they are knocking lumps out of each other

i hate soft play too, but ava loves it. At least they sounded like responsible parents, you run into some little monsters at these places.

Gah! I hate mean kids! I know they are only little themselves, but it's so upsetting to see your little one getting picked on and pushed around. So glad the parents were decent and took action instead of cheering her on..as I have seen parents that are actually quite proud of their demon kids. I am terrified that Makynlee is going to be that little bully in the playground. She pushed a little boy off his chair in Please Mum clothing store and tried ripping the toy out of his hand. The mother scowled at me like my kid was an animal even tho I scolded Maky, apologized, and removed her from the play area. Breaks my heart to think C thought she did something wrong by apologizing.

Poor C

That kids sounds awful, I feel sorry for the parents and they did the only thing they could really

im uberly impressed you met decent parents for a change though!!

its really awful, i hate going to them too cos they are so skanky most the time!! x

What a little shit lol I would've been fuming too, but glad the parents punished her for what she did. Harry always seems to get bullied at these places too hes like a target for the older kids and most of the parents there do *$%£ all!! xx

What a little sod.

I dread the day that happens to either of the girls... I will struggle to keep a lid on it!

Hats off to the parents though!

Like ya all said the parents were great so i didnt lose me rag. I was mostly torn between being mad as hell at the other kid and quite distraught at c saying sorry between sobs. Think is all forgotten now though as hasnt been mentioned since about 4ish. She did quite well out of it in the end as we went to a shop opposite as we came out to buy a birthday present for a party shes going to on saturday and came out with a caelyn dressed as a ladybug with a red and black tutu, ladybug wings and a pair of antenna with fuzz on the ends as i cudnt resist it. She looked ace and cheered right up. They had a bumblebee set too and im currently trying to remind myself ive got her birthday presents to sort out yet and not go back lol!!!!!

Aw bless poor C.

Glad she seems to have forgotten, what a horrible child

Poor C!

Good on the parents for reacting the way they did, hopefully the child will learn to behave in future because of it!

yack another good reason to avoid these places!
