Mom ‘shocked’ after friend shouted on his 2-year-old son

• One woman says she was “shocked and surprised” when a friend screamed at her 2-year-old son during a weekend visit.
• She says the incident occurred after toddlers “threw their cup of water at the wall.”
• The woman detailed her experience on the community side mumsnet.com and asked others if she was unreasonable to believe that “you do not call for other people’s children.”

One woman says her friend shouted “anger” on her two -year -old son when they came to stay this weekend, and she is still “shaken” by the outbreak.

The woman detailed her experience on the British based community site Mumnet In a post entitled “AIBU (am I unreasonable) to believe that you do not call for other people’s children (?)” In the post, she explained that she and her toddlers recently visited her friend, her friend’s husband and their children, and that her child on one occasion “threw her cup of water at the wall.”

“My friend really shouted on my (just turned) two -year -old,” wrote the woman, leaving that her friend then said: “It was naughty! You did it on purpose! I’m not happy with you! Tantrum everything you like you have been bad!”

The original poster (OP) says she was “really shocked and surprised” by the incident and noted that she took down her son from her highchair and then “took him back to say sad after they both cooled down.”

However, the woman says that her friend and her husband were still “quite frosty” with her son despite the apology and his young age.

“I texted her today to say thank you for having us and offered to send color out to her if needed,” wrote the woman – to whom she says her friend Curtly replied that she will “deal with the wall this week” with “no assurance that it is good.”

“I think she’s still angry with my son/me,” wrote OP before I admitted, “I would never shout it angry with someone else’s child (or my own).”

“What do people think?” she asked at the end of her post.

A number of comments were quick to assure the woman that her feelings are completely valid and that her friend was the one who behaved unreasonably.

“Screaming at a 2-year-old is as naughty as throwing a cup and an adult should know better,” commented a person.

“Whether a 2-year-old” should “know not to throw things, they still throw things. Yes, correct the behavior but call is unnecessary,” added another user.

Another commentator chimped with, “She’s in a shock when her child becomes a 2yo. Until then I would not visit this friend again.”

Some others said that even though the behavior required correction, it was not the friend’s place to do so.

“Yes, a 2-year-old (who throws) a cup of water definitely needs to tell very strongly. Pretty possibly You should have shouted Or certainly very firm told him. But not her, “said one person.

Another person added: “I have told others (people’s) children quite firmly when they were doing something about their children’s terrible behavior … and I don’t really care what the parents think about me. But actually shouted at a two -year -old for throwing a cup of water at (the wall seems) unimpeded.”
