@sarahloftus: How would you have reacted to someone saying this to your toddler mid tantrum at a play cafe? I thought nothing of it at the time, but now I’m reflecting on the situation I’m absolutely baffled! #toddlertantrums #toddlermum #mumadvice #mumlife #mumsoftiktok

As a granny myself I don’t think she meant any harm, i think she probably thought she was helping you by trying to stop your son crying. We sometimes get it wrong but our intentions are not bad. 😁

Some people don’t realise how patronising it sounds when they talk through children to get their point across. Her blaming your child for hers crying is so wrong, children should never be made to feel guilty for expressing their feelings!

She was trying to support you. Definite over thinking. Maybe Max was wanting to go outside as well and she didn’t want to be rude to you or your little boy.

As a granny we are a different generation… most of us doing childcare are trying our best to fit into these groups with the younger generation.. we don’t always get it right.. you did a great job dealing with your son though

Tbh I wouldn't have said anything either and would have gone else where if a childs crying was upsetting my son BUT I think the woman was just trying to help defuse the situation. I don't think she meant any harm x

Some people try to talk to the child to distract them, they say silly things

Having been in the position when my little boy has one of his intense meltdowns, which I’m already so conscience and embarrassed about anyway, comments like that would just heighten my anxiety and make me feel even worse. There may very well have been no ill intention behind it, however I do think the whole comment wasn’t needed in the situation. You prioritise your little one in that situation and what works for you. In that moment, anything else is irrelevant. Keep being you! x

Seems like you dealt with it perfectly in the way that your son was your priority. Things are clearer in hindsight so try not to dwell on what could've been better.

i know i just would have gone to the little boy “it’s ok, he just doesn’t understand and wants to go outside”. i think what you done was absolutely fine. she was just being a twat - should have focused on why her 5yo was crying at that and dealt with him 🙃

keep it up what you think is the way to parent YOUR child. and do not let that happen, that is their problem that seeing it upseting them, your son is the one whos sad , if they dont like it, dont look. :)

Some people think it’s helpful to get involved. I would have said ‘Don’t worry Max it’s nothing to do with you. Move back a little bit and give him some space sweetie’. Also maybe try less words, too much talk in these situations can be tricky for little ones to process. Shoes first, then outside. Mummy’s shoes, xxx shoes. Now outside.

I'd say she was just trying to help you get him to stop. I've probably said the same to my own that they will upset everyone else to tey and get them to stop 😅 I'd say you are overthinking it.

my son (nearly 2) does tantrum. it's what they do. she prob meant nothing by it but in that situation they are not listening & the adult with him is probably stressing enough without comments. don't think about it. your son will have many more tantrums in public. it's just him expression & not sure how to control his emotions at that time. it's normal at that way plus other parents will be glad it's not just their child who tantrums 😂 x

Would have done the same thing! Biggest pet peeve is when someone talks through a child to be passive aggressive towards Mum 🙄
