My Mum, my little guy & I were at that same table (though different store location) and when we arrived, there were two mothers sitting and reading while their two children hoarded ALL the trains. I left my Mum watching my son so I could pick something up and when I returned, and we left, my Mum told me that not ONCE did either mother suggest their children share the trains with my son. It's really unbelievable what some parents are teaching their children. Fortunately (or maybe it's that it's what I've TAUGHT him) my son is easy going and happy to share, otherwise this could've been really messy. I must agree!

My little one is very affectionate and was playing while older kids were there. She went to touch or hug another child and the child pushed her on the floor with the mother looking on. My DD looked up at me so sad and the woman said "you should teach your child not to touch other kids".....What....you're kidding right...she was 1 and a half.....people never cease to amaze me with their ignorance. That experience was so vivid for me and hurtful. I has a really bad experience with my DD when she was about 1.5 at the “train table”; I almost broke down in tears I was so angry.

Your son is in a massive minority of kids who know their parents will protect them from unfairness where possible. Lucky him! It makes me crrrrrrrrrazy to hear parents teaching their kids things like this, as well as the whole if your kid hurts someone an across the board "say your sorry and make them feel better" makes me pretty wild too. Take the extra time to teach your kid to THINK about the consequences of their actions and teach them how to figure out if they ARE sorry, and teach them to think about the fact that "sorry" comes with an intent to not do it again. Good Parenting ain't easy and its not for the weak minded/willed or lazy, thats for sure. Go you!
