Is it ok to scold someone else’s kid? Last week, we were at a birthday party and we met a new family who had a 3 year old boy. He was quite a monster. Later in the evening, I had couch cushion on my lap and he kept hitting it. I thought he was being playful so I’d tickle him back or play but he kept hitting harder and harder. So I tried to ignore him. Then he reached under the cushion and pinched me (HARD too!). I told him “No” nicely but he kept doing it. Finally the mom heard me saying no and took him to another room to play. Would it have been ok if I actually yelled or scolded him? I’m not too sure of the etiquette.

I think if Katie was doing something wrong I wouldn’t mind if another parent scolded her but who knows. I guess it depends on the situation.
