Daycare - was I a jerk?

[sunshineluv]

Not a jerk, babies cry. It isn't a big deal.

No. I dont touch other children at daycare. I dont know why, I feel like its an unwritten rule in the world lol.

Sometimes they'll grab my pant leg and im always like "ummm let's go play with this toy sweetie"

Not a jerk. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If you had done something, someone could've had a problem with a "stranger" interacting with the child.

This. I would be more afraid of another parent going apeshit on me for touching the kid than I would about the kid crying for a few minutes.

I would have asked the teacher if there was anything I could do but I don't think you're a jerk.

I don't think you are a jerk, the teacher could have asked you.

Ditto. Not a jerk, at all.

I would have put the paci back, but you weren't a jerk for not doing so.
