After reading your earlier posts on this thread, I'd say it's no more than I'd expect
And it's not a case of a "loved up kids board" - it's more a case of manners

I can't see anyone knocking, criticizing or in any way against your devotion to your dogs, it's great, it's what makes you happy, now please pay us the same courtesy.

I would say that many small children would be scared of a large boxer charging towards them - they would not necessarily need to be afraid of dogs (nor the dog be aggressive). I don't think it is acceptable to allow an off lead dog to charge up to anyone - never mind a small child. JMO.
Fair enough, you were apologetic and I think that should go a long way. Obviously the child was upset though, and in the circumstances the mother may have mouthed off at you due to the stress of the situation.

If you like kids go & have 100s, just dont expect me to baby sit!
Two is quite enough, thanks!
I definitely want more dogs, I definitely don't want any more kids, they are much more work, if you think dog training is a challenge....!And no, I certainly wouldn't ask you to babysit! I think I would be very uncomfortable having someone around my children who found them repellent. Just as I don't really like people around my dogs who don't like them.

If my child was crying because a dog came near it I'd wallop it! I do not agree with molly coddling children.
Now I'm in trouble.
Would you wallop your puppy too for being scared of a large, off lead dog charging up to it, and it crying in fear?I have dogs and a child. If an off lead dog ran up and scared my son, of course I wouldn't make a big deal out of it and would try to jolly him along (a bit like you do with a pup experiencing something they find scary) - however, I would be a bit p*ssed off that the owner of the dog didn't have control over her animal.

I've got no problem with kids or people with kids, I've got no problem with people who don't like dogs. If everyone was the same then life would be very boring.
There have been some very useful and thoughtful posts on this thread and it would be nice if they weren't clouded by arguing.

A typical responce to this situation from a child would be to cry.
As for the comments on people walking in areas where dogs are off the lead - TOUGH!! people can walk wherever the heck they want, when they want. A responsible owner won't let their dog off the lead without a decent recall, nor would they put their dog in a situation where it can bother others. Dogs are getting banned from public places left right and centre. If we don't want this continue, we need to start taking responsibility and stop shifting the blame on others...crying kids, moody parents, non dog owners.
