Nate sat on the bench and a little 5 yr old girl sat next to him. After awhile, she got up to play and her mom remained on the bench next to Nate. There wasn't any room before that so I sat across from him. Then to my surprise, this lady started "mothering" Nate! She kept wiping his messy face and helping hold his drink and on and on. I was surprised to find that it was EXTREMELY annoying to me because I kept thinking.."Hello! I'm his mom and I'm right here!" If he needed my help I would offer it but I'm not going to totally baby him. I would never have done that to her child with her sitting across from me and it amazed me that she didn't even hesitate...especially since I had just met her at the party! Finally I had enough and got up to sit next to Nate (there was a spot open at that point) and took over. Geeeeeez!! Here's some photos below:

You know the over zealous mom may just have more than one child and mothering all the time, even strangers just comes naturally. I know I wouldn't hesitate to wipe a kids face, even if his mom was across the table, if I was sitting next to him and it needed done. Sometimes people just don't think about the small stuff like that because it just such a part of their daily routine. It really doesn't seem like something to get that bothered about.
welcome to one of the crazier aspects of parenting, a birthday party at a pizza place! Love that kid, though, you're awesome and so is he (and He)
... and get used to Chuck E Cheese
Love skeeball! Great pictures of what looked like a fun party.
forgot to add that I would not have cleaned up Nate unless you asked me to first. ;)
I would have cleaned him up, but like anonymous said, it would be because that is what I do all day. Matt just reminded me of an incident with his mother. She would mother all of the kids in her class. It became such a habit that she even tucked in the principal's shirt one day! Just mark it down to a mom being loving and move on.
