Walking down the street, teachers/ daycare workers know &approach the kid but ignore the adult with the child?

I've had this experience a few times. An adult who knows the child I'm with will stop and speak to the child and completely ignore me. Usually a woman, probably from the kid's school or daycare. Granted the adult doesn't know me - we've never met.

On occasions when I had to approach my young relatives while the child was in the care of an adult I'd never met - I said hello to my nephew, neice etc, then immediately introduced myself to and greeted the adult careperson.

Have you been on either end of this? Maybe I have some view of the social protocol that most don't?

Update:

Ok, thank you - That's how I see it, too. It IS unnerving to me. I question whether I'm being paranoid but - I'd rather safe than sorry.

Is it that teachers and other pros see it differently?

    First off it's VERY rude. Secondly it's sort of scary too - just because the person knows the child's doesn't mean they aren't a danger. Next time I would say "and you ARE" .......... let them know it isn't appropriate. I would even go so far as to put the child behind me.

    I have experienced this. The adult in this sort of situation, is being very rude.

    I've had my own kids teachers do the same and act as if I wasn't even there. I've been told by many that I can be very intimidating. I haven't a clue as to why. Good male friends tried to explain to me that by other men saying I am intimidating, that it meant, they knew they couldn't pull the woool over my eyes like they can with bimbos. :-)

    Maybe if it happens again, you reach out your hand and introduce yourself first?? It might be okay to do that.

    I think you're quite right! It's bad manners on the part of these people, and they should really know better than to speak to the child in your care without letting you know exactly who they are.

    Perhaps when this next happens, give a gentle reminder about the social niceties by saying to the child, "Why, Johnnie, how nice that we've bumped into a friend of yours! Why don't you introduce me to her?"

    (Depending on the age of the child, of course! But there's no harm in them assimilating a social lesson at the same time, of course.)
