How can I better advocate for my child?
This all depends on your appetite for confrontation. You might have said something like “I’m sure your mother will agree. Where is she? Let’s talk to her.” But, of course, that runs the risk of actually having to talk to her mother, who might be a terrible person and not share your opinion of play house shareability, or her mother not being present and your retort falling flat.
Realistically, you probably don’t want your toddler playing with those kids anyway, so sharing the play house by taking turns might be the more reasonable approach. The playground should be fun and is also a place where kids will learn to deal with all sorts of jerks. It’s good that you were there to not be oblivious and good that you got your toddler out of a bully-ish situation, but you don’t also need to take on the burden of trying to make other kids behave well.
