Actually, I frequently am quite heartened by the nanny-child interactions I see. Lots of loving and engaged nannies out there. Sorry your neighbors have crappy ones.

I think I would've looked at him and asked him who the hell he thought he was. Seriously, I don't give a shit what some jerk thinks about me, so I KNOW I would've asked that. I also would've told him that I haven't seen the kids do anything wrong and that if he thinks roughhousing by 9 year old kids is out of line, he has a lot of learning to do as a parent.

Then, I would've walked over to those kids and told them that they would be safer finding somewhere else to play. I would've told them that guy is a jerk and sometimes it's just best to get out of a jerk's way.

Then I would've provided the example by taking my kids and leaving the playground.

OP if this really happened just say the name of the play area. Some of us would like to go read someone the riot act.

If this guy really used the n word we need to form a posse and do a beat down. I'm a white woman and I'll be there.

Excellent non-violent modeling for your kids!

I would have slapped the living day lights out of that man, in front of the children. Freaking monster!

I would have gone for the switchblade in my purse and sliced his throat, of course.

Exactly. Bunch of armchair vigilantes up in here.

I would want to scream at him, but I suspect my common sense would kick in. Your kids need a mother (I'm assuming OP is a woman.).

Disgusting. Things like this make me ashamed to be white.

I can see it happening in a gentrifying area (I live in one).

+1. My DS often plays on a playground near his school and I would want to know if some asshole was verbally abusing him and his friends.
