[quote=Anonymous]I try very hard not to hover with mine, and have always tried to let them explore their own boundaries. However, I always have my eye on them. A child going up to a random parent (man or woman) on a playground isn’t that off to me. A playground is a nice spot to let them exert that type of independence while you’re a safe distance away. But you’re saying it isn’t on a playground, and you’ll periodically “look around to see where she is.” That makes it seem like you don’t know where she is. Depending on the setting, that could be dangerous.

And I’m with the PPs - I don’t want to play with other kids lol. I don’t mind if they come over and chit chat for a minute or so, but if they linger too long it’s honestly annoying. And I will look to make sure a child has an adult if they’re little. It isn’t a judgy thing, just normal concern to make sure they’re with someone.

I think helicopter parenting at the playground is annoying (my DH is like this, and it certainly doesn’t help my kids), but you should have eyes on your kid.[/quote]
