[quote=Anonymous]After watching our 2 year old one day, a friend's spouse's comment about our toddler giving men special flirty looks and giving him the eye in a grown up way really creeped us out. We explained that she relates well to dads because she's with her own dad (who works nights) most of the day. We offered that maybe they were misinterpreting her smiles. But this other dad and his wife were insistent that dd is a flirt and we need to watch out for this because she's a pretty little girl. This comment coupled with the fact that we know this other dad privately flies off the handle (according to his spouse) and they've had screaming matches in front of their kid, plus some comments from this couple comparing our dd and theirs has made us very reluctant to take them up on their offers to babysit.  We worry that they're projecting their grown up issues onto a young child and are concerned about how they'll behave when alone with the kids. Since the flirty comment we usually thank them for the offer and politely decline. And we only do playdates if me or DH is present. 
Checking in to see though if we're overreacting.[/quote]
