[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that they're playing with their kids, which is fine. I do it sometimes (play restaurant or whatever) at the playground. It's how they totally avoid eye contact with other parents while narrating everything their kid does in a sing song voice. And this is both mothers and fathers. It's like they are creating a weird family bubble for their kid. It won't kill you to ignore your kid for 60 seconds while you speak to another adult.[/quote] Those parents are trying to help their kids with speech and vocabulary. They mean well but I do think if they let their kid interact with other kids, the kid would learn more rapidly. Those kinds of tone deaf parents are also more common in dmv for some reason. I think the culture is not so interactive here.[/quote]
