[quote=Anonymous]I 100% judge Big Show on the Climbing Structure dad, Clogging the Big Kid Slide To Slide With a Baby When There’s A Baby Slide Mom, and general performative parenting. When my DD was preschool age those parents would really bug her. She would run off the equipment and wait until they left. Think about it- it’s normal and healthy for a 4 year old to encounter another 4 year old at the top of the slide and have to negotiate for a turn. I want my DD to learn to be around unfamiliar kids in a safe environment! That’s why public playgrounds exist. It’s really weird for a 4 year old to be at the top of the slide trying to decide if they engage in the same conversation with a grown adult man. I don’t want my DD to have to figure out when she should or shouldn’t talk to an adult man who she doesn’t know. That’s not why public playgrounds exist! Parents belong on benches unless they’re pushing swings or spotting tiny toddlers/babies. [/quote]
