[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uhhh... I'm having a hard time believing that this really happened. Of course I talk to other parents, male or female. Same with my husband. But we're adults and I trust him not to pick up women at the playground and he extends that same trust to me... lol. [/quote]

OP here. I live in a very….dramatic….community. Mostly people from another culture where jealousy and control are the norm. Once I dated a hot guy (I’m divorced) and my friends’ husbands banned me from bringing him to get-togethers in case their wives, I dunno, hooked up with him in the bathroom.

So I’m not totally surprised, but just wanted a reality check that this isn’t normal. I don’t want to cause trouble for anyone but I also don’t want to be treated like I’m some temptress looking to steal husbands (that I don’t even want, ha). [/quote]

NP here.  I think it’s odd that the daughter was the enforcer.  That said, I tend to err on the side of being conservative about these things and I won’t just go up to a dad and strike up a full on one on one conversation with just us.  If it’s a larger group of people no issue if they get pulled into the conversation. If it’s a one off, like you see their kid do something cute or conversely if the kid fell, I might might make a quick comment.  But I honestly don’t want to open up the potential for there to be a misunderstanding about flirting or interest with a parent of the opposite gender.  I am also cautious in general about people that I don’t know and my kids don’t know.[/quote]
